Secure Employment in Canada with Employer Support
Let Networth Immigration Help You Navigate the Path to Authorized Canadian Employment
If you’ve received a job offer from a Canadian employer and are ready to build your future in Canada, a Closed Work Permit—also known as an LMIA-Based Work Permit—is your ticket to working legally in the country. This employer-specific permit allows you to contribute to the Canadian workforce while gaining valuable international work experience.
What Is a Closed Work Permit?
A Closed Work Permit is an employer-specific work authorization issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). It permits you to work only for the employer listed on your permit, in the specific role, location, and time frame indicated.
In most cases, this type of work permit requires an approved LMIA—a document that proves no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to fill the position, and that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact the Canadian labour market.
Who Needs a Closed / LMIA-Based Work Permit?
You may need a Closed Work Permit if:
You’ve received a valid job offer from a Canadian employer
Your employer has secured a positive or neutral LMIA
You plan to work in Canada temporarily under a specific employer
You are not eligible for an open work permit (e.g., PGWP, spousal, etc.)
