An open work permit is a work permit that is not job-specific. Because it is not job-specific, you will not need the following when you apply for your work permit:
- a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada; or
- proof that an employer has submitted an offer of employment through the Employer Portal and paid the employer compliance fee
Below are the categories of few open-work permits:
- Post Graduate Work Permit
- Open Spousal Work Permit
- International Experience Canada program
