job offers
I seem to be going round and round and round and round in circles with the same old crap!!!!
Just been offered a job but its the same thing from the canadian employer ,,,do you have a work permit,,,,,,,,how can I get a work permit until I get the job,,,,what is wrong with these people? Surely you can apply for a work permit first pay your fees go online look for work get job offer ,,,,,bingo yes mr/ms employer I do have a work permit and this is my permit number,,,,let me check that first ,,,,,Result its official now you can have the job.'its a bit backwards the canadians are doing this ,maybe they should try going forwards for a change ;-)

The bottom line is that if your skills aren't needed and there isn't a gap in the Canadian labour market for your experience, then you can't get a work permit, which is fair enough really - it's a system designed to protect Canadian jobs, which it's doing.
If you don't want to go down that route, then perhaps Canada isn't for you, and you should look at EU countries where you can rock up and work without a visa.
You've not even mentioned the LMIA in your post above, which is by far the trickiest part of the Temp Work Permit process, and something that the employer has to do. I think we've established from your other posts that you're not LMIA exempt, so you need to get one of those before you can get a work permit, not just a job offer.
You've also only just started looking, so it's very early to be getting frustrated - there are forum members who've been looking for a year or two without any luck.
You've read the Job Hunting section of the Wiki I take it? That will make a big difference, but you really need to inform employers what they have to do to hire you (i.e. prove they can't find a Canadian to do the job, pay $1000 for the LMIA, and wait a few months for you to be able to start work). If they're not prepared to do that, then it will mean they can probably find a Canadian easily enough and the LMIA wouldn't be granted anyway.
Remind us, what is it you do?

You can't just move to any country you fancy, whenever you want. Immigration exists for a reason.

Oh yeah, and the UK immigration system is a model of logic and reason.

Re: job offers
Yes it seems the company who offered you the job dont know the rules .They are supposed to apply for the work permit and pay the $1000 not you.Maybe they havent employed a foreign worker before?

Since the new program came in, we stopped hiring overseas applicants altogether.

I would suggest your wife may have more luck with obtaining a job offer and visa - there are hundreds of jobs for chefs out there.

Re: job offers
Thanks for that,,,i know that the fee for the employer is 1000 cad to hire you on top of the paperwork also. Would paying this yourself not be better ,at least they could do the paperwork and that just leaves the payment.Thats considering the job offer is in place and signed and by keeping in touch with your future employer this may be a good idea.What do you think???

Re: job offers
Was in edmonton alberta last year which my wife had an interview so was good to see how the other half live.We both realised that we needed to depart UK and to look into immigration to Canada as we both loved.Saskatchewan would be the ideal place as we have friends in regina whom we could go visit and check the job market when we are there.All the police checks and ielts english exams taken also so its a case of waiting as we have been doing this for nearly 3 years.We dont want to give up the dream of a far better life than the one we have here in the UK,,,very soul destroying !
