The permit category should be clear
Employer-specific permits, open work permits, LMIA-based filings, and LMIA-exempt categories use different evidence.

Acton work permit applications should start with the work basis. The evidence needed for an employer-specific permit is different from an open work permit, an LMIA-based application, or an LMIA-exempt category.
Sawan Law House LLP helps Acton clients review work permit options, organize employer and applicant records, prepare forms, and respond to IRCC requests where needed.
We help clients make job, status, and qualification evidence clear before submission.

Common Questions
Work permit questions Acton clients often ask.
Do Acton work permit applicants always need an LMIA?
No. Some work permits are LMIA-based, some are LMIA-exempt, and some may be open work permits. The correct category depends on the facts.
Can an Acton client keep working while an extension is pending?
Sometimes maintained status may apply, but it depends on the timing, type of application, conditions, and travel. Get advice before relying on it.
What if a work permit was refused before?
The refusal reasons, missing evidence, and changed facts should be reviewed before filing again.
