Hello, is anyone else looking for a job in canada so they apply for a job and then receive an employer specific as per the new policy allowing visitors who were here before August 24th , 2020?
Please let me know so I can know what’s happening with people in my situation! Thanks

It's not really clear what you are asking.

The process hasn't really changed that much. You still need a job offer and an approved LMIA from the employer in order to get an approved work permit.

The only thing that has changed is the ability to apply from within Canada.

Most employers will not go through the time and expense of an LMIA. The employer also needs to prove that no Canadian can do the job. Given the higher unemployment rate it will be more difficult to get an LMIA and WP approved. High skilled jobs are the most common employers willing to go through LMIA like IT jobs.
