You're a repair or maintenance worker for industrial or commercial equipment
Based on your answer, you may be eligible for an employer-specific work permit if
- you need to enter Canada to make emergency repairs to industrial equipment or repairs to out-of-warranty equipment
- failure to complete these repairs could result in a disruption of employment for Canadians, and
- you meet the general eligibility requirements for a work permit
Before you submit your work permit application, your employer must
- submit an offer of employment to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
- pay a $230 employer compliance fee
- provide you with an offer of employment number
Note: When you complete your work permit application, select “Exemption from Labour Market Impact Assessment” as the type of work permit in the “Details of intended work in Canada” section.
