The main advantage of a Canada work visa is that it takes you quickly and, in some cases, you can bring your spouse (and dependent children) and be entitled to an open work permit so they can look for a job in any occupation wishing.

The disadvantage of a Canada work visa:

The disadvantage of a Canada work visa is that it is usually offered for a specific position and if you want to change the title or employer, you need to apply for a new work permit and must be approved. Another important thing to keep in mind about a Canadian work permit is that, by definition, it is temporary and will have an attached expiration date.

Although the renewal of the work permit may be possible, a work permit alone will not guarantee you a permanent status in Canada. With that said, a Canadian work permit can open many doors to the permanent Canadian residence that are not available to people without Canadian experience.

General description of the types of work permits available:

It is important to keep in mind that most Canadian work permits require what is called an impact assessment in the labor market (LMIA). A LMIA is a request from the Canadian employer (or prepared on his behalf by a legal representative) to Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) / Canada Service to bring a foreign worker to Canada. Ultimately, it is up to HRSDC / Service Canada to determine whether hiring a foreign worker would have a positive or negative impact on the Canadian labor market.

Evaluate a number of factors, but the main aspect they consider is whether there is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident eligible to cover the position.

Do I need a Canadian work visa?

Your first priority should be to find out if you need a work permit. In some cases, depending on your nationality and the role you will take, a permit may not be necessary.

If you are going to Canada as a business visitor for a short period, or if you are an artist, a member of the clergy or the judiciary, for example, you may not need a visa to work legally.

It is worth reading the fine print when it comes to visa options. The Diverse immigration services website has a form where you can enter the work you want to do and some personal details and quickly inform you if you need a work visa.
