Global Skills Strategy (GSS) Work Permit Eligibility Requirements
-
In order to be eligible under the global skills strategy (GSS) stream, you must be submitting your application online from outside Canada and one of the following situations must apply to you:
Situation 1:
Your employer has already obtained a positive global talent stream (GTS) (category A or B) LMIA from ESDC for you. If this situation applies to you, then you must inform us that you are applying by using a GTS LMIA when you complete your eligibility check.
Situation 2:
You have obtained an offer of employment from an employer who is LMIA exempt. Your occupation must fall under NOC skill type 0 or A and you must be applying for an employer-specific work permit.
In your cousin’s case, although he has received a job offer, he is still not eligible under GSS because his job falls under NOC skill type B instead of 0 or A.
