在加拿大就业 Working in Canada

常见问题 FAQs

谁可以在加拿大工作 Who is eligible to work in Canada?

除某些情况外，大多数外籍人士需要获取工作许可才能在加拿大境内从事有偿工作。

绝大多数申请人需要首先获得加拿大雇主的工作邀请或劳务合同，同时获得加拿大劳动力市场影响评估的支持才能递交工作许可申请。但也有一些工作许可的类别可以对工作邀请及加拿大劳动力市场影响评估的要求有所豁免，例如：近期从加拿大指定院校毕业的国际留学生、在加拿大境内有效学习/工作许可持有人的配偶等。

工作许可申请人还需同时满足以下条件：

  • 证明其会在工作许可到期日期前离境加拿大；且
  • 证明有足够的资金支持其及家人在加拿大的生活并返回祖国；且
  • 证明其在刑事记录或医疗疾病方面未被禁止入境加拿大；且
  • 计划为符合资格的加拿大雇主工作；且
  • 按要求提供所需材料，证明其有资格入境加拿大。

Most foreign nationals require a permit to be eligible to work in Canada, with some exemptions.

To apply for a work permit, most candidates will require a Canadian job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). There are some exceptions to this requirement, where foreign workers can apply for a work permit without an LMIA, or a job offer. Examples of this include a recent graduate from a Canadian Designated Learning Institute (DLI), or the spouse of someone already on a Canadian work or study permit.

Candidates who qualify to apply for a work permit must also meet the following eligibility requirements:

  • Demonstrate their intent to leave once their work authorization expires; and
  • Prove they have sufficient funds to support them and their family in Canada and to return home; and
  • Are not criminally or medically inadmissible to Canada; and
  • Plan to work with an eligible employer; and
  • Can provide any requested documents that may prove their eligibility to enter Canada

工作许可的类型 Types of Canadian work permits

获得加拿大工作许可的方式有很多种。某些类别的工作许可要求加拿大雇主提供工作机会，某些要求雇主提供劳动力市场影响评估，而还有一些要求申请人与加拿大存在某种联系（教育历史、配偶担保等）。请参考下列不同工作许可类别，以确定符合申请人申请资格的工作许可：

需要劳动力市场影响评估背书

豁免劳动力市场影响评估，但需要工作邀请或雇佣合同

开放式工作许可，无需工作邀请或劳动力市场影响评估

There are many different options for obtaining a Canadian work permit. Some work permits require a job offer from a Canadian employer, some require that the employer provide a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), while others require that a person has some sort of connection to Canada (previous education, spousal sponsorship, etc.). Please refer to the following categories below to determine the work permit which best suits your qualifications:

Requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

LMIA-Exempt but requiring a job offer or employment contract

Open Work Permits (no job offer or LMIA required)

Immigration Tip: Canadian permanent residents do not require a work permit to work in Canada.  Permanent resident status gives a person the legal right to live and work anywhere in the country.  Find out more about permanent immigration options for professional and skilled workers.

如何获批工作许可 How to obtain a Canadian work permit

获批加拿大工作许可的过程因所申请工作许可类型的不同而已。例如：在加拿大留学的国际学生通常会自动获批兼职工作许可，并作为他们学习许可授权的一部分。

大多数封闭式工作许可申请都需要申请人获得加拿大雇主的正式工作邀请，并得到劳动力市场影响评估的支持。即使可以豁免劳动力市场影响评估，或不需要工作许可便可在加拿大从事工作，申请人也需了解合法入境加拿大所需准备的相关文件。加拿大的工作许可一般可以分为两种：封闭式（限制性）工作许可和开放式工作许可。

封闭式工作许可与特定的加拿大雇主挂钩，这意味着获得封闭式工作许可的外籍人士必须持续在同一工作地点为同一雇主工作，除非他们的工作许可有所更改。

The process for obtaining a Canadian work permit varies greatly depending on which type of work permit a person is applying for. For example, an international student studying in Canada will oftentimes be automatically issued authorization to work part-time as part of their study permit authorization.

