Assuming you're a Canadian citizen or a Canadian permanent resident, the process is simple. You find a company that's hiring, you submit your resume, attendant reviews when called, submit references when requested and then receive an offer if one is extended.
A valid job offer needs to be supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). The employer would need to apply for one before they can extend a job offer. Once they receive the LMIA, they need to provide you with a copy, together with the written job offer.
How to write a letter of employment: Include employer and requesting organisation details. Provide employee information (name, job title, employment dates). Follow a formal business letter format. Clearly state the letter's purpose. Include any additional requested details. Provide contact information and sign off.
For many jobs in Canada, particularly those involving foreign workers, an LMIA from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) or approval from IRCC is required. If the job offer mentions these documents, ask to see a copy. You can also contact ESDC or IRCC directly to verify the legitimacy of the documents.
Clearly state the job title and position being offered. Include the key details of the offer, such as salary, benefits and any additional compensation. Outline the start date and working hours, including full-time, part-time, contract or internship duration.
A job offer letter is a document that a Canadian employer gives you (as a temporary worker). It explains the details of your job. Generally, a job offer letter (or “employment letter”) is less detailed than a contract.
The job offer must be for a job that you are able to perform and are likely to accept and carry out the job duties. For NOC 2021 TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 category job offers, the employer must be offering you a job that will last at least 1 year from the time you become a permanent resident.
To determine whether an offer letter from a Canadian company is genuine, follow these steps: Check Company Information: - Verify the company's website and ensure it matches the details in the offer letter. - Look for contact information (phone number, email) and check if they are valid. Contact the Company:
- Ask for a formal offer letter on company letterhead, detailing the job role, salary, and terms of employment. Consult the Canadian Government: - Use resources from the Government of Canada's immigration website to check if the employer is registered and if the job offer is compliant with immigration laws.
If you wish to obtain a job offer from an employer in Canada, the best option is to immigrate on a Permanent Resident Visa. It makes you lawfully eligible for working in Canada.
