Getting a job offer while living outside Canada.

[Has002]

Is there anyone who lives outside Canada and got a job offer , I feel it is nearly impossible with LMO process and other hassles employees face in order to hire someone from outside. Just curious, I'm about to give up my hopes for the 600 points .

I got a job offer when I was outside of Canada. Now I am almost 2 years here.
Before I got the job offer I had already the contacts to my currently employer. ( mostly It doesn't work without visiting your future employer here)
They did the LMO ( LMIA) and I had to do the rest at the embassy of my country after I received the LMO.
I took only 3 months, and after 6 months I arrived in Canada.
Now I am in for the PR.

I got here just 4 months back. My NOC is 2174. I was sponsored LMIA & work permit. I applied for this job from India.

You still have PNP.

E.g. Sask's SINP-EE stream doesn't require active job offer (it does require 60 points out of 100 in their point system, which involves Canadian experience and Sask work history), but it's still subject to SINP's selection. Some other provinces may join later.

Meanwhile, getting a job offer overseas is hard, if possible. Not only employers wants to see you face to face for an interview, going through LMIA process is painful and time consuming and no guarantee. So you gotta be in a very specialized area of your profession

I had experience in a very unique technology. I see lot of experts on this programming language back in India but Canada doesn't have many. That is the reason employer took care of LMIA, work permit and other formalities. Frankly, LMIA was also positive because technology was unique.
I applied for this job via company website and also got in contact with HR thru LinkedIn. That worked well for me. To share timelines, I applied for this job in June 2013(when job was posted as contract), did interview in Feb 2014(employer changed the job type to permanent), LMO filed in April, got an LMIA in August(LMO changed to LMIA) and finally landed in Canada in Nov 2014.

One website I can recommend is workbc.ca. You can filter the job based on TFW jobs.

HTH.

But guys how to apply and which jobs do I apply from outside Canada? Why would employers give an outsider a job offer when theres so many unemployed people there already?

Unique technology....what's what? Mainframes, in memory apps? SAP?

I don't think Mainframes and SAP are unique anymore. The technology is so unique that if I share it in this forum I can be identified. Nobody must have heard it in open market. My previous job thought me this technology and my current employer uses my previous employer tools. That's the maximum I can share

thanks intocanada for sharing your exp. +1 for you
i was only applying to permanent jobs. i think i should look into contract jobs too
and btw i dont see this option of choosing TFW on BC website. may be they have changed the website or i dont see it.
anyone has used this option?
