All About Significant Benefit Work Permits

What is a Significant Benefit Work Permit?

Do you have an interesting business idea, or are an entrepreneur who thinks they have a business idea which could be beneficial to Canadians, then the Canadian government has the program for you! Assuming you as well have an interest in doing business in Canada, the Canadian government is willing to permit you to work in Canada for quite an extended period of time, provided they determine you qualify for this unique type of work permit. I am talking about a significant benefit work permit (SBWP). As it sounds, the significant benefit work permit is available to foreign nationals who are presumed to be a significant benefit to Canadian society. As such, there is a fairly tough evaluation process behind granting individuals a SBWP. Not to worry though, Akrami and Associates is here to help you understand if you could apply for a SBWP, and how to go about doing this.

Who Can Apply for A Significant Benefit Work Permit?

Well, as I briefly mentioned, you must be in a position to bring business to Canada which is of significant benefit either socially, economically, or culturally. As such, you must be able to plan and outline what you intend to contribute to Canada, how this is going to benefit Canada, and how you are going to be successful in creating and maintaining your endeavors. This may not sound like much, but it is much more complicated that drawing up a pipedream plan and hoping a Canadian immigration officer appreciates the sound of the idea. You must make an immigration officer feel confident that you have a good, beneficial idea, and the means to achieve this idea in all likelihood. The importance of your business plan should not be underestimated. It is by far the most influential aspect of this type of application. Furthermore, you must be admissible to Canada. This means you cannot be criminally inadmissible, medically inadmissible, inadmissible due to prior misrepresentation, or any other reason.

Hire a Temporary Foreign Worker Through the Global Talent Stream

What is the Global Talent Stream?

The Global Talent Stream is a fairly new program, which began in 2017 as a pilot project to test new ways to help Canadian businesses grow and innovate to the best of their abilities. Recognizing the need for highly skilled workers in certain positions, in combination with a low availability of Canadian workers who are trained and capable of doing the job, the Canadian government launched the Global Talent Stream for Temporary Foreign Workers Program. This program boasts low processing times for applications, one of the largest of many benefits of this program. So, if you are an employer looking to fill a position which requires advanced knowledge and special skills, you may be eligible to apply to hire a temporary foreign worker through the global talent stream.

What Do Employers Need to Know About Hiring a Foreign Worker Through GTS?

There are a variety of requirement an employer must comply with to be eligible to hire a temporary foreign worker through the global talent stream. To give a brief overview of what the Global Talent Stream requires, there are special requirements for both Category A and B of the global talent stream. Both the position you are hiring for, and the individual you wish to hire must meet all the conditions under either Category A or B, to enter the application process successfully. Then, the employer must show in their application for an Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) and request to hire through the global talent stream that the business and job offer must be legitimate, so that the individual they wish to hire can then apply for a work permit through the global talent stream, and enter as a temporary foreign worker.
