The main difference is in what they are and how they are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Work Permit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Meaning: It is a paper from the Canadian government. It gives a foreign person permission to work in Canada.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type: It is a permit, not a visa.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kinds:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sugimotovisa.com\/en\/immigrate-to-canada\/work\/open-work-permit\/\">Open Work Permit<\/a>: You can work for any employer in Canada.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Closed (Employer-Specific) Work Permit: You can work only for one employer, in one job, in one place, for a set time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Work Visa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Meaning: It is a stamp or sticker in the passport.

It is only for working inside Canada.

Immigration rules can feel heavy. But don\u2019t worry, you don\u2019t need to be an expert. That\u2019s why immigration companies like SugimotoVisa are here: to guide, explain, and make the process clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re dreaming of living and working in Canada, this small paper called the Work Permit is your first key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-types-of-work-permits-in-canada\">Types of Work Permits in Canada<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we talk about work permits in Canada, there are two main programs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-568886f306af03dd5843b46bc1fca1ef wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#00965f\"><strong>Requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sugimotovisa.com\/en\/immigrate-to-canada\/work\/temporary-foreign-worker-program\/\">Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facilitated LMIA (Quebec)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sugimotovisa.com\/en\/immigrate-to-canada\/work\/global-talent-stream\/\">Global Talent Stream<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d951a2909b182118a4a20d63cd949355 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#00965f\"><strong>Open Work Permits (no job offer or LMIA required)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sugimotovisa.com\/en\/immigrate-to-canada\/work\/post-graduate-work-permit\/\">Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sugimotovisa.com\/en\/immigrate-to-canada\/work\/spousal-open-work-permit\/\">Spousal Sponsorship from Inside of Canada<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sugimotovisa.com\/en\/immigrate-to-canada\/work\/international-experience-canada\/\">International Experience Canada (IEC)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sugimotovisa.com\/en\/immigrate-to-canada\/work\/bridging-open-work-permit\/\">Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spouse Accompanying International Student or Worker<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e54492853fa19cf7210a14dc7b25e6df wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#00965f\"><strong>LMIA-Exempt but requiring a job offer or employment contract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sugimotovisa.com\/en\/immigrate-to-canada\/work\/international-mobility-program\/\">International Mobility Program (IMP)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NAFTA Work Permits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CETA Work Permits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intra-Company Transfers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-radius:10px;background-color:#f9f9fc;padding-top:20px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:20px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/sugimotovisa.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/step-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1287\" style=\"width:50px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.
