Question about time worked in Canada.

[stevorabs]

Hi!

So to make a long story short, I have a friend who came to Canada 7 years ago, worked full time in various jobs (mainly hotels) but now has the horrible situation of his visa running out. On top of that he has been told he can't get residency because his lack of skilled work (he is a senior staff at a hotel vallet).

My question is, is there a way of making time spent working (full time, paying taxes, etc) work in his favour or is it all down to a points system that ignores time worked?

Thank you!

if he works in alberta i think they might have pilot project for some specific jobs in hotel. if he works in saskatchewan, manitoba or ontario then i dont think he can get any help to apply PR because of low skill job. best is upgrade his position by telling his employer and then apply or find any employer who is willing to help him for PR.get advice from immigration lawyer (try to go qualified one not a ordinary agents who just do
practice for money and lack of knowledge)
