there is a less than 5% chance of this happening because most employers will rather employ those on ground with permanent residency or post graduate permit. Many of the job applications they ask for your status during applying and if you have visiting you will be screened out. The way agents are marketing this thing ehn. Just deceiving people upandan.

Oga,if u tell them dey no go listen,some nigerians are already Stranded in toronto and some homeless .Agent don collect huge money for common visitor visa with high hope they will change to work visa inside canada .now they arrive and see it not that easy.to make matter worst their so many over nigth immigration adviser dishing out unprofessional quack advice like @Ruskov..if you read the canada visitor section you will be shock!

English is a very big problem to you. You are in Canada , I wonder how you went past IELTS.
Well it's fine , you called me here . Let me clear the air.
I said this, because most employers would like to see you on ground before deciding to do "business" with you , discuss salaries , etc before handing in documents for job offers and what have you.
Now there are pathways, for immigration you should follow. And most employers after giving you jobs (if you deem fit for the role , and providing you with proper documentation) you may decide to take. Some are pilot programs , which you use to apply for PNP programs. An example of which is the OINP and SINP programs in this context that needs a job offer.
Now I have a question for you, if a province weighs this options and grants you PNP, what next is left ?

Without bias , answer this question.

@ednut1 pls answer this too.

false information. Most employers will not entertain you without pr or post graduate work permit. Most employers don’t know how immigration works talk-less of LMIA. Like i said earlier you have less than a 5% chance thats if you have a scarce skill self. There are people paying as much as 20k to 30k for LMIA self.

Hello boss please I’ll like to speak to you about an agent I’m using also

House34:



This smell like the normal visa scam..embassy do not text ,,even the agent told you biometic is done at the agent office ..i guess on paper..another red flag...i have seen many scam like this ...one agent even paste a fake visa,inside a guy passpport after collect milloons and then advice he pass via dubai since na special visa...all na scam !!!

Can I get your email please I’m facing a similar situation

Skale007:
Hello everyone,

Please I will appreciate an assistance with a matter that I have been pondering on all day.

I am still here in Nigeria tho and there is this agent who a friend introduced me to. My friend happens to know someone in the UK who he chatted with that he is interested in relocating and she shared a contact with him. She told my friend that she got to the UK through the same agent. She said he doesn’t process UK for now tho that he can help with Canadian Sponsorship Visa and all he has to do is get a form from him first and then follow the steps.

Since I have my passport ready, I decided to reach out to the agent too. I paid for my form and did a lot which includes a statement of account for funds confirmation.

Now since everything was accepted, a text was sent to me from Canada Emb on an appointment date at Abuja which will be in about 2 weeks time from now.

I was scheduled so I decided to ask the agent for things I am meant to bring along with and he then immediately, he sent a text to me. I will paste it here so maybe someone with more experience can help me out because I have not done this before and I don’t know how true it is.

For better explanation, I will paste the message I got from the agent after I received a text from Canada Emb.

I have my doubts tho but please how real is this NON APPEARANCE thing?

“Good morning, I will advise you do non apperance, For non apperance you will not be interview before your visa will be issue, I can direct you to our office in Lagos if you prefer or you can visit our office in Abuja. You will do your biometric and then submit your international passport and your Sponsorship visa will be issue without interview.
Then with DHL, we will send it to you
NON APPEARANCE fee is fifty thousand naira only.

Thanks.”

I got this and I have been thinking how real it is to travel without going to the Embassy.

Someone should please help me here with an opinion.

Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks sir/ma I just want to try my luck,[/quote]

Jobsites...check indeed...LinkedIn...Glassdoor.

Fact that you have a family in Ontario will ease your settlement if the family is open to hosting you for a few weeks while you sort out long-term accommodation.

Some folks are fortunate enough to get jobs before they land usually close to when they land. I did, & I know someone else who did get a job before he landed too.

Data analysis na good field. When you check the job websites lookout for possible certifications required (if you don't have them yet) and try to get it before you arrive to make it easier to get employment in ur field. Google careers certificates dey move market in Canada I've heard.

All the best

It depends on the company. Some companies will help with the work permit process.

Temporary or permanent place?

Permanent place

In everything you do please be very careful and do not fall for scams. Try to do your research yourselves and ask questions. There are very helpful people on this forum who can put you through. Ask and learn from them.

I have followed ednut1 and the account holder is very knowledgeable and helpful. These are the people to learn from. Take good advantage.

So many fraudulent people around. Many Nigerians are fraudulent as well and many have taken their trade to Canada.

My recent visit to Canada revealed plenty of the damage Nigerians have done. They did plenty during the Covid-19 pandemic with frivolous claims.

All the best to Canada hopefuls

Ok accepted. There is no problem then. I'd refrain from advising going forward.

Do not stop helping out. Continue to do good. Share your info and people will learn.

Does anyone know a Toronto police officer? One individual scammed me out of $550. I have filed a report with the police, and my bank is conducting an investigation. However, they will only share the findings with the police if contacted. Since Toronto police are primarily focused on emergencies, if you can connect me with a police officer, please help me.

Canada is not like Nigeria where a police officer can take things into their singular hands because you know them. Either contact a lawyer or go to the police station yourself to file a report, if you have the person's details.

aestake:

Which company?

Some companies do this. Nigerians have gotten jobs from Nigeria without PR. I am sure there are some success stories on here on Nairaland.

What is your field? I know companies in tech, energy and health care that do this.

Well, you would not know when you live in your little world, would you? What is so funny?

Not everyone has got basic skillset as you might have, which is why you are surprised.

Leave your hole then you will discover a lot about Canadian companies.
