my husband has just received a job offer in Canada and we was hoping to apply for the iec visa when they open in November but with it being a lottery pick we’re seeing if there are other ways to get either pr or work visa. Someone told my husband he could go on a foreign worker visa or pr but unsure about this as I’ve never heard of it. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Is the company not helping with work permit? Check this out https://britishexpats.com/wiki/Quick...an_Immigration

Not really, we’ve emailed for some advice, please could you post the link again it doesn’t seem to be working. Thank you for your reply!

A job offer is not worth much on its own, unless the job is LMIA exempt, or the business has tried to hire Canadian/PR and not been successful (specific criteria required to prove this). They can then apply for the LMIA ($1000 cost to them) to hire a foreign worker. No guarantee it will be successful though.
IEC is an open work permit and the easiest way to go, so long as the employer is willing to wait.
