Canada Immigration FAQs
Clear explanations of work permits, LMIA routes, PR pathways, and compliance rules for hiring in Canada.
Use these answers to plan the information and decisions HR needs to coordinate. Requirements can change, and the process depends on the employee, role, employer, and destination. Confirm the applicable route and obligations with partner immigration counsel.
Does WayLit handle LMIA and LMIA-exempt routes?
WayLit coordinates case work with partner immigration attorneys. Ask the team to assess whether the proposed role and employee fit an LMIA-based, LMIA-exempt, transfer, treaty, or permanent-residence route. Confirm who provides legal advice, prepares or submits each application, and completes employer declarations and approvals before beginning.
How long does a typical Canadian work permit take?
An LMIA, a work-permit application, and the employee’s travel or start date are separate stages. IRCC’s Global Skills Strategy has a two-week processing target for eligible complete work-permit applications; it is not a guaranteed end-to-end hiring timeline or a blanket Global Talent Stream LMIA timeframe. Check the employee’s eligibility, current processing guidance, and remaining steps before confirming a date. See IRCC’s Global Skills Strategy guidance.
What does HR need to provide?
Prepare the job duties, work location, pay, employing entity, proposed employment terms, and sponsorship approvals. Partner counsel should identify whether the route requires an LMIA, recruitment evidence, or an employer-compliance submission. Assign owners for any employer postings, records, declarations, and signatures rather than assuming every step can be completed by the case team.
How does WayLit manage PR timelines?
Identify the employee's actual permanent-residence route and distinguish any expression of interest, invitation or nomination, application, government review, and work-status expiry. A pending permanent-residence plan does not by itself establish permission to keep working. Ask partner counsel to assess any separate extension or bridging option and its conditions. See IRCC's bridging open work-permit guidance for route-specific eligibility. The case team can track the agreed milestones, document requests, and deadlines.
How do I confirm whether WayLit supports a visa route?
Share the destination, proposed role, employer structure, and employee’s circumstances with the case team. WayLit and partner attorneys can confirm the supported route, legal requirements, service scope, and next steps before work begins. Coverage and eligibility depend on the particular case.
What does WayLit coordinate, and what remains with HR?
WayLit coordinates case workflows, document requests, employee updates, and next steps with partner immigration attorneys. Partner attorneys advise on the applicable legal requirements and filings. HR provides accurate employment and company information, approves sponsorship and budgets, and carries out employer obligations. Agree on case-specific responsibilities at the start and flag changes in the role, worksite, or employee’s circumstances.
How does WayLit help HR track renewals and compliance deadlines?
The platform records case milestones and relevant deadlines, while the case team coordinates reminders and next steps. HR should keep employment and employee information current, respond to assigned tasks, and tell the team about changes. Partner attorneys confirm the applicable filing requirements and legal obligations for the case.
How does WayLit keep employees informed?
WayLit coordinates case updates, document requests, and action items directly with employees. Questions about legal requirements, travel, or work authorization are coordinated with partner immigration attorneys. HR remains involved when company information, sponsorship decisions, or employer action is needed.
