Hey Everyone! I'm scouting through the posts trying to find ideas about getting an Arranged Employment. Unfortunately, I didn't find one yet.

Please communicate your questions here. My question is, can we really find legit job offers at websites like jobbank.gc.ca, workopolis etc? If we can, are employers posting jobs there really willing to hire a foreign worker?

Thanks ahead for those who can offer answers... ;)

Truth is..the clause of Arranged Employment is purely for assisting those who are already in Canada on a work permit. There are thousands of such backlogs which need to be cleared first. Hence they are given priority rather than a foreign worker
 
I concur. Finding employment as a foreigner is hard and mostly limited to low or non skilled jobs.

Canada only brought in 150,000 temporary foreign workers last year (considerably lower than previous years). It seems the labor shortages here are lessening.

Even getting permission to hire a foreign worker is difficult because there is usually a suitable Canadian to do the job.

PS: I've never found a job listing on the Job Bank or any big time website like Monster or Career Builder that hires with a LMO. Kijiji is the only place I've ever seen any options, which are very few, and mostly for nannies.
 
I also had the same question, however, since I have got some ideal with this ost, is it better to apply under fswp in may2013

Thanks! Cleared my mind a lot. Actually, I was considering it to expedite my FSW application. Why would the cic post links to Jobsites anyways if there's no chance at all of getting a job there. That's quite confusing.

By the way, what if my Canadian Citizen relative would be willing to offer me a job as nanny or something to her 4 year old son. Will I be able to use that as AEO if ever she gets a positive LMO??? Just a thought. ;D

Is the noc level of Nanny acceptable for FSW applications? I do have more than two years of paid experience even though not as a nanny, but as a nurse. :D I don't know if they could downgrade the noc to that. Is that possible at all?

Two years full time as a nanny should let you meet CEC qualifications. That's another 14 months (right now).
