If you want to apply for a work permit, then you will have to apply for: "A work permit with labour market opinion"

Before you can apply for the work permit, you will first have to find an employer in Canada who is willing to offer you a job and that employer will then have to obtain an approved labour market opinion. You can't apply for a work permit until you have these two things.

Are you sure about this ? that I should apply with the option "A work permit with labour market opinion." Coz some of my far relatives have applied without getting the job and are into Canada now.

I am not sure whats this option for "A work permit under an international agreement" if you could help me on this its much appreciated.

As always your quick and correct responses kills all the ambiguities Keep well! take care.

With warm regards,

Yes - there are ways you can apply to immigrate to Canada without having a job offer in Canada first. However in this case you won't be applying for a work permit - you will be applying for permanent residency. These are two different things. In your first question you asked about applying for a work permit. If you want to apply for a work permit, you need a job offer in Canada and an approve labour market opinion.

Work permits under international agreements refer to agreements such as NAFTA (benefits US citizens under specific professions). Canada has no international agreement with India.