Most closed work permit applications require that a foreign national has an official job offer from a Canadian employer which is supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Even those who are LMIA-exempt or exempt from requiring a work permit should be aware of the unique documentation they need to prepare in order to ensure they are granted entry to Canada. There are two general pathways for obtaining a Canadian work permit: a closed (restricted) work permit and an open work permit.

Closed work permits are tied to specific employers, this means that a foreign national issued a closed work permit must remain working with the same employer at the same location unless they change their work permit.

获得工作机会即有资格申工签 If I have a Canadian job offer, am I eligible to apply for a work permit?

获得加拿大雇主的工作录用并不意味着申请人有资格申请工作许可。一份工作录用必须满足一定条件，才能对申请工作许可起到积极作用。大多数情况下，为了符合工作许可申请资格，申请人的工作录用必须满足：

  • 获批劳动力市场影响力评估；或
  • 豁免劳动力市场影响评估

需要注意的是，魁北克省对判断工作录用在申请工作许可时是否具有有效性，拥有独立裁量权。

Having a Canadian job offer does not necessarily mean you are eligible to apply for a work permit. A job offer must meet certain requirements to be considered valid for certain work permit applications. In most cases, in order to be eligible for a work permit, an applicant’s job offer must be either:

  • Supported by a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA); or
  • Exempt from requiring an LMIA.

It is important to note that the province of Quebec has its own process for determining the validity of an offer of employment.

工作许可授权行为 What am I allowed to do on a Canadian work permit?

纸质工作许可上标注了对工签持有人的特定限制，这些限制主要取决于工签持有人所获得的工作许可类型。限制条件可能包括工签持有人可以从事的工作类型、可以为其工作的雇主，以及可以在加拿大工作的时长。任何工作许可持有人都被禁止在有可能存在性剥削风险的企业工作。

工签持有人并不是加拿大的永久居民，必须在工作许可标注的到期日期前离境。如果希望在加拿大就业并最终获取永久居留权，请填写我们的免费评估表，以便获取详尽的移民规划与评估。

Your physical work permit outlines the specific restrictions attached to your authorization. These limitations will mainly be determined by the type of work permit you are eligible for. Conditions may include the type of work you can engage in, where and for whom you can work, and how long you can work in Canada. All work permit holders are prohibited from working at a business where is are grounds to suspect a risk of sexual exploitations of some workers.

Work permit holders are not permanent residents of Canada and must leave the country by the end of their authorized stay. However, if you are working in Canada and would like to remain permanently, complete our free assessment form to receive a full evaluation of your immigration options.

工签申请可否包含家庭成员 Can my family be included on my work permit application?

如果申请人正在申请由雇主支持的工作许可，其配偶及未成年子女可能有资格陪同入境加拿大。如果申请人有适龄就学子女，他们可以在加拿大教育机构就学且无需单独申请学习许可。申请人的配偶或伴侣可能有资格申请开放式工作许可，并允许他们在加拿大境内为任何雇主工作。

If you are applying for an employer-supported work permit, you may be eligible to have your spouse and dependent children accompany you to Canada.

If your children are school-aged and are in Canada, they may attend Canadian educational institutions without requiring a separate study permit.  Your spouse or partner may also be eligible to apply for an open work permit, allowing them to work for any employer in Canada.

办理工作许可的成本 How much does a Canadian work permit cost?

封闭式工作许可的政府费为每人$155加币；开放式工作许可的政府费为每人$255加币。身份恢复或作为表演艺术团体申请集体工作许可，还需支付额外的政府费。

The processing fee for a closed work permit is $155 CAD per person or $255 per person for an open work permit. If you are restoring a work permit or applying as a group of performing artists, additional fees will apply.

工作许可生物信息采集 Biometrics for Canadian work permits

加拿大移民局目前的一项临时措施，允许境内工签申请人豁免生物信息采集。加拿大境外的申请人仍需在收到生物信息采集指示函后根据加拿大政府指示，在特定网页上提交生物采集信息。

IRCC currently has a temporary measure in place that exempts applicants applying for a work permit from within Canada. Candidates outside of Canada are still required to provide biometrics upon receiving a biometrics instruction letter. Follow the government of Canada’s instructions for how to give your biometrics on their dedicated page.

