On this page, you will find general information and useful resources to guide you through the options that are available to foreign candidates. If you want to come to Canada but have not yet applied for an immigration program or a work permit, visit Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to get started. If you have already started the process to immigrate to Canada or to get a work permit, you can search for jobs from employers who are recruiting foreign candidates.
If you want to immigrate to Canada, start by learning about the different programs you can apply for. Each immigration program has different application and eligibility requirements.
If you have a lot of work experience or training in a specific field, you could be eligible to apply through Express Entry.
Express Entry allows highly skilled workers to apply for multiple immigration programs at once, resulting in faster processing times.
If you are not eligible to immigrate to Canada permanently, you might still be able to work here temporarily. In that case, you usually need a work permit.
Before applying to jobs in Canada, you need to find out if you are eligible to get a work permit.
