Thank you! Such a relief to read this comments. By the way, if I do a 6 month job contract as a programmer in Company A and then immediately after do another 6 month contract with the same company, will that be accepted as the 1 year requirement?

A friend told me that the 1 year work experience must be done in Canada? Does that mean even if I can proof that I have a 1 year work experience in my country, I am not eligible for the program, what the hell?

You're job offer was in Toronto correct?, so logic says you need an Ontario PNP, look here for information: http://www.canadavisa.com/ontario-provincial-nominee-program.html

I heard some consultants charge you 3000 dollars and get you PR status + job offer.

Whats your experience with Ontario PNP? -Time it takes; -Deny probability; -Major concerns when applying; They have this as a requirement: "Have at least 2 years of work experience (or have appropriate registration in Ontario, if applying for a position in a regulated occupation)." Can we get...

Yes, sorry I was meant to write about the programs and not permits, my bad and fixed. @topic: This are the programs that do give you PR status: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/apply.asp

Work Permits usually can last up to 4 years, if your job offer will last that length then you are in a really good path. After 3 years of living in Canada with Permanent Resident Card (this you can apply once you have Permanent Resident Status, which you have if you are accepted into one of...

I know it's an old topic, so sorry if I am breaking any forum rules. Is this list of contractors still viable or out of date?

Depending on the country you're from you can stay in Canada for a limited time... in my case I can stay legally in Canada for 6 months without any permits or visa... But if they ask you to leave then you probably have to. Also your case might be difficult cause from what I assume you have no...

I see, thanks for your reply, very useful. Is there an official form for the letter written by the employer that must be used? Also how much evidence does the VO need to believe it was a paid job? (bank extracts with job salary or simple declaration from the employer suffice?)

Thank you scyla, I will definitely buy you a beer if I ever make it to Canada, might take some years though :S

I am focusing in to the Federal Skilled Program. Which programs if any do accept internships as work experience?

Canadian ladies i will love you if that gets me into Canada :P Seriously, i wasn't aware that so many people did this it's amazing how crazy that is, but from what I learned canadians are so unlucky in their relationships :S

For the Federal Skilled Worker we need to match our education level against Canadian standards, this is done by paying some certified entity that will "translate" your education into a Canadian education, just like this As anyone ever done it and if so what did you get?

Tough situation... I hope you make it back. GOOD LUCK!

Anybody knows if the Visa officer would accept an Internship (non paid, but bachelor degree related) as work experience? If not, would they if it was paid? Also, what kind of problems can the Visa Officer encounter on the work experience provided section? I don't see many cases where permits...

Ok, if you look here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/pr-card/apply-who.asp The first requirement for being eligible to apply for a PR Card is having a permanent resident status. If you click the link with information on it, you will end up here...

Time to change you're nickname... CONGRATZ

An independent work contract is a work contract that says everything you do in the job is your responsibility, if you get hurt on the job you are the only one responsible, money wise the payment is total to the person, so no cuts or taxes are involved to. I know there is vast information on the...

John, I don't think so, cause i think the only place they give you the work permit card is on the airport, now imagine you do apply online while you're in Canada and get accepted, you will have to go to the airport and ask if you could you're work permit... I think the authorities there would...
