Hello All,
I'm currently working as a (licensed) civil engineer in U.S.A. I have applied for AINP but unfortunately, couldn't make it all the way through. I have a few potential employers interested in hiring me in Onntario (GTA area, and few others), but none of them have any idea on how the work permit deal works.

Could anyone in here please help me and explain how I/they could apply for Work Permit and finally for the Permanent Residency, and also give me an idea of how much it is going to cost.
It could be very helpful if anyone could at least guide me to where I could get this information.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
SaVa

cic.gc.ca does a good job at explaining the process. You need a LMO with your WP application, but the employer/s interested in hiring you, must show proof that they tried to recruit Canadian citizens or PR before they can apply for a LMO in your favour.