工作许可无犯罪证明 Police clearances for Canadian work permits

审查工作许可申请的签证官会要求申请人提供来自警方的无犯罪证明。根据申请人递交申请时所处地区的不同，该无犯罪证明可能作为申请材料的一部分，需要在初次材料提交时一并提供。工作许可申请人可能需要提供需要提供自18岁起、居住超过6个月或更长时间国家或地区警方的无犯罪证明。

The visa officer reviewing your application may ask you to provide police clearances certificates. Depending on where you are applying from, this document may be part of your application checklist and must be provided with your initial submission.

Work permit applicants may be required to provide a police clearance certificate from any country that they have lived in for 6 months or more past the age of 18.

工作许可体检要求 Medical exam for Canadian work permit

申请在加拿大境内工作的外籍人士可能需要完成体检。是否需要体检主要取决于他们计划在加拿大的停留时长、居住地点以及他们将要从事的职业。通常情况下，如果申请人计划在加拿大的工作时间少于6个月则不需要体检。如果申请人将要从事会与他人产生密切接触的工作，或者申请人在过去一段时间去过某些国家并从事农业活动，则需要进行体检。

如果申请人计划在加拿大工作超过6个月且符合以下条件之一，则会被要求体检：

  • 申请人曾在加拿大官方页面罗列的国家之一居住或旅行超过6个月；或
  • 申请人将要从事的职业会与上述链接中的他人产生密切接触。

体检必须由加拿大移民局指定的医师完成。申请人可以选择提前进行体检，即在递交工作许可申请之前即查找并联系指定医师并完成体检。如果申请时没有提供体检报告，签证官将提供具体说明告知申请人如何完成体检，并给出完成体检的截止日期。

Foreign nationals that apply to work in Canada may need to complete a medical exam, depending on their intended length of stay, where they have lived, and what occupation they will work in.

If you intend to work in Canada for less than 6 months, you will likely not require a medical exam, with some exceptions. In the case that you intend to work in a job that brings you into close contact with people or are an agricultural worker that has been to certain countries, you will need a medical exam.

If you are planning to work in Canada for longer than 6 months, you will be required to take a medical exam if one of the following conditions applies:

  • You have lived in or travelled to one of the countries listed on Canada’s ‘Find out if you need a medical exam’ page for 6-months or longer, or
  • You intend to work in an occupation where you will be in close contact with people listed in the above-mentioned hyperlink

Medical exams must be completed with a panel physician designated by IRCC. You can find a panel physician near you on IRCC’s Find a Panel Physician webpage.

Applicants have the option to take an upfront medical exam. This involves contacting the panel physician directly and taking the exam prior to submitting a work permit application. If you do not provide your medical exam results with your application, the IRCC officer will send instructions on how to complete the medical exam and provide a deadline for when it needs to be completed.

工作许可照片要求 Photo requirements for Canadian work permit

申请加拿大工作许可的外籍人士，递交申请时需提供一张护照大小的证件照片。照片必须符合加拿大移民局的s具体要求。

Foreign nationals applying for a Canadian work permit must provide a passport-sized photo with their application. The photo must be according to IRCC’s specifications.

工作许可办理周期 How long will it take to process my work permit application?

工作许可的办理周期因工签种类和申请递交时申请人所居住的国家而异，审理周期从几周到几个月不等。

The processing time for a work permit application depends on the type of work permit and the applicant’s country of residence at the time of application.  Processing times range anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

劳动力市场影响评估审理周期 How long will it take to process my LMIA application?

劳动力市场影响评估的申请分为两种：常规评估与简化评估。简化的劳动力影响评估只存在于魁北克省。常规的劳动力影响评估需要逐案审理，审理周期因申请人而异。通常情况下，需要几周至数月不等的审理周期。

符合全球人才计划条件的加拿大雇主在递交劳动力市场影响评估时可能会更快的获得反馈。魁北克省简化版的劳动力市场影响评估的评估处理周期是2-3个月。

There are two types of Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) applications: a regular LMIA and a simplified LMIA. The simplified LMIA is only available in the province of Quebec. The regular LMIA is processed on a case-by-case basis with processing times varying greatly from applicant to applicant. Generally, it takes a several weeks to months to receive a response on a regular LMIA application.

