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.
Plumber.

Plumber.

I know plenty people who have gotten jobs as builders and plumbers. Check out the British and French expats Facebook groups.

Some have city and guilds plumbing.

Loads in the building industry get sponsored.as well. Check the groups and do a search.

most does not mean all na. Some few companies do it for people with certain scarce skills. some also do arrangee. From indeed self most of the jobs ask for you work authorization true or false

Correct. Which is why I say some companies. It depends on the skillset. For highly sought after jobs, companies do sponsor. Express entry remains a very good channel to PR for people with funds.

I certainly do not advise people to pay consultants. Consultants are there to make quick money from people.

ask in study visa thread. I have not lived in Nova Scotia, only visited Alberta once. I don’t know about jobs or accommodation there.

If you're not getting any response, that in itself is something. You may need to rephrase your question based on your own research. Now, I haven't been to any of the places you asked about, but below is what I found on Google.

Sarnia - closer to Detroit, US than it is to the nearest Canadian city (London, ON)
Medicine hat - almost 3 hrs away from Calgary, AB
Nova Scotia College - NSCC? they have 14 campuses across the province. You should find information on the specific campus you may be heading to.

In terms of jobs and accommodation, I would choose NSCC.

A room in a fully furnished 2 bedroom apartment is available for short stay in London, Ontario, from 1st of Dec - 30th of Dec 2022.

Apartment is located in downtown, close to Fanshawe main campus and Western Uni.

The price is affordable and I dare say, cheap (compared to others)

If you are interested, please send me a DM. Thank you.

Please can I get your email? I want to ask you some questions
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Enculer2: 12:00pm On Jul 18, 2023
How did you navigate getting a temporary accommodation when you landed?

If one needs a temporary accommodation (a house) for 3 months in Ontario for example, do you just pay upfront for the 3 months on airbnb or are there any short lease alternatives?

A quick question. I believe one can get labour jobs with a visitors visa . Jobs like cleaning, construction, more like manual labour jobs. Or am I wrong?
affoncad:


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!

Quoting one of his statement
"Best bet once you have TRV, begin to process permanent residence immediately"

If you can get a study permit while in Canada. That’ll be a first step, you can kick off from there. The sky is your limit
