Canada Work Permit Application Form (IMM 1295) Details

The Canada Work Permit Application (IMM 1295) is the official document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for foreign nationals seeking temporary employment authorization. Applicants with a valid job offer from a Canadian employer submit this form as part of the work permit process, which typically requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) confirming the position could not be filled by a qualified Canadian worker.

The form requires applicants to provide the following information:

• Full legal name, date of birth, citizenship, and identity document numbers
• Current and prior residential and mailing addresses
• Details about the Canadian employer, job title, and offered salary
• Travel history and prior Canadian visa or permit applications
• Health status and any past criminal convictions
• Information about family members who will accompany the applicant to Canada

Open work permit holders, such as spouses of skilled workers or recent international graduates, use the same IMM 1295 form with different supporting documents. Review the Canadian Open Work Permit form for that category. Applicants who also need to travel to Canada as visitors may reference the Canada Visitor Visa Application (IMM 5257).

Providing accurate and complete information is essential. Misrepresentation on the form is grounds for permit denial, removal from Canada, and a bar on future applications. Always read the official IRCC instructions before submitting.
