I am a visitor who has been here in Canada for a couple months now and I recently applied for an extension and succeeded. However, I only have until mid-April as my passport expires then and I would love to stay here and work. I also recently had my daughter here. What are my options for staying, and getting a job? How do I proceed? I urgently need some help and advice. BTW, I am a teacher with over 10 yrs experience.
Look for an employer willing to hire you and going through "hiring a temporary foreign worker" (ad, LMO). Once a positive LMO is obtained, you can send your application for the WP at a visa/consulate office outside Canada, the US being the closest. You also have to have a new Passport considering your passport is expiring.

Hi everyone,
I am a visitor also and already applied for extension but the decision has not been made(Im still waiting for it).
I have found an employer and he already submitted the application for my LMO.
What are the possible things that will happen or Are there anything should I do?
Any help or idea Pls?

With the positive LMO send your application for the initial WP at a consulate/visa office in the US together with copies of your supporting papers (that qualifies you for the job or position) and a copy of the receipt paid for your application to extend your stay in Canada.

I need an advice is the u.s consulate will give me a entry visa for my interview? please could someone answer me

There's no guarantee the US consulate will approve a visa to allow you to attend the interview. The most you can do is apply and hope for the best.santhai22 said:Hi!
