Who can apply as a worker in Canada?

To apply for a work permit you must submit the following documents:
- a job offer from a Canadian employer
- a completed application, showing that you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations
- written confirmation from Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC) that the employer can hire a foreign worker to fill the job. This confirmation is called a positive labour market opinion (LMO)
Note: In some cases, you do not need a labour market opinion.

You must also do the following:

• Satisfy a visa officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your work permit.
• Show that you have enough money to support yourself while you are in Canada.
• Respect the law and have no criminal record.
• A medical examination
