Yes, unless those jobs are LIMA-exempt

You really mean mania jobs like cleaner, sweepers, sales boys/girls,and house made require LIMIA?

All you need is to go online, do research on LMIA-exempt jobs.

ok ooo,thank you so much for your time!

When a job under the LMIA exempt is available, students or others who have permits to work will fill the vacant positions immediately. This makes it difficult for those applicants with visitor visa status to get job offers, which they can use to get work permits.

It's very difficult now, especially if you don't have someone on hand who can help you with accommodation until you get yourself situated.

It's a bit easier for those who have family or friends who can accommodate them when they get in because, right now, you will need a big chunk of money to rent a single room.

It's good to get the visa, but beware if you have a motive other than visiting; getting a job offer is not as easy as our people talk about it at home or in the Nairaland forum.

No one is here to discourage anyone, but to encourage our brothers and sisters who don't have family or friends in Canada to prepare themselves mentally and financially.

I want you guys to note this. No matter how tough the situation is, some people will still find it easy; therefore, now is the time to make the big move. All you need to do is be prepared, because it's a big war to survive in this world as an African.

Lol as a Nigerian even if you have another countries passport you don't need a visa to enter your own country .... Get the child birth certificate and Canada passport and travel.. if you are at the airport the child would be allowed in cause he is a Nigerian.. dont

This is not true because no airline will allow you to board because you need a Nigerian passport or visa to enter Nigeria.

What Nigerian immigration said is that a Nigerian citizen can travel to Nigeria with an expired passport.

How fast can one with a pipeline welding certification and a certificate for ship construction from Samsung Heavy Industry (fully grounded in welding and fabrication) get an LMIA Job

MayorOfEdmonton:
Driving and cooking are really nice skills to have, but if we are being objective, I'd ask myself does these skills set me apart from the deluge of unemployed people with valid work visa and valid Canadian driver's license?

While having a business shows I'm enterprising, do I have a Business Analysis degree(s)+Certificates recognized in Canada?
Even having those doesn't guarantee employment.

Guys we have to be strategic!!! I hearsay dun turn Otunba for Nigeria to who dey sleep for street in Canada.
I hope your hardwork get blessed with success& you'd share your success story for all to learn from 🙏🙏

How quickly can someone with a visitor visa get a job?

This is one of the toughest questions to answer.

But chances are a bit higher for someone with such certificate... Cos i checked welding is in high demand..

I never doubted that, and those experienced welders with work permits might find it easy to get welding jobs.

I only commented on the question of how quickly a welder with visitor visa status can get a job offer.

My answer is: No one knows.

People still never understand that getting a LMIA sponsorship job is almost impossible in Canada.

Please can someone kindly help with this 🙏

Byetunde:
Hello house, please i need your assistance... I have not been able to login to my ircc portal ever since i have gone for my biometric. which was on the 19th of september...each time i tried logging in it is always saying no request found. And i have not receive any mail since then too. Please kindly help out i am worried. Thank you

please any answer to this?

mbanolady:

Someone please reply

No, you will pay for the new application. You don’t need to pay for biometrics again since you have paid for one.

You can apply for a refund for the application you cancelled, but the probability of getting any money back from IRCC is close to zero.

I myself applied for a refund on behalf of my sister-in-law in May 2023, but I haven't heard anything from them.

Good day everyone..... please I need someone to put me through on how to apply for Canadian visitor's visa.... I need the site to apply from and what are the needed documents.... I don't have anybody in Canada.... thanks

Good job?

Enter via student visa, get certificate and hope for the best.... Na 50 50.
Securing LMIA job after study is even hard.

USA, UK and some European countries dupe pass Canada honestly.

But if we keep talking, we might be tagged as enemy.

For those japping with visit visa,,, all I can say is all the best o 🚶🚶🚶

Hello everyone,

I will like to seek an advice on behalf of my friend who applied for Canada visit visa through a quack agent.

The agent did a very bad job and I'm wondering if these errors which are obviously misrepresentations can be rectified in anyway, we found out all the errors through GCMS notes after the agent stopped picking his calls and we don't know the status of the application.

I'll summarise the errors below:

1. Marital status: Agent claimed he is single meanwhile my friend is married with 2 children.

2. Travel history: he lived in another country for 3 years with legal resident permit but agent claimed he never travelled before.

3. Education history: he claimed my friend never went to school, meanwhile he has a bachelor's degree.

4. Work history: agent wrote self employed with a non existent business name.

I can't even talk about the proof of funds and other mistakes we found in the application documents. We were able to access the documents submitted with the application, that's how we found all these errors.

We also found out the visa application was already denied through the note, with VO citing inconsistencies in application information and lack of economic ties to home country.


Kindly advice what can be done in this situation so that he doesn't get banned in his next application, he is planning to reapply again.

This is a lesson to everyone in the process, Please be careful of agents that you employ in your visa applications, verify all details submitted on your behalf and be sure the information can be backed up with evidence anytime there is a request for such.
