Can you find an employer as an aesthetician or hairdresser? You can't be in the live in caregiver program without the necessary training certificate or at least one year experience as nanny or senior caregiver. You have to obtain an LMO from an employer and you can do that while you are still in Canada.

hello everyone!.. can you tell me how to apply for a visitor's visa or temporary work permit? I'm a registered nurse and I wanted to go there directly so that I can find an employer, even as a caregiver or a licensed practical nurse. And also, if I am only a visitor, will I have a hard time finding a work and registering my papers there? I mean how long will it take before I get hired? I believed that LPN's are in demand in your country right now?

Honestly, I have a difficult time finding a work here in our country.

Hope you could help me. :(

Hope this helps. You can apply as a caregiver. You have to look for an employer who'll apply for LMO for you. But as a nurse I think you can apply under PNP or skilled worker if you have at least a year of experience as a nurse.

I don't know if working as a hairdresser is consider skilled, but if you can find an employer who can get you a positive LMO then you can apply for a WP.

Hi, I am a musician and in F1 visa at the moment. I don't have proof for work experience since all I did was teaching private lessons. That says I can't apply for skilled worker right? Can I get a visitor visa and look for a job while I am in Canada, then apply for TWP later if I get an offer?

Hope you can help me to answer these questions !!

Have you searched Canadian jobsites as to the availability of the type of job you'd be doing should you move to Canada?

I have searched in job bank and found a number of employers who are looking for music teacher. So I am quite positive about getting a job but not sure how complicated the paper work would be. And I know I will have to make in-person interview. That's why I'm thinking of getting visitor visa first.

As long as you can show proof of ties with the US (you are a student there, right?), there should not be any problem. And should you find an employer who's willing to get an LMO for you, get a positive result, you can then apply for your visa/work permit in the US when you go back. All the best :)

No, and CIC will not give you a work permit for it either.

thanks again! you senior member are HUGE help!
Why not try to see if you can find an employer (salons, beauty shops) who's willing to submit a LMO in your name. Search the websites for job openings, while you are still in Canada; apply and go for interviews if you find somebody willing to hire a foreign worker. And since you are from a "visa free" country go to the nearest POE and get your work permit, if and when a positive LMO is obtained. Note that it takes a while for advertising and recruitment efforts to be shown before the employer can file for LMO. The key is start searching for prospective employers now.
