Work Permit

Canada welcomes thousands of international workers, entrepreneurs, and investors every year through a variety of work permit programs. Whether you are seeking to start your own business in Canada or gain Canadian work experience to support a future immigration application, Alyar Business Planners supports you with professional guidance and planning.

Investor & Owner–Operator Work Permits

This pathway is designed for individuals who wish to purchase or open a business in Canada and obtain a work permit as the majority owner. The business must be active, employ Canadian workers, and demonstrate clear economic benefit. Successful applicants can transition later to permanent residence through Express Entry or a provincial nominee program.

Buy or create a company in Canada
Obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) as an Owner–Operator
Receive a temporary work permit as the business operator
Gain Canadian work experience to increase CRS score for PR

General Canadian Work Permits

Foreign nationals may also obtain work permits through job offers from Canadian employers, spousal open work permits, or post–graduation work permits.

LMIA-Supported Employer Work Permit – requires a Canadian company to sponsor you by demonstrating they cannot find a local Canadian citizen or permanent resident for the role.
Open Work Permit – available in special cases such as spouses of international students or skilled workers, allowing you to work for any employer in Canada.
Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) – issued to international students who graduate from Canadian institutions, allowing up to 3 years of open work.
