Hi All, I am also going to Canada as a post doc. I have been waiting 4 weeks now to get my work permit, and am getting nervous because my work contract starts next week. The processing time for work permits in my country was 5 weeks when I applied. Everyone here seems to be saying that post...

Ok, so similar stuff to when you apply outside of the country, makes sense. And if you don't have all the right documents, they'll let you enter as a tourist and you have to apply again, do you know..? Thanks!

Thanks for you answer! Sorry, I have a follow-up question. For applying at the POE, what kind of documents are needed? For applying outside of Canada there is a long list of forms and documents one needs to show, but I couldnt find any information about what to do for getting the work permit...

Hi all My situation: I am currently in Canada as a visitor, visiting my partner (who is here on a temporary work permit) and have got a job offer for a position starting on the 1st of November. My employer is currently applying for an LMIA. I have less than two months to apply for a visa so I...

Oh great, thanks!

We've lived together for more than two years, however we were long distance for four months earlier in the year when my partner had moved to Canada and I hadn't joined him as a visitor yet. This website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=346&top=14 says you can't have...

Hi all, I have a work contract starting in Canada on the 1st of November. Problem is, I have a flight booked already, arriving in Canada on the 11th of October. Can I enter and get my work permit at immigration when I arrive, or is three weeks before the start of working too early? Is there an...

Dear All, I have a work contract starting in Canada on the 1st of November. Problem is, I have a flight booked already, arriving in Canada on the 11th of October. Can I enter and get my work permit at immigration when I arrive, or is three weeks before the start of working too early? Is there...

Thank you, I'm aware of that. I have a PhD, and there are a lot of foreigners employed in the kind of jobs I'm looking for in Canada, due to having very specific skill sets.

Thanks very much for your response! Ok, then to be safe I will book a return and say I'm just visiting. Another question, if by the time I go to Canada, I have been invited to come for a job interview, would it be acceptable to give that as a reason to come? Or does it look suspicious if I am...

Maybe I should add: I am an Australian citizen and I would arrive with an ETA not a visitor visa.

Hi all, My partner moved to Canada last November and is working there with a Work Permit. I have stayed behind in Germany for a few months to finish my work here, my contract here finishes at the end of March. My plan is to go to Canada as a visitor in April and look for a position in Canada. I...
