i beg to differ @justwise . it is in the Canadian website that a person with a visitors visa is able to apply for a work person through an approved LMIA company giving them a job offer.

if you are a visitor and you have the skills the company needs , you are free to apply for the job. Leave the rest to the company to determine if youre worth it ,

Canada that dropped that update knew that people would apply for such jobs under such circumstances . If not they would have stopped it .

Is it hard to get the job , Yes it is[i][/i] .

NOTE : people are going there to turn their LEGAL visitors visa to a LEGAL work permit . No one is going there to over stay their visa (6 months ) .And if they cant turn their LEGAL visitors visa to a LEGAL work permit, they have a return ticket back home .

Please tell me where the crime was committed here , or is it the intension that makes it a crime ?if it is , then the Canadian rule birthed the intension .

please note : this is just a discussion !

justwise:


You are part of the prob, you are not helping Nigerians rather making it difficult for Nigerians to get a visa by encouraging fraudulent activites.

you can book via rail . From Trudeau airport (YUL) , you can take a uber with ur baggage's to Bonaventure train station and get train tickets going to the nearest rain stop to your destination . If you quickly get in the train you can put ur baggage at the end of the cabin you are seated .. youll see spaces for big baggage .. but other passengers would want to go the same .. its something like this image

..No,my destination is Ottawa.

Going to Ottawa from Lagos..I am just looking at reducing the cost on airfares

The SX-1 visa is a guest visa with the additional ability to study for a short period within six months of arrival in Canada. It cannot be extended. This Visa is granted to applicants who desire to complete their short-term study objective in Canada. it does not include a work permit

kingsoncj:


I am on SX-1 visa.

How can I contact them, any link could help.

hi .. thanks for the reply ... you can dm me your number on X @realyinkaa and i will give you a call back . it will be highly appreciated

abousanogo83:


I am sorry I am not on IG. I am on X and also maybe email.

Hi , do you mind sharing your contact details as I am currently in Montreal and I would like to know more about the CS job you got ,
or to make it more comfortabe for you ,you can message me on IG @yinkaakint .

abousanogo83:
I am currently in Canada with my wife on VV.
After moving round, there are 3 levels of bringing the family in as observed. ( I have 6 children)
1. Asylum
2. School
3. LMIA. ( two types; fictitious and legitimate) both works


After due consideration, I think the school option with a DLI school is more appropriate and advantageous. 2 years course for 3 years WP after completion.

Someone also suggested short course during the visit before applying for school. I am looking into this and will let the house know.

On Cost of Living, Canada is pretty cheap compared to UK, Italy, France and Portugal and Schengen areas I have lived amongst others.

Vancouver’s got a very good weather and not as expensive as people say. I just got to Alberta this morning and will check out Edmonton and Calgary and see how it is.

I intend going to Montreal and New Brunswick before returning to Nigeria.

It may be important to share that I got a job offer for CDL driver and customer service job which though I declined as both will tie me down for 25 months with about $26 per hour pay.

Wishing everyone one luck.

If you are around and you have a better opportunity or idea, we can meet up and also discuss I am currently in Windermere estate .

the amount of years he has on his passport before expiry might be the amount of visa years they would give the person . However the person can only spend maximum 6months per entry in canada .

Helen2001:
Good Evening everyone. Please is this true? My Uncle said that his agent applied for his visa since last year November and he also did his biometrics in the same November, the agent told him that he would follow a group of people that are attending a conference meeting. The agent told him just yesterday that his visa his ready. The agent also told him that the amount of years he has in his passport is the amount of years he would spend in Canada. Please guys, does any of these make sense?

The Canadian income tax year is from January 1 to December 31.. hence every January you must file your taxes as long has you have a SIN. Leave naija out of it .

Violetdaisy:
For someone who did soft landing,is he expected to file taxes in canada or would submitting naija taxes suffice?

invest in being a DJ ..gradually buy the equipment and start practicing and promote yourself on social media and small house parties ..

cyif2003:
Pls apart from barbing and sewing which oda soft skill person fit learn to make extra cash in canada

Mrfksb1:

Viking07:
You haven’t gotten a job 🫤

Do not follow this route if your story is not genuine .... and you cant prove it .
Do not follow this route if your story is not genuine
Do not follow this route if your story is not genuine
Do not follow this route if your story is not genuine
Do not follow this route if your story is not genuine
Do not follow this route if your story is not genuine

it is not a favorable route at all!!!

Mrfksb1:
stop disturbing yourself. The main thing is get your visa first. Once you enter Canada no one will deport you. If the job thing didn't work you switch to assylum. You can become gay just for some time for the sole purpose of assylum.


Your prayers should be to get the visa stop disturbing yourself.


If you're single you've nothing to lose enter Canada with visit visa in 4-5yrs you'll have your papers. Unless you're married and you're bothered to know the quick way to have papers so you can move your family.


Get to Canada use gay assylum route you'll have your papers.

never get stranded in canada .

and yes LMIA jobs are very tough to get .

goodluck

megapriest:
I learnt converting Visiting s Visa to Work permit isn't as easy to do as most people trying to Japa thought.....

I want to ask ..

Is Canada tolerant with illegal immigrants like US?
Could it possible for an overstayed visitor to still get a Full Time Job possibly at those Rural provinces ...

Just thinking about survival of illegal immigrants in Canada compared to US..

