Find a Job Offer

Most unskilled worker visas require a job offer from an employer who is willing to sponsor your visa application. You may search for jobs in sectors such as agriculture, hospitality, construction, or manufacturing on international job boards or through recruitment agencies.

Employer Sponsorship and LMIA (Labor Market Impact Assessment)

In many countries, employers must demonstrate to the government that hiring a foreign worker won’t negatively impact the local labor market. This is usually done by applying for an LMIA (or its equivalent). In the case of Canada, the employer needs an LMIA to prove that the job cannot be filled by local workers.
