Significant Benefit to Canada (C10)

The Significant Benefit to Canada (C10) program grants temporary resident permits to foreign nationals who can demonstrate that their entry or continued stay in Canada would result in a significant benefit to Canada

C10 is a job-specific work permit. This indicates that individuals who receive this permit can work exclusively for the specified employer. To obtain the C10 work permit, applicants must secure a job offer from a Canadian employer. Alternatively, foreign professionals may qualify for this work permit if they are entrepreneurs or meet the IRCC criteria for self-employed individuals (in fields of culture, arts, and athletics).

This provision is typically used for temporary situations rather than permanent immigration. Foreign professionals can use the C10 work permit to come to Canada and gain valuable work experience. They can then use this experience to apply for permanent residence through Express Entry’s Canadian Experience Class program
