French-speaking candidates recruited for temporary employment in managerial, professional or technical occupations and skilled trades, included in Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification (NOC), and who will be working in a province or territory other than Quebec, can benefit from streamlined and accelerated processing of their Work Permit applications.
The prevailing wage in the immigration process
In order to be successful during your immigration process it is important to consider that the wage offered by your employer plays an important role. During a Labour Market Opinion or even when applying under a different stream for a work permit or for permanent residence, the immigration officers rely on the statistics provided by working-in-canada.
Revocation of Labor Market Opinions and Work Permits
On December 27, 2013, Ministerial Instructions were released respecting Labour Market Opinions and Temporary Work Permits. The Ministry of Employment and Social Development Canada together with Citizenship and Immigration Canada will have the power to revoke the positive Labor Market Opinion and the granted work permit in order to address immediately the changes and demands of the Labor Market. This will certainly put the Canadian employers at risk of losing their workers without notice.

Many people ask the same question when it comes to end of their Working Holiday Visa and wish to remain in Canada longer. The Working Holiday Visa cannot be extended and most of the time the only way to remain in Canada is as a visitor.
How to tell a Canadian employer that you need their help to stay in Canada
Telling a Canadian employer to help you stay in Canada can be challenging. Most Canadian employers are unfamiliar with Canadian immigration laws and are afraid to deal with the Canadian government.
My Canadian employer wants to sponsor me
The procedure to follow depends on the kind of work permit the worker has or if the Skilled Foreign Worker is not in Canada. For example, a person with a Working Holiday Visa will have to apply under different rules than a person who holds a Post Graduate Work Permit in Canada.
