An offer of employment can be a substantial support to a Canadian immigration application.

Offers of employment and gaining Canadian work experience are often prerequisites for eligibility to many economic immigration pathways. Additionally, having a Canadian offer of employment can help secure a work permit, which in turn can allow individuals to live and work in Canada before receiving permanent residence (PR) status.

However, offers of employment can also be vehicles for fraud and scams—with newcomers particularly vulnerable to this deception.

To better determine whether an offer of employment is genuine Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has developed a framework to better understand document validity. When evaluating an employment offer in support of a work permit application, IRCC assesses whether:

• The employer offering the job is “actively engaged” with the business;
• The job offer is consistent with the reasonable needs of the employer;
• The job offer has terms that the employer can reasonably fulfill; and
• The job offer is from an employer or authorized recruiter who has shown past compliance with federal and provincial regulations for employment in the province/territory where the applicant will be employed.

IRCC also notes that an employer’s contact details must be present on the offer of employment.
