Work permit and other queries

[karooma]

Dear All,

I'm a Specialist Physician and currently awaiting the outcome of my LMIA application; I am based in the UK

I have 2 questions, which I would appreciate if someone could help clarify please:

1. Does my employer need to provide me with a 'Job Contract' and a 'Job Offer Letter', I mean both or should one of them suffice in order for me to obtain a work permit?

2. Since the borders are currently shut, hence I wouldn't be able to obtain a Work Permit on landing at Toronto airport; how would I apply for a work permit? and what to do about biometrics etc.....

Apologies if any of these questions were answered elsewhere.

Many thanks in advance,

A

If ur in the healthcare sector. Think you will be exempt from travel restrictions. And ur app will be prioritized as well.

Thanks for getting back to me, Do you mean that my application could be processed at the Toronto Airport?

No - it doesn't mean that. You apply for a work permit online once the LMIA is approved. (Unless of course the border restrictions are no longer in place once your LMIA is approved.)

Thank you for your response; I wonder how long it would take though...

It's super hard to say unfortunately because pretty much all application processing has been impacted by COVID-19.

Thanks, so maybe its better to wait until the borders are open and then obtain it at the airport
