I'm a little overcome as I am writeing this ......I'll start by saying my boyfriends parents just moved over from Germany this past febuary.His father was guranteed a job and his work visa was issued out to him without a hitch.His wife could work under his visa. When they came to Edmonton shortly afterwards (after leaveing everything behind and takeing there belongings) the company that he was supposed to start work with told him they wouldnt be hireing untill May. After another inquiry the answer is now December. What are these people to do? I have called every immigration office in the phone book and am getting a different answer everytime.The biggest response I hear is that is order for him to change his work permit it will cost him thousands of dollars to do so, well thats unrealistic considering they where guranteed a job and relaying on that for an income,and now after 3 months are almost without any money. Or secondly they have to get an LMO issued from an employer and both have to follow under a skilled trades worker (which they do have).Where do you find employers in this economy that will do this?Is is true is costs thousands of dollars to get a work visa /permit ? I am absolutely and utterly fed up with this immigration system .....i need someone for once to give me the right advice and am hopeing i will get it here ......Thanks ....Tara.
