French citizen eta and also inland work permit?

[diamant10]

We have a close french citizen friend coming to visit us in alberta canada. We had told her to apply for the working holiday visa so she could gain some $ while here.

however when i look online that looks over quote. The skilled worker looks like there is room l. she is very smart managing restaurants in paris and speaking english, french, Spanish however not sure she has formal education above the french high school.

is there a way under french mobility for her to-ask for a work permit inland vs waiting for next holiday expierence pool to open ?? I saw they may be allowing this

any insight would be great

You are right about there being no further IEC Working Holiday visas available for this year. The full quota has been given out already. Your friend will need to wait for the program to reopen for next year to participate.

I don't know what you mean by "skilled worker". Are you referring to the Young Professionals visas that are part of the IEC program? To participate in the YP program, you need to have a job offer in Canada and that job offer must be in a field that is related to your past education and work experience and which progresses your career. If she only has a high school education, then I'm not sure this is going to be an option for her.

For French Mobility, she would need to have a job offer from an employer in Canada. This is an employer dependent stream which issues a closed work permit and not an open work permit program.

You and your friend should be aware that she won’t be able to easily work and if she decides to try and get a closed WP will need to find an employer who has LMIA. Your friend should make sure she has the funds to support herself or reassess her plans. If she doesn’t have the funds she also could be denied entry to Canada.
