Inquiry

[Will Iam]

Hi,. I'm currently working here in South Korea, this 2nd week of January 2014 I'm going back to Philippines. Anyone, can help me on how to apply for work in Canada.

I hope you guys can help me with my inquiry. God Bless..

You'll first need to find an employer in Canada who is willing to offer you a job. That employer will then need to obtain an approved Labour Market Opinion. Once you have the job offer and approved LMO, you can then apply for a work permit. If you find an employer quickly, this process will still take several months to complete.

There are no employers on this forum. If you want to find an employer and job, then I would suggest that you take a look at web sites such as the Canadian Job Bank, workopolis.ca and monster.ca.

At scylla: if ever I already have a job offer and approved LMO,.. Where can I secure for a work permit or job permit? Is it to a Canadian embassy or Philippine Overseas Employment Administration?

Work permit instructions are here:

You'll need to select the Philippines as your processing office. You won't be in South Korea long enough for the work permit to be approved.

Processing times are in the link below. You're looking at around 7 months.
