CURRENT PROCESSING TIME FROM INDIA IS :
14 WEEKS
WORK PERMIT WHILE YOU ARE IN CANADA ON TOURIST VISA: Yes, you can apply work permit while you are in Canada on Tourist Visa. It is very simple process but may take 2 to 3 months.
PROCEDURE:
1. You need an Canadian employer who can offer
you a permanent job in his/her company. The
job should be in NOC 0,A,B category. So that you
can apply for permanent residency also.
2. Once you got the job offer, then the next step is that your employer has to get that job offer
approved from ESDC DEPARTMENT IN CANADA.
Which is know as LMIA(Labour market impact
assessment) which mostly takes 2 to 3 weeks.
LMIA fees is 1000c$. But before that your
employer has to give newspaper ads for the
vacancy. which almost take 15 days to 30 days
period. Employer has to show that he is not able
to find any other suitable person.
3. After getting your Positive LMIA Approval, you
have 2 options to get your work permit
VIA ONLINE
VIA BORDER BASE
4. I always prefer the border base because it
contains less time and the chances of approval
are 95%.You have to just pay the fee(155$) and
you can get your work permit on the spot.
5. After that just prepare for your IELTS and WES
and submit your profile in the EXPRESS ENTRY
POOL for permanent residency.
OR
You can also go for provincial nominee
program(PNP) for your Canada permanent
residency.
6. After getting your work permit, you can invite
your spouse and children too on your behalf
after 3 months and your spouse will get an open
work permit and your children will get all the
study and medical benefits. But keep in mind
that your job is in NOC 0,A,B category.
If your job is in category C or D, then your chances of PERMANENT IMMIGRATION ARE NOT GUARANTEED.You
can get work permit for 2 years but if you want to be permanent then your job offer should be in NOC 0AB category.
For example: Farm worker which comes under category C and in this category you will never get permanent
residency unless you got promoted to supervisor.
But there is a good news for LONG HAUL TRUCK DRIVERS, they can apply permanent residency after 9 months onl;y in BRITISH COLUMBIA and after 2years in other
provinces.
