– are an international student who graduated from a designated learning institution and are eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program
– are a student who’s no longer able to meet the costs of your studies (destitute student)
– have an employer-specific work permit and are being abused or at risk of being abused in relation to your job in Canada
– applied for permanent residence in Canada
– are a dependent family member of someone who applied for permanent residence
– are the spouse or common-law partner of a skilled worker or international student

– are a refugee, refugee claimant, protected person or their family member
– are under an unenforceable removal order

If you do not have above mentioned eligibilities, you can apply for employer specific work permit. Your employer must get a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) before you submit your application.
