I have been trying in Ontario for the last 7 months, since Dec end but havn't been able to land up anything and am not sure if I would be able to land up anything here in the future.
Regarding Manitoba, they have an employer direct stream but based on what I have found out - I will most probably be rejected for that because I have close ties to Ontario (I have my brother and relatives here).
I am thinking about Saskachewan PNP. I know I would need to work for min 1 year and then apply for it and I just now have about 8 months left (till March 22, 2013) and again would need an LMO to get my permit extended. I am in a really hot soup now. I have heard from some that some have fakely showed their payroll in Saskachewan to show that they were working there before the rules changed. Is that something you recommend and is that feasible?
Any suggestions please?
Here is what I think about the payroll thing: I was to start my job with Titam alarms as security systems installer in Regina on 3rd may and the contract was signed in February 2012. I was going to drive to Regina from Vancouver on 1st may and i discover 1:30 am in the morning that the rules have changed. I did not go for nay such illegal choice and the only reason is that you screw up one time and there is NO chance you are getting the PR ever. I won't suggest that you go for any such thing. If that is the case, come to Saskatoon as soon as possible. And here is what I suggest. Don't ask for too many suggestions from Abc and Xyz around you. You are the one in the situation and you gotta make the decision fast. If you are really sure that there is no chance in Ontario. I am pretty much sure you will be easily able to find a employer in Saskatoon or any other city in Saskatchewan who can get you to a NOC 0 A or B position in 4-6 months and that should be good enough. Just because HRSDC say that you should apply for LMO 4 months prior to expiry of the permit does not mean that you actually have to do that. If you are able to file the application even 2 months or even less before the expiry of your permit, It should be good enough. In fact considering the situation you are in, delay the application as much as possible. Before making any move, you might wanna call edge immigration in Saskatoon, they are ones I consulted last week. The guy is really nice and trust worthy.
And worst come to worse, there are people in Saskatchewan who can get you the open work permit for 8-10 thousand dollars. So don't worry, all you have to do is stay updated, don't be sluggish as you were that is why you didn't come here in december, lol..
(no hard feelings).. and keep researching. Most probably you will be able to get the LMO through that policy and if not, get the open work permit. And you can always work under the implied status i.e. when you have applied for a work permit to CIC, you are legally allowed to work..
Good luck!!
P.S. I am in almost the same situation. I started working on may 22nd because I quit the job at titan alarms and then realized that i have made a mistake. Anyway, if I apply for my post grad i will get it till 10th of august, 2013. However, I will be eligible to apply for nomination in June's first week, 2 months are not enough for the nomination, so I am looking at that LMO thing too and my employer (Tim Hortons) seem to agreeing with me as they want to retain me too.
