Hello Guys Good Day to all
I have a question please help,I'm on a visitors visa right now and I found an employer can able to provide a work permit.I believe that I need to exit in US border to change my status but I don't have a US visa.How could this be possible.Don't wanna take the risk going back to my home country.Is there anywhere else I can go within Canada and without Visa required..

Probably better to start a new thread instead of tagging onto a thread started in 2011 !!

You can apply at the border for a work permit. I spoke to a lawyer about this and he said it was very unlikely that someone would get rejected at the border. However, the above poster is wrong: you can apply inland to adjust your status, even if you are a visitor. From CIC's website(for some reason I'm not allowed to post links, sorry):

This application is for temporary residents who are already in Canada and wish to:

extend their stay;
change the conditions of their stay;
change their type of temporary status; or
correct problems with their status.
It is important to apply for the renewal before the expiry of your current status.

New: You now have two options available when submitting an application to change conditions or extend your stay in Canada as a worker:

Option 1

Submit your application electronically

or
Option 2

Download and read your instruction guide and your application forms
Complete, sign and date your application forms
Pay the fees
Mail your completed application to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville, Alberta

Visitors are considered temporary residents.

Yes - you can apply to change your status to visitor. No - you can't work as a visitor.

You need a work permit to be able to legally continue working.
