Searching job in a new country can be a bewildering
experience. Many things will be different from your past experience. Sometimes
you can feel perplexed and anxious. When one gets an opportunity to live and work in Canada permanently so this
choice should be based on sheer and precise knowledge obtained from official
sources. It helps to obtain plenty of information so that you’re better
prepared for settling into work.
A work permit holder does not get certain rights relished by
permanent residents so let us make things easier for you to understand better
through comparisons.
DURATION OF STAY
·
Work permit holders can stay in Canada temporarily for up to 4
years.
·
Permanent residence allows an applicant to stay in Canada
permanently.
AUTHORITY TO WORK

Work permit holders are bound to work with the same employer for
a certain time.
·
PR visa status holder has authority to work with any employer.
EDUCATION BENEFITS
·
A work permit holder and his family pay 2.5 times more school
and college fees as foreign nationals.
·

opportunity to avail free education up to grade 12 and thereafter the domestic
college or university fee is 2.5 times less than the fees offered to
international students.

PENSION BENEFITS
Canada provides pension benefits to the citizens after the age of 65
apart from his pension from work. The Canadian pension is nearly between $1000
and $1500 per head. This benefit is not given to work permit holder.
UNEMPLOYMENT
AND SOCIAL INSURANCE BENEFITS
The
government also provides Unemployment Insurance (UI) for 6 months to the
individuals who are unable to find a new employment after leaving their last
job. These benefits are only given to permanent residency holders and citizens
of Canada.
PROCESS OF
OBTAINING THE VISA
In
order to obtain a Canada work permit,
an aspirant must have an employment offer letter from a Canadian employer which
must be approved by the Canadian Government’s Human resource department. It is
not the easy task to secure the job offer from Canada while an applicant is
sitting in India. Moreover, it is not feasible to get that job offer ratified
by the government of Canada if your employer is not able to indicate that there
is a dearth of skilled workers in that region.
In
order to get Canada Permanent Residency,
an applicant doesn’t require any job offer, if his expertise falls in the list
of “occupations in demand”. Every year, then you can lodge an application; the
Canadian Immigration department issues the list of occupations in demand under
Federal Skilled Worker program and under Federal Skilled Trade Program.
PROCEDURE
The process of acquiring a work
permit is very extortionate and more complicated than the procedure of
obtaining a Permanent resident status and the benefits of a work permit are very little in comparison
to permanent residence.
- Processing time
- Processing time for the work permit is generally 6 months
- Processing time for Permanent residency application is generally a year.
