How to get fully funded Canada work visa from home?

To get a fully funded working visa (i.e., a job offer with visa sponsorship) directly from India to Canada, you need to follow these steps:

1. Understand the Work Visa Types

The most relevant for you is:

Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)

Allows Canadian employers to hire foreign nationals for jobs when qualified Canadians aren’t available.

Other options:

• International Mobility Program (IMP) – For employer-specific jobs not requiring LMIA.

• Express Entry (for permanent residency, not temporary work)

2. Get a Job Offer from a Canadian Employer

You must find an employer who:

• Is willing to sponsor your visa

• Can get a positive LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) if applying under TFWP

Use platforms like:

• Job Bank Canada

• Indeed Canada

• Workopolis

• LinkedIn

Search with filters:

???? “Visa sponsorship”

???? “Foreign workers welcome”

???? “LMIA jobs”

3. Employer Applies for LMIA (if required)

• The employer must get approval from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).

• LMIA proves that hiring you won’t negatively affect the local job market.

4. Apply for the Work Permit

Once you receive:

• A job offer

• Positive LMIA (if needed)

You apply for a Canadian work permit via IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada).

Apply online at IRCC

5. Required Documents

• Valid passport

• Job offer letter

• LMIA (if applicable)

• Proof of qualifications and experience

• Police clearance certificate

• Medical exam (if required)

Note:

There is no ""fully funded"" government-sponsored work visa. What you can get is:

• A job where the employer pays for your visa fees, relocation, and flight (some do).

• You must still meet visa and immigration criteria set by IRCC.

Tips to Improve Your Chances:

• Apply in in-demand occupations (e.g. IT, trucking, healthcare, trades).

• Improve your LinkedIn profile to attract Canadian recruiters.

• Join Canada job forums and Telegram groups for LMIA jobs.
