Hi

im hoping someone can help me im currently in canada on the international experiance program, i am in my second year and looking to stay in canada. Which is the best option for me to do either a work permit which i dont think i will be approved on the LMO or apply for residency? could anyone tell me what my other options are or where i can gain this information?


Thank you

Thank you do you have a link as ive looked on the cic website and it doesnt state if i am really eligable to apply for PR.

You will need to find an employer willing to apply for the LMO. You will not be allowed to apply for residency unless you have an occupation on THE LIST, which is presently suspended. One option is education, if doing that is of interest to you.

TWP is your only work option. If you go on a study visa, you will have to pay international fees and limited work opportunities.

How do i apply for a TWP?

It depends on what you do for work and can the employer obtain an L M O for the position, look at the CIC website and the other link above.

You might wish to enquire further as to whether Mac's have already got pre-approval to hire foreign workers. OR... they may already have been issued positive LMOs recently enough to enable them to apply for an A-LMO for you... maybe.

Going by this quote on their 'foreign worker program' link here:

It's worth checking as high as you can with people at Mac's until you find someone who knows what they are talking about that can answer your questions on LMOs etc. It's certainly encouraging I'd say if nothing else.

thank you so much for your help

Due to a bump by someone I just noticed this thread of yours:

There you say you have a PR card - were you confusing this with something else perhaps? Because if you have one, that of course means you already have a way to stay in the country but this thread suggests you don't.

suelawrence

No I don't have a PR card, I'm using a friends log on details to the expat forum
