Using working visa to enter canada to apply other employer
- Thread starter thess_simple
- Start date
The port of entry officers sometimes call the employers to verify if the employers are waiting for a foreign worker. But if you can find a new employer willing to apply for LMO in your name you can use the visa (on or before it expires) to enter Canada.

so you mean if new employer give me LMO, that paper is i will show to the port officer? or do i need to re apply again on canada embassy?
Yes, you have the TRV which is needed to enter Canada, and with a valid LMO and contract, you can obtain your WP upon entry under the name of the new employer.

How about the work permit i am holding, it say its only valid from the employer written on that, if i found new employer, is it means i need to apply new work permit for new employer even i have already visa??
if i will apply again on canada embassy for work permit, how long the processing of LMO and work permit?

Not familiar with OEC. You don't have to apply for a WP from the Phils. You can use the new LMO and contract to get your WP when you enter Canada.

You have to have the support of the employer named in your current LMO. Some POE officers will call the prospective employer and ask if they are execting any foreign worker. Sure you can look for another employer once here, somebody who'll apply for LMO in your name and then you can send your WP app to Vegreville.

I am already here on canada..my employer get us on phils but till now we dont start work. If i got new employer here what i need to do> what are the processing i need to do
Start looking for prospective employers. Google jobs in Canada (the job bank would be a good place to start).

once you find employer willing to obtain LMO. They need to advertise in a job bank for 2 weeks. Your employer will apply LMO in service canada. Wait for the results 4 - 6 weeks then you can apply work permit in alberta. You cannot start work until you get your new workpermit. Btw what job are you applying for?
thanks job seeker and wsongco...

what job did you apply in your initial work permit? For cargiver you need one yr experience or 6 months caregiver certificate. Find a job that relates to your initial wp.
Or you can enrol in a 6 months caregiver course while in canada...when is the expiration of ur wp?
