We show those who want and are interested in working in Canada how to obtain a work permit in Canada for the year 2024, what are the different types of work permits, and how you can estimate the length of time you will need to obtain a Canadian work permit. We will also take a look at the basic steps that must be followed to obtain this permit: 1/ employment prospecting:
The initial crucial phase involves identifying an employment opportunity in Canada. In order to proceed, it is necessary for you to have a work offer from an employer based in Canada.

 

2/ Verify your eligibility:
It is imperative to confirm that you satisfy the essential criteria for the specific position, including abilities, experience, and certifications. Depending on the nature of the employment, it may be necessary for you to undertake a medical examination or acquire a certificate of no criminal record.

 

3/ To apply for a work permit in Canada:
you must first identify a job opportunity and confirm that you meet the necessary requirements. Then, you can submit an application for a temporary work permit on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)website.

 

4/ Application processing:
Once the application is submitted, it will undergo processing by the authorized authorities in Canada. The duration of application processing may vary based on the specific permit type and the nation in which the application is submitted.

 

5/ Await the designated date:
Following the completion of the application process, you will be notified of the specific date on which you may commence employment in Canada.
There are various types of work permits available in Canada.
Canada has three primary categories of work permits:

1/ Provisional employment authorization in Canada:
The most prevalent form of work authorization in Canada is the one being referred to. This visa grants you the authorization to engage in employment within Canada for a designated duration, contingent upon specific terms and conditions. In order to proceed, it is necessary for you to secure a job offer from an employer in Canada. Additionally, you will need to submit evidence that there are no eligible Canadian workers who are able to fulfill the employment requirements.

2/ Obtaining an open work permit in Canada:
This is a unique category of work visa that grants you the authorization to work in Canada without requiring a specific job offer. An open work visa is subject to some limitations, but offers increased versatility in selecting your business and work location.

3/ Obtaining a permanent work permit in Canada:
This category is uncommon and grants you the opportunity to work in Canada on a permanent basis. To acquire a permanent work permit in Canada, one must either hold permanent residency status or meet the eligibility criteria for permanent residency via immigration programs.

The duration required to acquire a work permit

It is important to understand that the length of time required to receive a work permit is influenced by various factors, such as:

Work permit classification:
As previously stated, there exist various classifications of work permits. Temporary work permits typically have shorter processing times compared to permanent work permits.

Instructions for application: Submitting your application electronically typically results in a shorter processing time compared to submitting it on paper.

Country of application:
The nationality of the applicant can impact the duration required to acquire a work visa. Certain countries may have a reputation for expediting order processing more efficiently than others.

Seasonality and market demand:
At times, there are periods of high demand for work permits in Canada, which might lead to longer processing timeframes.

The impact of COVID-19 on political dynamics:
Global events and shifts in politics can impact the duration required for an individual to acquire a work visa.

Typically, the timeframe for acquiring a temporary work visa might vary from a few weeks to several months, but permanent work permits may require many years. Therefore, it is crucial that you be adequately prepared to endure and exhibit patience throughout the Canadian work visa application procedure.

Wanted Bandits Kingpin, Ado Aleru Holds ‘Peace Meeting’ With Katsina Communities, Nigerian Army Officers

Published

on

Despite his status as a fugitive, Aleru was seen actively participating in the discussions and addressing the gathering.

The notorious bandits kingpin, Ado Aleru, who remains on the wanted list of Nigerian security forces, has again surfaced publicly — this time leading a peace meeting in Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State.

The parley, aimed at fostering peaceful coexistence between Fulani herders and other communities, was attended by personnel of the Nigerian Army, community leaders, and several bandit groups, including Aleru’s faction.

Despite his status as a fugitive, Aleru was seen actively participating in the discussions and addressing the gathering.

A peace meeting was held with bandits in Danmusa Local Government Area, where Ado Aleru, who has been declared highly wanted, was seen giving a speech about measures to be taken between the Fulani and other communities to ensure peaceful coexistence.

This isn’t the first time Ado Aleru is seen holding peace talks with communities and the government but he will again be seen attacking innocent communities.

Same Ado Aleru was conferred with a Traditional Title in Zamfara during Bello Matawalle’s administration who is also the current Minister of State for Defence.

A peace parley was held between residents of Dan-Musa and bandits in Dan-Musa LGA, Katsina State.

Attendees included Nigerian Army, community leaders and several bandits groups including notorious leader Ado Aleru.

Meanwhile, SaharaReporters had reported in July 2022 that Ada Aleru was declared wanted by the Katsina State Police Command in 2019 with a bounty of N5million put on his head.

He was the arrowhead of a deadly raid on Kadisau, a community in the Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State, where about 52 people were killed.

Deadly attacks have raged across Zamfara state where bandits have thrived.

In 2019, the state government signed a peace agreement with the gunmen.

About 15 brand new Hilux vehicles and cash gifts were also given to leaders of different ‘repentant’ gangs of bandits by the governor in 2020.

But despite all these, communities in the state are still being attacked and residents kidnapped and/or killed.

Several Houses Destroyed, One Person Injured In Another Flooding In Niger State Communities

Published

on

SaharaReporters reliably gathered that the affected communities — Manmusa Kodogi, Efuliman Nasara, Emiyagi, and Tako Malam Halidu — were hit hard by the torrential rainfall, which led to flash floods, collapsed buildings and widespread destruction of property.

Several houses have been destroyed and one person severely injured as a midnight flood ravaged four communities in Bida Local Government Area of Niger State following a heavy downpour that began late Friday, 13 June, and continued into the early hours of Saturday.

SaharaReporters reliably gathered that the affected communities — Manmusa Kodogi, Efuliman Nasara, Emiyagi, and Tako Malam Halidu — were hit hard by the torrential rainfall, which led to flash floods, collapsed buildings and widespread destruction of property.

SaharaReporters had lesrnt that though no fatalities were recorded, the flood left behind a trail of damage, displacing residents and leaving one victim with serious injuries.

The injured person is currently receiving treatment at a local health facility.

Confirming the development to SaharaReporters, the acting Director General of the Niger State Emergency Management Agency (NSEMA), Hussaini Ibrahim, said: “There are reports [of] several flash-flood [incidents] across Niger State as a result of [the] heavy downpour that happened between yesterday night and this morning.”

He added: “My teams are on ground to ascertain the damages.”

Officials of NSEMA have since been deployed to the affected areas to assess the extent of the damage and coordinate emergency response for affected residents.

SaharaReporters earlier on Saturday exclusively reported that Niger State community, Kpautagi, located in the Mokwa area of the state, has been hit by fresh flooding.

A verified video obtained by SaharaReporters on Saturday showed that the community became flooded after a heavy rainfall which occurred on the morning of Saturday, June 14.

Residents affected by the development stated that the torrential rainfall lasted through the night into the next morning.

They cannot yet confirm the number of casualties or the extent of damage.

SaharaReporters earlier reported flooding in the Mokwa area of Niger State which led to the loss of over 200 lives.

The incident also led to the displacement of thousands of persons.

Eyewitnesses had described a harrowing scene on Thursday morning as bodies were seen in various parts of the town.

Many families have been displaced, while others continue to search for missing loved ones.

SaharaReporters’ earlier review of the budget performance documents for Niger State showed that a sum of N5.7 billion was spent on honorarium and sitting allowances by the state between January 2024 and March 2025.

The state, however, spent less on erosion and flood control during the same period.

In 2024, honorarium and sitting allowances gulped N4.813 billion, while between January and March 2025, N949.2 million was spent on the same purpose. In total, the state spent N5.762 billion on honorarium and sitting allowances between January 2024 and March 2025.
