Work in Canada
We assess work permit options in light of your experience, circumstances and proposed employment.
How we can help
- Employer-specific permits
- Open permits, where available
- Extensions and changes of conditions
Does this sound like you?
- You received a Canadian job offer while in Argentina and want to assess the authorization needed before agreeing to a start date.
- You hold a permit and are considering a different employer, role or set of working conditions.
- You want to discuss an extension or whether an open work permit category might fit your circumstances.
What we review in a consultation
- Cyrus can assess the position, your experience, immigration status and the relationship between the offer and the proposed permit.
- The discussion can identify information needed from the employer and whether an LMIA or possible exemption needs consideration.
- It can also address existing permit conditions and how to coordinate the next steps with your personal and professional plans.
Getting ready for the first step
Have this information to hand. A short summary is enough for your first message; we will explain how to share documents securely.
- Summarize the role and your goals; send the offer and other documents only after receiving secure sharing instructions.
- Have your employment dates, main duties, qualifications and previous or current permits available for discussion.
- Note planned job changes, expiry dates and pending applications, even if your records are not yet complete.
Questions about this service
How should I prepare my Argentine work history for a consultation?
Summarize employers or clients, dates, duties, hours and pay, and identify employment and self-employment separately. Note available evidence such as references, pay records, contracts or invoices. Cyrus assesses which experience and evidence matter for the proposed pathway; there is no single document list for every work permit.
Does a job offer let me start working?
Not by itself. Authorization depends on a permit or an applicable exemption. Before setting a start date, the requirements and conditions relevant to your circumstances need to be assessed.
Can I apply for an open work permit?
Open work permits are available in specific circumstances. A consultation can assess whether a category might apply; wanting to work in Canada is not enough to qualify for an open permit.
Does a work permit automatically lead to permanent residence?
No. Temporary work and permanent residence have separate requirements. Both goals can be considered together, without assuming that obtaining one guarantees the other.
