Urgent Warning!: As of February, 10 2025 there are likely no viable routes to gain Refugee/Asylum status for current U.S. Citizens. If you attempt to make a refugee/ asylum claim at the border and you don't qualify for any of these exceptions to the satisfaction of a border official, you will lose your ability to make a claim PERMANENTLY. Please, consult an immigration lawyer before making an asylum claim, there is a high bar for documentation required to make these claims and it should not be considered a viable option in most cases. Much of the sections in the Refugee/Asylum, Visa, and other sections have not yet been filled. We are working diligently to update all sections with viable, accurate, and citable information that you can trust. We understand the gravity and dangers in attempting to immigrate with incorrect information and we will continue to fill in with all current, and up to date information with that in mind

Overview
- If you are looking to move quickly into Canada, and you don't have family or are a student, a work visa is probably your safest bet.
- As the title indicates, Work Visas allow foreign nationals to reside in Canada to work. Under which you would apply under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) or the International Mobility Program (IMP). The nature of your work will determine your eligibility for permit types under either program.
- A permit under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMAI) that proves that there is a need for foreign workers for that line of work and that there are no local citizen workers available for the job.
- A permit under the International Mobility Program does not require a positive LMAI but does require a submission of an employment offer in the employers portal.
- There are two types of work Permits:
- Employer Specific Work Permits
- Open Work Permits
Open Work Permit
This type of work permit might be the most immediately appealing for quick entry into Canada, but is subject to specific eligibility requirements.
Employer Specific Work Permits
This type of work permit might be the most secure method for quick entry into Canada under a work visa if you can secure an offer of employment from a prospective employer.