I beg put mouth

too much info isnt that bad , but youve literally done their job for them ..which sometimes spooks them ... neverthless too little information too is bad lol ...
go with your guts and follow prayer .

meljoe:
Wahala , Is too much information bad ? I did all that because they are all adults , to show more information

Montreal is a beautiful city ... where in montreal are you ?

advice on how you got the LMIA job offer please or can i give you a call ?

Emmafe:
It won’t be possible to convert to open work permit. I can only convert to close work permit with LMIA job offer.

Revamp your resume , revamp your linkedin page , follow recruiters on linkedin and apply every day on both linkedin and indeed ... NL is a small province that needs workers .. meanwhile , dont ignore any job offer that comes at the moment saying that youre a masters holder ... bills needs to be paid .. take the job , and keep applying till you get the right job for you ...

NwanyiOkpa:
Hello guys,

I currently live in NL and just completed my masters in Safety and risk Engineering from the Memorial university of Newfoundland. I hold a bachelor's in mechanical engineering from Nigeria

Is there anyone that can help with finding a job? I don't mind any province.

Thanks

FUBO TV covers EPL, french and italian leagues ... you might look for someone and share the yearly subscription when the season kicks off .....you can have two profiles or more ( i think )

dralemania:
Please my people, how do you stream Live Football matches especially EPL? What platform do you use and what is the subscription packages like?

Following this thread****

FOR EVERYONE LOOKING TO SWITCH TO TECH IN CANADA.., TAKE THIS ADVICE

1) you need some form of Canadian work experience to start with .
2) Remember that top tech companies recently laid off a lot of their employees with tons of work experience in the tech industry , so you are competing with people that have experiences working for facebook, google, twitter etc . So be ready to spend money on one 2 or 3 certifications in the field you are going for if needed .
3) While looking for that tech job, apply for other jobs also,so that you will have a steady income... remember a job application rejection is more painful when you are jobless than when you have a job .
4) You might get tons of application rejections , do not let that derail you . Don't give up .
5) before paying someone for a fast track tech class, make sure you inquire about the type of services that person is offering .. if he/she is just offering classes , and billing you more than $1000 , its a waste of money because all the resources they are getting , you can also get it onlie and buy if cheaper .. remember YOUTUBE AND UDEMY are your best friend in the tech space .

goodluck .

Any luck with the job that offers LMIA?

Elyzbeth:

I heard that visitors can switch to work permit if they get an LMIA job till Feb 2024.
I work in tech so I’m quite hopeful I’ll be able to get a job and switch to TRP. That’s why the visitor’s visa is my first option for Canada.

zeb04:
YES. Just give them some more time. ccjosephb

hi . i am currently in Montreal on a VV , i saw one of your posts that you got a LMIA job. Can i reach out to you please . If so you can text me on 4382279843 . Or you can drop yours or your email and i will reach out to you.
Thanks

erase the thought of uk , it will take a long time before u can finally get a legal life .... if ur friend is tired of naija and feel he can survive the hustling life in a country is would not have working papers , my advice would be to focus on the US . ... if ur friend is not streetwise either he would not make it , frustration and depression are two things he would be battling with everyday .

Look i will be honest with yall , Nigeria is surely not getting better and a lot of people do not want to waste their time believing it will get better soon .i remember i have been saying "e go better" since i was in jss 2 . now i am a father of two and Nigeria only got worse . People migrating illegally is done all over the world, is it bad? YES! is it for a good cause YES. They are not traveling to wreck other countries , rather to support a country that the system works . no one is a saint , even the ones staying behind to rebuild the country have skeletons in their cupboards . Dont condemn people if youre not in their shoes .. nothing bad in telling someone seeking advice to try his luck , sebi na him get him money . Do you actually think all the people that made it in US got there legally ? you will be surprise most of them also japa ,made themselves legal there and US is celebrating them one way or the other for adding to their system .

i know people in here are trying to stay truthful and blunt as always but all i see here most times in negative comments towards people seeking for advice . You might have the shittiest profile and yet be given visa and you have the best profile and be denied . i have come to the conclusion that given a US is based on luck , just make sure your story is as true as possible and hope for a positive outcome . No one here is related to a VO nor knows the the true guidelines given to VOs to grant visa , so if you going to apply take it like you are gambling , if you get it GOOD, if you dont , try again but know from there on your story must align with your previous applications.

cool , will wait till im added up

merit1988:
saw u on my thread too ....yes we are

i hope they are all matured minds , you can add me up on +19087372941

we are going strong... we have more ladies actually

Bottom line is its all FEAR!fear that youll be come a liabilty, fear that you wil jeopardize they own status. This is because it might have happened to them before or they have seen it happen to a friend to heard stories. No matter how much you have planned in naija, that plan usually doenst work out the way you planned it once you get abroad.

Well if you send him some cash to rent you an apartment for 5 months before your arrival , this story might change.
For the mere fact that he knows you think he is loaded, it will forever linger in his mind that you would want his help .

Madlov3:
This guy is based in USA. He’s loaded. During the phone session, i made him know my plans and how i had carefully arranged them and how resolute i was. Oga just changed the tone of the discussion o.

he probably thinks you would be a burden as he might have seen that happen to himself or a freind, dont blame him for thinking about himself first.

Madlov3:
bros even amongst thee legals. I had a phone session with a Nigerian big man based Abroad recently.it was same old talk
