Need help figuring out work permit and lmo. From states.

Hello,
I just arrived here from the states about a month ago, and am in need of a work permit. I am really struggling to find an employer that is willing to wait the necessary amount of time it takes for the LMO to process as well as work permit. I have experience as an Administrative Assistant, Warehouse Material Handler/ Supervisor, as well as Management. The immigration consultant I talked to last week told me that she couldn't guarantee me a job, and that if she did the paperwork it would cost me 3000 dollars. ACK! I don't have that kind of money. Any employers interested in talking with me, or any advice from anyone would be fantastic. I live in Edmonton, Alberta. Thank you!!

Search job sites and keep applying. You don't need a consultant; you need an employer willing to hire a temporary foreign worker, i.e. advertise for the position and then willing to file LMO in your favour.
