Let me be real with you — everyone wants to move to Canada in 2025, but very few people know how to actually get a job with visa sponsorship.

So instead of giving you a boring list, I’m going to do something better:
I’ll share my personal picks for Canadian companies that actually offer visa sponsorships… and more importantly, whether they’re worth applying to or not.

If I were applying today — this is exactly how I’d approach it.

1. Air Canada – Yes, I’d Apply for Tech or Engineering Roles

Air Canada is one of the top employers in the country. If you’re into aviation, customer service, aircraft maintenance, or even IT — this company does hire internationally.

They sponsor work permits for skilled workers, especially in fields like:

• Aircraft maintenance engineers
• Data analysts
• Cybersecurity professionals
• Bilingual flight crew

My Opinion: I’d 100% apply if I had the right skills. Great benefits, real long-term potential, and chances of permanent residency later.

2. EllisDon – A Hidden Gem for Construction Professionals

If you’re into construction, project management, or even site safety — EllisDon is one of those solid companies that actively sponsor foreign workers, especially under the Canadian Global Talent Stream.

Jobs in:

• Civil engineering
• Site supervisors
• Electricians & plumbers
• Skilled trades

My Take: If I had construction experience, this would be in my top 3. They even help you settle once you’re in Canada.

3. Shopify – Only If You’re a High-Skilled Tech Pro

Now I’ll be honest — Shopify is selective. But if you’re a developer, UI/UX designer, product manager, or data scientist, they’re open to remote-first hiring and may help you relocate to Canada through sponsorship programs.

My Honest View: Only apply if you’re really good at what you do. Great company, but not easy to get in.

4. Tim Hortons & McDonald’s Canada – Yes, for Entry-Level Jobs

Surprised? Many Tim Hortons and McDonald’s franchises in smaller towns do sponsor foreign workers — especially in provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan.

They hire for:

• Kitchen helpers
• Cashiers
• Shift supervisors
• Cleaners

My Advice: Good for first-timers with low experience. Salary is basic, but it’s a legal job and can help you get a foot in the door.

5. Bayshore HealthCare – Solid for Nurses and Caregivers

If I were a nurse or PSW (personal support worker), this would be my go-to. Bayshore is known to sponsor foreign health workers under streams like the Atlantic Immigration Pilot or caregiver programs.

My Opinion: If you’re in healthcare, go for it. Demand is rising, and it’s one of the best PR-friendly paths.

6. Maple Leaf Foods – Yes, for Factory Workers & Food Packers

They have meat-packing and food production plants all over Canada. They’ve hired from Philippines, India, and Latin America in the past — so yes, they sponsor.

Jobs include:

• General labourers
• Packers
• Machine operators

My Advice: It’s hard work, but decent pay and long-term stability. I’d recommend it for anyone without a degree.

7. Magna International – Worth Applying for Manufacturing/Auto Roles

This one’s a big player in the auto parts and engineering sector. They often hire:

• Machine operators
• Welders
• Industrial engineers
• Electricians

My View: If you’re a skilled trade worker or mechanic, this is a goldmine. Try it.

How I Would Apply (If I Were You)

Let me be clear — just sending your CV randomly won’t work. You need a smart approach. Here’s how I’d personally do it:

1. Pick 3 companies only (don’t spam 50).
2. Make a company specific CV (Canada-style resume).
3. Place the note that you are willing to change places + be able to provide a visa in the cover letter.
4. Use LinkedIn to find company HR and follow up.
5. Apply early in 2025 — don’t wait till summer.

Final Words — My Real Talk Advice

If you’re dreaming of moving to Canada in 2025 and working legally, visa sponsorship jobs are the most realistic way in.

Don’t waste time with fake agents or shady consultancies. Instead, target real Canadian companies, apply directly, and stay consistent.

There are difficult jobs. Others have low starting pays. They are legal, they help you to get to the system and they provide you with a chance to make a better life.

Do you want a guide on how to apply, write the best CV or prepare for interviews? I will write it out and tell you; in plain terms, such as I would explain it to my brother or a friend of mine.
