Hi all, I would be interested to know how you approach an employer in such cases? How do you convince them that it is worth the hassle and it is worth waiting 2-3 MONTHS for the LMO ?? I mean that's a lot of time... they should be able to find quite a few people in 2-3 months that qualify and...

LMO I guess :)

Leon, Thanks for your valuable input. Sadly, no working holiday possibility :-[ I wonder how such a huge number of temp workers got in? Perhaps I'm the only one being in such a situation?! Anyone else?

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has experience getting a work visa as a tourist? It's clear that this is my only chance and would like to travel to canada (impossible to get interviews from abroad) as a tourist and give it a go in a year or so. I assume the more special technical knowledge one...

Yeah, the job offer..this is what I just cannot arrange. Getting the LMO is just hassle for the employers and I don't think either that they would wait 2-3 months until I get my TWP. Thanks again and best of luck to you.

Oh well, what was I thinking... :( Anyway thanks a lot for your detailed response. If I understand you well I have no choice whatsoever. I work as a SQL Server DBA and plan to do the same in the future. If you can just suggest agencies that deal with foreign workers that would be wonderful..if...

Hi all, I came across a post on this forum that discussed that no LMO was required for Software developers. Is that correct? I would appreciate any inputs/experience on this... I'm also not sure what counts as software developer. Does cic specify it? Eg. whats with database administrators...

Depends. Eg the embassy where I belong to says that "two passport-size photographs for all persons included in your application; additional photographs will be required if we request you to have a medical examination..." So check first whether you need this medical thing.

You can but I bet they meant one of the regular ways to immigrate eg. FAM,CEC or PNP. I still think that your previous PR application will weaken your case if you go for a student visa. I know the system is kinda .... However you can attach a good letter of explanation detailing why you wanna...

It is likely that it will be rejected as the visa officer may assume that you wanna immigrate this way after your PR rejection. And honestly this is what 99% would think I believe ... ::)

indeed you were right Vermas. sorry for being so inadvertent :-X

I do not agree with verma. 1.You may get a work permit for a period no longer than the length of time you studied. In this case 1 yr. 2. You can get a PR visa faster if you go for the opnp International Student With Job Offer Stream and if this program is a postgraduate course. So you don't...

Well, then why don't you contact the nearest embassy? I'm just saying that I never heard about such a requirement.

Yes you can!

Hi guys, What I always wanted to ask is whether these bank statements should be translated to English ("all supporting documents that are not in English or French must be accompanied by a translation.")? E.g I have 2 accounts and each month I get a statement of at least 3 pages that means 2 X 4...

Hi there, Only bank statements are acceptable.

Hi, In my opinion it is not sufficient. You may want to contact CIC directly and ask them. matt

Each rejected visa will decrease your chances I'm afraid.

Canada Visa Questionnaire The following are some of the important questions that the ambassador asks during the interview for the student visa 1. How are you doing? Tip: You don't have to be nervous and answer in a formal way. This question is basically asked to make you comfortable. Fine...

Hi, It is likely that you'll get a negative response such as: "You have not satisfied me that you will leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for your stay because: ... ". It will be clear for the officer that you want to work and settle there as you've already applied for PR (that...
