Business Visitor

[Jedes88]

Hi all,

I will be visiting Canada for two months and my visa is Business Visitor valid for 6 months. My question is can I apply for work temporarily after my business assignment? What step should I do?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Before you can apply for a work permit, you must first find an employer who is willing to offer you a job. That employer will then have to submit a Labour Market Opinion for approval (as part of this process, they will have to prove they were unable to find a Canadian to hire for the job and for this reason must hire you). If the Labour Market Opinion is approved, you can then apply for a closed work permit. ("Closed" means that you can only work for that employer.)

Thank you for your reply scylla.
This mean that I cannot apply for work permit without an employer?
How or where can I find an employer? Is there any published job openings in this forum?

That's right. You can't apply for a work permit without an employer.

You can search for jobs on online job sites such as monster.ca.

There are no published job openings on this forum.

Hi all,

I arrived here in Canada last 23rd of October and staying here until 16th of December. I'm planning to visit my friend in US to spend Christmas. Can I apply for the US visa here? Is there anyone applied for US visa here in Canada and get approved?

I have read in the immigration website that most visitor were suggested to apply in their country because numerous were being denied.

Thanks in advance.

LMO is now called LMIA. Otherwise no change. Generally speaking, it's next to impossible to find an employer willing to go through the LMIA process.

as a visitor you can start any business in CA or no like you have no intentions to live there but you can register as a partner and can go and work legally or it is also not possible?

You cannot do work of any kind - paid or unpaid.
