Well that was always my Philosophy....if you want to get to know the country and learn the language get yourself a long haired dictionary.
Don't apply to Canada but still better fun than being on your own.

Its not the work permit you need its the LMO, And your new employer in Canada gets you that . When you arrive in Canada (with LMO)the Immigration Officer will attach the work permit to your passport.

Not the best time to put it on the market so good luck, perhaps the 1.5% announced today will help.
