Desperate for a work permit
Hi, can anyone please help me.
My name is George Gregan
Im new to Vancouver, originally from Southampton in Hampshire.
Im young (23), hard working and reliable. And will work cheap.
But I haven't found anyone who can sponsor me for a work permit.
I have been offered work here on the condition I get a permit elsewhere somehow. But cant find employers to sponsor one.
I have experience in dock work driving a straddle carrier, security, labour , cleaning and working in shops.
Thank you for your time.

Re: Desperate for a work permit
Hi, are you able to use the BUNAC programme.
I think you have to be 18-30 and get your application in by December of this year for next year.
It will allow you to work in any job for 1 year, during that time the employer can apply for a labour market opinion (LMO) and get you a work permit, but you are then tied to that job, and are not free to work with another company, without going through the whole process again.
Bunac offers flexibility
Dont know if this is any use to you.
