Common Questions
Work permit questions Toronto clients often ask.
Which work permit category should Toronto clients use?
The right category depends on the job, employer, applicant status, family facts, qualifications, and current IRCC rules.
Can a prior refusal affect a new work permit?
It can. The refusal reasons and new evidence should be reviewed before filing again.
Does every Toronto employer need an LMIA?
No. Some work permits are LMIA-exempt or open, but the correct category depends on the facts.
