What Does a Canadian Work Visa Company Do?

A Canadian work visa company is typically a licensed immigration consultancy or recruitment agency that helps foreign workers:

1. Find jobs in Canada, and/or

2. Apply for a Canadian work permit or visa legally.

These companies assist with:

• Job matching with Canadian employers (some are authorized recruiters).

• Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) support – required for most employer-specific work permits.

• Work permit application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

• Documentation and paperwork guidance.

Trusted Canadian Work Visa Companies Usually:

• Are registered with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) – you can verify the consultant’s license at college-ic.ca.

• Work with Canadian employers actively hiring foreign workers.

• Do not charge illegal fees for job offers (this is a red flag).

• May also assist with permanent residency pathways, such as Express Entry or Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).

Beware of Fake Companies That:

• Offer “guaranteed jobs” for high fees.

• Ask for payment before providing proof of LMIA or job offer.

• Have no license or registration number.

• Communicate only through social media or fake websites.