If an employer is eligible for Canada’s Global Talent Stream, they may qualify for expedited LMIA processing. The simplified LMIA completed for Quebec employment is usually processed in approximately two to three months.

工作许可/劳动力市场影响评估申请成功率 What is the rate of success for work permit/LMIA applications?

每个申请都是因地制宜逐案审理，给出准确的工作许可/劳动力市场影响评估申请成功率略显不切实际。一般情况下，符合条件的劳动力市场影响评估都会获批。但由于申请是由官员根据一定的主观判断进行自由裁量，因此同一申请在遇到不同官员时结果可能有所出入。

It is impossible to give a rate of success for work permit/LMIA applications, as all applications are processed on a case-by-case basis. If an applicant meets the requirements of the LMIA, their application should be approved. However, applications are assessed by individual officers, each exercising their own discretion in choosing whether or not to approve a work permit application.

如何查询工作许可申请状态 How can I check the status of my work permit application?

如果申请人通过网上提交工作许可申请，申请人可以在其账户中查询申请状态。如果申请人通过纸质方式邮寄递交申请，可以将该申请链接到移民局在线账户链接到移民局在线账户查询状态。

If you submitted an online work permit application, you may check the status through your online account. If you submitted a paper-based application, you may check the status by linking it to an online IRCC account.

工作许可拒签常见理由 Reasons a work permit application is refused

工作许可被拒的结果对很多申请人而言是毁灭性的，拒签可能存在诸多原因。如果申请人不清楚工签被拒的原因，可以申请全球申请案件管理系统笔记 GCMS-Notes（俗称“调档”）了解具体拒签理由。以便在递交新的申请前完善改进解决签证官的担忧。以下罗列了一些常见的工作许可拒签原因：

  • 签证官不相信申请有能力充分履行工作职责；
  • 签证官不相信申请人会在工作许可到期后离境返回自己的祖国；
  • 申请人不符合申请工作许可的基本条件。

Receiving a work permit refusal can be devasting. There are many reasons a work permit can be refused. If it is unclear why your application was refused, applying for GCMS notes may help get a better idea, and can help address the officer’s concerns if you decide to reapply. Here are some common reasons for a work permit refusal:

  • The officer was not convinced that you could adequately perform your intended work;
  • The officer was not convinced that you would return to your home country at the end of your authorized stay in Canada;
  • You do not meet the criteria for the work permit you applied for

配偶及子女可否包含在工签申请中 How can I include my spouse and dependents on my work permit application?

如果申请人递交加拿大封闭式工作许可申请，其配偶可能有资格申请开放式工作许可，又称“配偶工签”。如果申请人的配偶符合条件，他们需要单独递交工作许可申请。一般情况下，此类配偶工签的申请需要在网上递交。

If you are applying for a closed Canadian work permit, your spouse may be eligible for an open work permit. If your spouse is eligible, they will need to apply for their own work permit. In most cases, they must apply for this permit online.

如何激活工作许可 How do I activate my work permit?

激活工作许可的方式，取决于递交申请的地点以及递交方式。

加拿大境内申请获批后激活方式

在加拿大境内递交的工作许可获批后，申请人将收到来自移民局的批准信。如果通过网上方式递交申请，批准信将出现在申请人的账户中。如果通过纸质方式提交申请，批准信会被邮寄到申请人的邮寄地址。无论通过那种方式收到批准信，工作许可将通过邮寄方式送达。工作许可送达时即已被激活，申请人可凭此文件在加拿大合法工作。

加拿大境外申请获批后激活方式

在加拿大境外递交的工作许可获批后，申请人会收到一封关于如何在加拿大入境口岸获得工作许可的说明信。如果通过网上方式递交申请，该说明会显示在申请人的账户中。如果通过纸质方式提交申请，该说明会被邮寄到申请人的邮寄地址。

在入境口岸申请获批后激活方式

某些申请人可能有资格在加拿大入境口岸申请工作许可，申请时需携带必要证明文件。如获批准，边管人员可以现场打印功工作许可，且立即生效。

How you activate your work permit will depend on where you are applying from and how you are applying.

