Hello!

Im a little confused about how coming to Canada as a foreign worker happens. I am actually Canadian and am asking for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law

My husbands brother, Albanian Citizen, is currently living in Greece with his wife who is a Bulgarian citizen and their toddler child. He is a stone mason and she has worked as a housekeeper, administrative assistant, waitress, nanny etc.

In order to come to Canada to work they both need to find employers willing to sponsor them? Or can 1 find a willing employer and claim the spouse and child as dependants? How exactly does it work when you are trying to get a small family to Canada to work? Do they apply separately or together? Are there different variations of work permits? I have read both about work permits and open work permits but cant find information on cic.gc.ca about open work permits.

Any information anyone is able to give me would be greatly appreciated.
Katie
