Thanks Leon. Another thing, could you please explain the rationale behind employers preferring their prospective employees to be actually in the region (say Toronto) vs. them being out of the country as they process their papers. What are the advantages of actually being in Canada as you look...

here's the scenario: say, i go to toronto on a visitor visa. within a month, i find a willing employer to petition me. how long would it usually take for all the paper works to be done so i can start working? would the process be costly? i'd appreciate your response. thanks.

Re: Is it feasible for someone w/ a student visa to get working visa in the futu Thanks Leon. So she should just keep mum about her having a sister in Canada. Won't the subject of her having a relative be brought up though during the interview and in the application itself?

Re: Is it feasible for someone w/ a student visa to get working visa in the futu Leon, my wife has a sister in Toronto, would it help her application if she mentions this? We're planning to rent out a place close to her school, but again would it help her application if her sister would show...

Re: Is it feasible for someone w/ a student visa to get working visa in the futu Thanks Leon. You really do make things a lot clearer for us. Yes, being a green card holder, I guess I can petition for her just for that reason, so she could have something to pitch Canadian immigration should...

Re: Is it feasible for someone w/ a student visa to get working visa in the futu thanks ghiaskhan. Leon, when you said she could apply for a tourist visa right after graduation to buy some time, won't her intent be questioned?

Re: Is it feasible for someone w/ a student visa to get working visa in the futu Thanks Leon. I guess my wife does not qualify for the Ontario PNP as the school she will go to is a private institution (Oxford North Toronto). I just hope she'll be able to land a job as a dental hygienist...

Re: Is it feasible for someone w/ a student visa to get working visa in the futu Thank you for valuable response BCguy. When you said that "she automatically qualifies as a PNP in the province she studied in,that is the case for almost all provinces,she also automatically qualifies under CEC,"...

Sorry, it's me again w/ my seemingly never-ending host of questions... I just got my green card but my wife is out of status here in the US. She's applying for a student visa through a university there in Canada. She's going to study Dental Hygiene and the program runs for 2 yrs. My question...

thanks BCguy and Leon. how long does the processing for a temporary work permit take? how long would the permit be valid? and could it eventually lead to permanent residency? pardon all my questions... thanks again...

My friend just got his US greencard; he's interested in migrating to Canada under the skilled workers program. He's having a hard time though in finding an employer to sponsor him, the moment they find out he needs sponsorship, they kind of back off. Now that he can legally go to Canada w/o the...

thank you for your info leon. we're planning to apply for permanent residence in canada as we have enough points under the current system. and i know soon we have to submit a police clearance of some sort, wouldn't that expose her visa violation in some way?

i'm on h1b here in the u.s.; my wife worked without authorization as she was on h4, was not able to extend her h4 and now out of status. would her visa violation here in the u.s. prevent us from immigrating to canada? we would appreciate any info on this... thanks in advance
