Yes, Canada offers several pathways to obtain a work permit without high application fees. Here are the main options available:
🇨🇦 1. International Experience Canada (IEC)
The IEC program allows young professionals from participating countries to work in Canada on an open work permit. Recent updates have streamlined the process, enabling applicants to apply online without the need to leave Canada. This initiative aims to simplify the procedure and reduce the inconvenience for international participants already within the country. (Nursing Abroad, @EconomicTimes)
🏞️ 2. Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP)
The RNIP helps foreign skilled workers obtain a work permit and immigrate to rural communities in Canada facing labor shortages. Applicants must secure a job offer from an eligible employer in a participating community. The job offer does not require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), making the process easier. Once approved, applicants can move with their family to rural Canada, work for their employer while on an open work permit, and eventually apply for permanent residence. (Nursing Abroad)
🌐 3. International Mobility Program (IMP)
The IMP allows Canadian employers to hire foreign workers without an LMIA under certain conditions. Some categories include intra-company transfers, NAFTA professionals, and French-speaking skilled workers outside of Quebec. The IMP eliminates the need for a complex LMIA process, making it easier and often free for foreign nationals to work in Canada. (royalimmigrations.com)
🧑⚕️ 4. Home Child Care Provider Pilot
This pilot program allows caregivers to work in Canada while offering them a path to permanent residency after gaining sufficient work experience. It is beneficial for those interested in caregiving or nanny jobs, as it comes with visa sponsorship and the possibility of free visa processing. (royalimmigrations.com)
🏢 5. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
The PNP allows provinces to nominate candidates for permanent residency based on their skills and job offers in particular industries. Some provinces, like Ontario and British Columbia, prioritize applicants with job offers in high-demand sectors, and employers may waive or cover visa fees. (royalimmigrations.com)
