  Most U.S. citizens require a work permit to work in Canada . There are two types of work permits in Canada. The first category includes Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs). The federal government of Canada uses the LMIA to determine how hiring foreign workers affects the wages and employment of Canadian workers. Some job offers require an LMIA, so employers in Canada must apply to the federal government for and obtain a positive or neutral LMIA before hiring foreign workers. The second category does not require an LMIA. Due to Canada's economic and social interests, this category does not require an LMIA. For example, U.S. citizens may be eligible for LMIA-exempt work authorization under the United States-Canada-Mexico Agreement (USMCA). U.S. citizens can work in Canada under NAFTA if they have a vacancy with a current or new employer, or if they wish to make a significant investment or trade in Canada. The type of work permit you need depends on the type of work you w

These immigrants are granted permanent resident status because of their relationship to their spouse, partner, parent, grandparent, child or other relative.

  Last week, B.C. and Alberta announced the results of new draws for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Most Canadian provinces and territories (except Quebec and Nunavut) have their own PNPs. Through these programs, interested candidates may be invited to apply for provincial nomination.

For example, a nominated PNP candidate with an Express Entry profile will receive an additional 600 points. You may also be invited to apply for specific PNP invitation rounds. In the final Express Entry draw on June 22, Canada invited 636 PNP candidates to enter with at least 752 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points.