Activating your work permit after applying from within Canada

If your application is approved after applying for a work permit from within Canada, you will receive an approval letter from IRCC. In the case that you applied online; the approval letter will appear in your account. If you submitted a paper-based application, the letter would arrive at your mailing address. Once you have received your approval letter, your physical work permit will arrive by mail. The permit will arrive already activated and you can use it to work in Canada.

Activating your work permit after applying from outside Canada

If your application is approved after applying from outside of Canada, you will receive a letter with instructions on how to obtain your physical work permit at the Canadian port of entry (POE). In the case that you applied online; the instruction letter will appear on your online account. If you applied on paper, you would receive the letter to your mailing address.

Activating your work permit after applying from the port of entry

Certain applicants may be eligible to apply for a work permit at the port of entry to Canada. If you are applying for a work permit at the border, you will need to bring documents that support your eligibility. If approved, the officer may print the work permit right away at the border. This work permit can be used right away.

Working in Canada has many benefits. Canadian labour laws ensure that workplaces have a high-degree of safety and that all employers follow certain laws and regulations to ensure the well-being of their employees. As well, Canadian wages are competitive and foreign nationals are required, by law, to be offered wages equivalent to their Canadian counterparts.

Finally, some Canadian work permits enable the spouse and children of workers to accompany them to Canada. Another significant benefit for those interested in immigrating to Canada permanently is that by gaining Canadian work experience, a foreign national may increase their eligibility for a number of Canadian permanent residency programs. The following programs award value, in varying degrees, for Canadian work experience:

如何延期工作许可 How can I extend my work permit?

通常而言，外籍劳工需要通过网上递交的方式延长工作许可。一般而言，我们建议申请人在工作许可到期前至少提前30天递交延期申请。这只是从实操层面给出的建议，技术角度而言申请人可以在工作许可到期前的最后一天递交延期申请。

联系我们了解您是否有资格延长工作许可，以及更多工作许可延期途径与方式。

Generally, temporary foreign workers that are eligible to extend their work permit must apply online.  If you plan to extend your work permit, it is recommended to do so at least 30 days before the expiry date of your current permit.   While this is a recommendation, technically an applicant has until the last day of expiry to apply for the extension request.

Contact us to learn more about whether you are eligible to extend your work permit.

如何查询工作许可号码 What is my work permit number?

工作许可右上角以字母“U”开头的字符串，即是加拿大工作许可号码。

You can find your work permit number on the top righthand corner of your permit and begins with the letter “U”.

没有工作许可是否可以就业 Can I work in Canada without a work permit?

除个别例外情况，外籍人士需要获批工作许可才能在加拿大境内从事工作。

Foreign nationals must obtain a work permit to work in Canada with few exceptions.

没有工作机会可否申请工签 Can I get a Canadian work permit without a job offer?

希望在加拿大就业的外籍人士通常需要获得加拿大雇主的书面工作录用，才有资格申请工作许可。然而在某些情况下，外籍人士可以在没有工作录用的情况下申请开放式工作许可，他们即被授权可以在加拿大任何地方、为任何雇主工作。

Foreign nationals interested in working in Canada usually require a written job offer from a Canadian employer to apply for a work permit. However, there are some circumstances that allow foreign workers to apply for an open work permit without a job offer, which allows them to work anywhere in Canada, for any employer.

工作许可是否有年龄限制 Do Canadian work permits have an age limit?

外籍人士只有年满18周岁才有资格获批加拿大工作许可。除通过加拿大国际体验计划申请工作许可外，一般情况下申请加拿大工作许可没有年龄上限。

Foreign workers must be at least 18 to obtain a Canadian work permit. There is no maximum age for work permit applicants unless applying under the International Experience Canada (IEC) program.

在加拿大工作期间是否可以申请健康保险 Can I apply for Canadian health insurance while on a work permit?

