Converting Visitor Visa to Work Visa

Converting Visitor Visa to Work Visa? Here's How to Stay and Work Legally!

Introduction:

So, you're in Canada on a visitor visa and stumbled upon an amazing job opportunity! Don't worry, you can still chase that dream career. Here's a simplified guide to convert your visitor visa to a work permit:


Step 1: Score That Job Offer! (We know, exciting!)

First things first, find a Canadian employer who wants to hire you. Look through online job boards, network with people in your field, or explore recruitment agencies. Make sure the job offer clearly outlines everything.

Step 2: Labour Market Check (LMIA): (Not always needed!)

Most employers will need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to prove hiring you won't take away jobs from Canadians. But some jobs, like caregivers, are exempt from this step.

Step 3: Apply for Your Work Permit: (Let's get official!)

Once you have the LMIA (or just the job offer if exempt), apply for a work permit online through a secure government account.

Step-by-Step Guide to the Student Visa Application Process:

✸ Your job offer letter

✸ LMIA (if required)

✸ Proof you're legally visiting Canada

✸ Application forms (don't worry, it's not too complicated).

✸ Valid passport

✸ Photos (think passport size)

✸ Proof you have enough money to support yourself

✸ Medical exam (might be needed, depending)

✸ Application fees (around CAD $240)

Full Guide and Processing Time: (Check for updates!)

Head over to the official Canadian immigration website (https://www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship.php) for the complete guide and current processing times (around 92 days).

Bonus Tip: Work While You Wait! (Don't lose momentum!)

The application process can take some time, but you might be eligible for "Interim Authorization to Work" from the government. This allows you to start working sooner with a job offer from your employer.


Remember: Don't work illegally! Follow these steps to make your dream job in Canada a reality, all above board. Good luck!
