Who can apply — read this part

Honest note from us: this posting has no LMIA approval attached on Job Bank. No LMIA means no visa sponsorship comes with this job.

• Already in Canada with work authorization (open work permit, PGWP, spousal permit, PR)? Apply normally — this is a real, current opening.
• Outside Canada with no Canadian status? Treat this as a lead, not a visa route. It only becomes real if the employer replies and agrees to support a work permit — and you should ask that question up front.
• Job Bank's own rule for this posting: “Canadian citizens and permanent or temporary residents of Canada | other candidates, with or without a valid Canadian work permit”.

Apply only through the official Job Bank posting: https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/jobsearch/jobposting/50341766 (posting 50341766). Read the requirements twice, send what they actually ask for, and nothing more.
