Working and relocating

Official immigration and hiring routes for 25 countries — the visa classes, the employer schemes that sponsor, the occupation lists, and who recognises your qualifications. Free, no login.

Every link on these pages is an official source — a government department, a regulator, or the body that actually issues the designation. Immigration consultancies, agents and law firms are deliberately excluded, because the thing worth having is the rule itself, not somebody’s summary of it.

The one thing worth knowing before you start: almost no country publishes a list of employers licensed to sponsor a foreign worker. Three of the 25 here do, and each by a different mechanism — the United Kingdom keeps a downloadable register of licensed sponsors; the United States publishes bulk labour-condition and PERM disclosure data naming every employer that has filed, plus an H-1B employer data hub; and Canada’s Atlantic provinces and rural pilot communities each publish their own designated-employer rosters. Everywhere else, an employer’s standing is either not public or visible only as a watchlist of employers in trouble. Any site offering you a list of “approved sponsors” for the other countries is selling something.
