Nurse as a skilled worker
- Thread starter josinyc
- Start date
Hi,
My wife received a job offer as a nurse from one of the hospitals in Toronto. She received a job offer and a positive LMO. She already processed her working permit here in the Philippines. Now, the question, is it possible for us me and the kids to go follow her, hopefully this summer on a tourist status?

Can anyone tell about the potential hazards of going to Canada on Work Permit? I read somewhere that first 3 months will be the probationary period and if Employer can decide to fire the employe and subsequently work permit will get cancelled. Can anybody get into the discussion on this pls?
Once the employer has gone through the hassle of getting you a work permit, that means he really needs you. He can fire you at any time like any worker, first 3 months without notice, after that with 1 week notice or 2 week notice if you stay long enough but if you do a good job, you don't have to worry about it. Same way you can quit with the same notice he can fire you.
If you did get fired or quit, he can not cancel your work permit. You have until the expiry date of your work permit whether it was one or two years to find another job and get your work permit changed to the new employer. If you brought a spouse, your spouse will be on an open work permit and can take any job and can provide for you while you look for a new job and wait for your work permit to get changed.

Each province has it's own health care system but I think most provinces will cover temporary workers. I know for a fact that we do in Alberta.
f you get a job offer, you would have to google the health care for that province and read up on their rules for coverage. You can ask the employer. If the employer is used to hiring foreigners, he would probably know if they are covered or not.
The provincial health care system covers doctors and hospital visits, necessary surgeries etc. Many jobs also offer supplemental health insurance for medications, dental, vision care etc.

Work permit is dependent on regular renewals, usually every 2 years, and usually tied to an employer. If you want to change employers, you need to get a new labour market opinion and get your work permit changed to the new employer. It means it's harder for you to get a job because it is extra work for the employer to apply for the permit and you can not start working for him right away.
When your work permit expires, it will have to be renewed. A spouse of a temporary worker can get an open spousal work permit so they are not tied to an employer but they are tied to the expiry date of their spouses permit.
Temporary workers might not be covered for health care in every province. I think in Ontario you have to have a permit tied to an Ontario employer so a spouse on a open permit may not be covered. Somebody on this board was in that exact situation.
If a temporary worker wants to buy real estate he will have to make a 25% down payment while a permanent resident or citizen only needs 5%.
A permanent resident is not tied to any renewals or employers, he can work anywhere except possibly at certain government jobs and he can live in Canada as long as he likes. His PR can not be taken away unless if he commits a serious enough crime, fails to fulfill residency requirements or is found to have lied to immigration at some point.
