Visa Sponsorship and Immigration Pathway

Important Terminology Clarification: The term “Free Visa Scholarship” in this context refers to employer-sponsored work permit processing, not an academic award. AutaCare Services will manage and cover the costs associated with the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) application process.

Work Permit Details:

• Type: Employer-specific, closed work permit

• Initial Duration: 12 months, with possibility of extension based on performance and continued need
