FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What is the difference between a Work Permit and Permanent Residency (PR)?

    A Work Permit grants temporary authorization to work in Canada for a specific employer, position, and duration. Permanent Residency grants the right to live, work, and study anywhere in Canada indefinitely, confers most rights of citizens (except voting/holding some high-security jobs), and is a pathway to citizenship. PR status requires meeting residency obligations.

  • Is a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) always required for a work permit?

    No. While many work permits require an LMIA (proving no Canadian worker is available), there are numerous significant LMIA exemptions, particularly under international agreements (like CETA, CUSMA/USMCA), for Intra-Company Transferees (ICTs), and certain skilled worker categories where Canada has identified needs. Assessing exemption eligibility is a key first step.

  • How long does the Canadian immigration process typically take?

    Processing times vary significantly depending on the immigration stream, country of application, application completeness, and current IRCC backlogs. Temporary work permits might take weeks to months. Express Entry PR processing aims for 6 months post-ITA, but PNPs and other streams can take longer (12-24+ months). We provide current estimates based on the specific pathway.

  • Can my family accompany me if I get a Canadian work permit or PR?

    Generally, yes. Spouses or common-law partners of most skilled work permit holders may be eligible for an open work permit. Dependent children can typically obtain study permits or visitor records. For PR applicants, accompanying family members are usually included in the main application and must also meet admissibility requirements (health, security).

  • What are the main factors considered in the Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)?

    Key factors include: Age, Level of Education (including Canadian credentials), Language Proficiency (English/French - crucial points), Work Experience (Canadian and foreign), Arranged Employment (job offer - significant points), Provincial Nomination (very high points), and adaptability factors (e.g., spouse's skills, Canadian siblings). Maximizing points across these areas is critical for receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

  • Does InterGest guarantee immigration approval?

    No reputable consultant can guarantee approval, as the final decision rests solely with Canadian immigration authorities (IRCC). However, InterGest guarantees meticulous preparation, strategic positioning, adherence to all legal requirements, and expert navigation of the process based on deep experience. Our role is to maximize your chances of success by ensuring a complete, accurate, and compelling application based on current law and policy.