加拿大的健康保险，由各省和地区独立管理，各省和地区自行实施健保计划。某些省份允许工签持有人申请省级医疗保险。大多数省份则要求申请人在省内居住或工作满一定天数，才有资格申请省级医疗保险。

Health care in Canada is administrated by each province and territory, which operate their own insurance plan. Certain provinces allow work permit holders to apply for provincial health insurance coverage. Most provinces require residents to be physically present for a certain number of days before becoming eligible for health insurance.

工作许可与签证的区别 What is the difference between a work permit and a work visa?

加拿大工作许可，俗称“大签”，授权外籍人士可以在加拿大境内从事有偿工作；而签证是用于入境加拿大的旅行证件。签证或临时居民签证，俗称“小签”，是贴在护照上的贴纸；作为旅行证件授权外国公民入境加拿大或途径加拿大机场过境。

如果从加拿大离境，在没有有效签证或电子旅行证的情况下，即使持有有效工作许可也不能再次入境加拿大。

A Canadian work permit authorizes foreign nationals to work in Canada, whereas a visa is a travel document that is used to enter the country. A visa, or, temporary resident visa (TRV), is a physical sticker placed in your passport that acts as a travel document, allowing foreign nationals to enter Canada or transit through a Canadian airport.

If you leave Canada, you cannot return without a valid visa or eTA, even if you have a valid work permit.

申请工作许可是否需要考雅思 Do I need IELTS to apply for a Canadian work permit?

加拿大不要求工作许可申请人参加诸如雅思等英语或法语标准化考试。然而，如果工作录用函特别标注申请人需要掌握英语或法语，且申请人来自非英语或法语国家；那么签证官可能会要求申请人提交诸如语言标化考试成绩等的语言能力证明。

Canada does not require individuals applying for a work permit to write the IELTS or any other English or French language exam. However, if the job offer specifically requires French and/or English skills, and the applicant is from a non-French or English country, evidence of language abilities such as a language test could be required by the officer.

工作许可的有效期 How long are Canadian work permits valid?

通常情况下，加拿大工作许可有效期为1-2年，但也有些例外。签证官在签发工作许可时，有效期一般不会超过申请人护照的有效期、不会超过申请人劳动力影响评估批文上所显示的有效期、不会超过外籍人士申请在加拿大停留的时间，也不会超过工作录用函所标注的时间。根据申请人所申请项目类别的不同，工作许可有效期也可能更短。

Canadian work permits are typically valid for a period of 1-2 years, with some exceptions. A visa officer will usually not issue a work permit for longer than the validity of an applicant’s passport or past the validity indicated on the applicant’s Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). A work permit will also not be issued for longer than the foreign national has applied to stay in Canada for, or beyond the duration that is required for the job offer. The length of a work permit may also be shorter depending on the program the applicant is applying under.

是否需要工签才能入境加拿大 Do I need my Canadian work permit to enter Canada?

如果工签持有人前往加拿大境外旅行，返程时除出示有效旅行证件外，还需提供工作许可才能重新入境加拿大。工作许可允许外籍人士在加拿大从事工作，但不能单独用作入境加拿大的法律文件。入境加拿大除需提供有效护照外，还需持有临时居民签证或电子旅行证。

If you travel outside of Canada, you will need your work permit in addition to a valid travel document to re-enter. A work permit allows you to work in Canada, but alone does not permit you to travel to Canada. To come to Canada, you will need either a temporary resident visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), in addition to a valid passport.

雇主能否担保雇员在加拿大工作 Can my employer sponsor me to work in Canada?

加拿大雇主不能“担保”雇员前往加拿大工作，但是可以通过获得劳动力市场影响评估 LMIA 或提交电子工作邀请协助加拿大劳动力市场引入外籍劳工。加拿大要求任何希望聘用外籍人士的加拿大雇主必须获得劳动力市场影响评估批文，或提交电子工作邀请。一旦获批 LMIA 或电子工作录用，雇员即可以此申请加拿大工作许可。

work in Canada but can assist in bringing foreign workers by securing a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or submitting an electronic job offer (LMIA exempted categories).

Canada requires that any Canadian employer who wishes to hire a foreign worker must obtain an LMIA or submit an electronic job offer. Once an employer secures an LMIA or the “A” number (electronic job offer), it can be used to apply for a Canadian work permit.
