About a month ago I applied to work at one of the communites to be an assistant to take care of the disabled (with intellectual disabilities). The organization is excempt from LMO. The job description was on the website and I thought I could do it. I passed the interview and a few days later they sent me an offer and a full list of duties and responsibilities.. I was slightly shocked when I saw it. The list is huge.. I don't think I can do it now. Could it be that they are luring people in this way ? I haven't seen the contract yet, I suppose it's on the way, or maybe I'd have to sign it once I arrive? I have no idea. In the emails, they've assured me I could leave at any time, but what if that's a lie? Additionally, I have no college degree and no experience but according to the job classification (NOC 4212 specialty: group home worker) It is usually required. They claim it's not necessary. I'm really confused at this point and very hesitant. The community is also very far from the city, located in the rural area.. It does seem like none of the locals wants to work there so they are hiring foreigners..
I've also asked a friend who's in Canada on a work permit and he said if I come on a temporary work permit, I could find another job then apply for a new work permit and LMO won't be required that way. Is that true? I don't know if I can trust him either, but he claims to have done so..
