Six questions before choosing a pathway

Each answer includes practical steps. Revisit these topics when speaking with your support provider.

Start with your skills and timing that suits your family, rather than someone else’s progress. A job listing alone cannot establish eligibility to work or immigrate.

  • Prepare an accurate CV, evidence of experience, language level and previous application history.
  • Compare duties, location, occupational requirements and the applicable permit; identify any gaps.
  • Ask whoever assesses your situation to explain the basis and the preparation needed, including when postponing may be sensible.

Requirements can change. This guide helps you prepare questions; it does not determine an individual visa outcome.

Stay in control of each decision

Nobody can guarantee a visa

Work permits and visas are decided by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Be wary of any “guaranteed approval” promise.

Job availability changes

Openings and intake status change over time. All listings on our platform are verified for intake status before being opened for applications.

Ask about every cost

Ask what each fee is, who collects it, when, and the refund conditions. Ask for documentation for every payment.

Check the employer

Verify the business name, work location and related documents (such as an LMIA, if any) before proceeding.

Read the contract carefully

Read both the employment contract and any service contract. Ask someone fluent in English or legal matters for help if needed.

Know your rights

Foreign workers in Canada are protected by the same employment standards as Canadian workers, including minimum wage and hours of work.
