Are you looking for simple jobs in Canada that can give you a work visa? Good news! In 2025, Canada needs many workers for easy jobs. There are not enough Canadian people to do these jobs, so companies are ready to hire foreigners and help them get a visa. This guide uses very simple English to explain everything step by step.
The Legal Gateway: Visa Pathways for Unskilled Workers
To work in Canada in simple jobs, you cannot use the normal Express Entry system. You need a job offer from a Canadian boss first. These are the main ways to come.
Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) Canada 2025
This is the most common way to get a work visa for simple jobs (called TEER 4 and TEER 5 jobs).
- First, the Canadian boss must get a paper called LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment). This paper says “We tried to find a Canadian, but no one wanted the job.”
- Many bosses already have LMIA ready for jobs that need no school diploma or experience.
- When the LMIA is positive, the boss gives you a job offer letter.
- With that letter, you apply for a work permit. This permit lets you work only for that boss.
This is the real way to get sponsorship jobs in Canada with no degree.
Permanent Residency Pilot Programs (PR Pathways)
After you work in Canada for some time, you can apply to stay forever (Permanent Residency – PR). These programs help people in simple jobs:
| Program | Where | Best Jobs | How You Get PR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) | New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island | Hotel cleaner, kitchen helper, restaurant server, warehouse worker | Fast and easy PR after job offer |
| Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) | Small towns that joined the program | Shop worker, factory helper, cleaner | The town recommends you for PR |
| Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) – low-skilled stream | Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia, etc. | Meat cutter, long-haul truck driver, construction helper | Province chooses you = very fast PR |
High-Demand Sectors for Unskilled Jobs
These jobs need workers badly in 2025. Many companies are ready to do LMIA and sponsor visa.
- Logistics and Warehouse Online shopping is very big, so warehouses need people every day. Jobs: picker/packer, material handler, general helper, truck driver helper. Salary starts from $17–22 per hour.
- Hospitality & Food Service Restaurants, hotels, and cafes need staff, especially in summer and tourist places. Jobs: kitchen helper, dishwasher, cleaner, server, front desk helper. Very easy to find in cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Banff.
- Retail & Customer Service Big shops like Walmart, Canadian Tire, Tim Hortons always hire. Jobs: cashier, store stock person, customer helper. No experience needed.
- Caregiving (Looking after children or old people at home) Canada has two special programs: Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot. You can come directly, work, and get PR after 24 months.
- Agriculture and Farm Jobs In spring and summer, farms need many workers for fruits, vegetables, and flowers. The Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) gives visa for 8 months. Some people come every year.
Application & Logistics: The Canadian Standard
Tailoring Your Application for Low-Skilled Roles
- Resume: Make it only 1 or 2 pages. Do NOT put photo, age, religion, or marital status. Canadian bosses don’t want this information. Write simple points: “I am hard-working”, “I can lift 20 kg”, “I worked 10 hours a day with no problem”, “I served 100 customers per day”.
- Where to Look for Jobs
- Job Bank Canada (official government website) – filter “open to international workers”.
- Facebook groups: “Jobs in Canada for Foreigners”, “TFWP LMIA Jobs Canada 2025”.
- Licensed recruitment agencies from India, Philippines, Kenya, Nigeria, etc. Ask them for “LMIA already approved jobs”.
- English or French Level For the job, many bosses accept very basic English. But if you want PR later (AIP, RNIP), you need minimum CLB 4 or 5 (easy level).
Practicalities of Working in Canada
- Money: Minimum wage in 2025 is $16–$18 per hour in most provinces (example: Ontario $17.20, BC $17.40). Many jobs pay more + overtime.
- SIN Number: As soon as you land in Canada, go to Service Canada office and get your SIN (Social Insurance Number). Without SIN, you cannot get salary.
- Housing: Rent is high in big cities. Start looking early. Many workers share an apartment (3–4 people in one place) to save money.
Long-Term Stay: Transitioning to PR
Your first simple job is not the end. It is the beginning!
Your Upskilling & Advancement Strategy
Do these three things and you can stay in Canada forever:
- Work full-time for at least 12 months (better 24 months).
- Learn new skills at your job – forklift license, food safety certificate, first aid, or become team leader. These small certificates help a lot.
- Apply to Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) or the caregiving pilots. People who started as cleaners or farm workers now have PR and good jobs.
Many people came with zero English and no degree, worked hard for 2–3 years, and now they are permanent residents bringing their family.
