need help please! from philippines wanting to visit canada

[unemployed]

i want to visit my friend in canada as well as work work there temporarily until my visiting visa expires.

however, i'm afraid that i don't have strong documents to prove to the visa officers that i will go back to my country.

i am an unemployed nurse here in my country. but i already have savings (approximately 300,000 php) in the bank from my previous work in saudi. i dont have properties and all. i only have money! i plan to buy a farm lot (its land title as proof) however, its too much expensive nowadays! what will i do so there will be a bigger chance for me to be approved in my application as tourist??

please give me advice. thank you so much in advance!

You can't work while on a visit visa - it's illegal.

If you want to work while in Canada, then you'll need a work permit. To obtain a work permit you'll need to first find an employer who is willing to give you a job offer and then that employer will have to obtain an approved Labour Market Opinion. You can then apply for a work permit.
