In January 2022 I moved to Quebec after being sponsored by my company. I now have a closed work permit for 3 years.
the last few months have been extremely tough, and and I am unhappy with my job for many reasons.. lack of training, no support, bad communication - I have realised this is not the job for me.
I hit a downward spiral, and have gone into depression. Having to have therapy and contemplating medication.
Adapting to the culture, the language and no support from family back at home has been tough.
I work in marketing and back in my home country I had a photography business on the side. My employer has told me I cannot do this here as my visa does not cover a second job. It is making me extremely unhappy.
I would like to stay in Canada but I’m unsure of Quebec and would prefer to be in Ontario. I would also like to have the flexibility to be able to have a full time job, while being part time employed doing my photography.
what options do I have available? I need to make some decisions soon, as it is effecting my mental health, and happiness.
I would consider trying to get sponsored by another company, but again, on a closed permit I would be unable to do my photography.
any advice would be much appreciated
Thanks
