Closed Work Permit (Employer-Specific Work Permit) Application

Canada offers countless opportunities for skilled workers — and a Closed Work Permit can be your first step toward building a career here.

Closed Work Permit (Employer-Specific Work Permit) Application

Unlike an open work permit, a closed permit ties you to a specific employer, role, and location, giving you the chance to contribute your skills while gaining Canadian work experience.
