Closed Work Permit

Have you secured a job offer from a Canadian employer and are ready to take the next step in your immigration journey? A Closed Work Permit allows you to work in Canada legally, tied to a specific employer and role. At Saga Immigration, we offer complete, end-to-end assistance with the Closed Work Permit process, helping you turn your employment opportunity into reality with confidence and clarity.

What is a Closed Work Permit?

What is a Closed Work Permit?

A Closed Work Permit (also known as an employer-specific work permit) allows foreign nationals to work in Canada only for the employer listed on the permit and under the conditions stated. These permits are typically issued for 1–2 years and may be renewable based on continued employment. This type of permit is ideal for workers with a concrete job offer who are entering Canada through employer sponsorship or Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)-based recruitment.

Who is Eligible?

Who is Eligible?

To apply for a Closed Work Permit, the applicant must have:

  • A valid job offer from a Canadian employer, with clearly stated duties, location, salary, and duration

  • A positive LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) from Employment and Social Development Canada (if required), or proof of LMIA-exemption under special programs

  • Proof of relevant qualifications, including education, experience, and skills required for the position

  • A valid passport and legal status (if applying from within Canada)

  • The ability to pass any required medical and security checks


Note: The final decision rests with the immigration officer. A well-documented and properly submitted application significantly improves approval chances.
