1. Job Offer: The first step is to secure a valid job offer from a Canadian employer. In most cases, your employer will need to obtain a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), which demonstrates that there are no qualified Canadian workers available to fill the position.
2. Employer’s Role: Your Canadian employer will play a significant role in the application process. They may need to submit various documents and information to support your work permit application.
3. Temporary Resident Visa (TRV): Depending on your citizenship, you may also need to apply for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to enter Canada. Bangladesh citizens typically require a TRV.
4. Work Permit Application: You can apply for a work permit online or through a VAC (Visa Application Centre) in your region. You will need to complete the appropriate application forms, provide necessary documents (e.g., job offer letter, LMIA, passport), and pay the required fees.
5. Biometrics and Medical Exam: You may be required to provide biometrics and undergo a medical examination as part of the application process. Check the specific requirements for your situation.
6. Processing Time: Processing times for work permit applications can vary. You should check the current processing times on the official website.
7. Travel to Canada: Once your work permit is approved, you can travel to Canada to work for the specified employer.

Please note that some work permits are exempt from the LMIA requirement, such as those under international agreements like NAFTA (now USMCA) or through certain provincial nominee programs. Additionally, there are different types of work permits, such as open work permits and employer-specific work permits.

It’s crucial to consult the official website of the Government of Canada or seek advice from a qualified immigration consultant or attorney for the most accurate and up-to-date information on work permit requirements and procedures, as immigration policies can change over time.
