A question that hopefully someone can answer...
My husband and I are Canadian. Recently a friend of ours from the US came up to visit us for a while. He loved it here, and decided to move and stay here. His parents mailed his things to him and he was given a job here.
Now he is currently working already, and spoke to his employer about getting a Work Permit, which they agreed upon and said they would help him. Well, of course the employer is dodging the situation, so we are going to do things ourselves.
Is he still eligible to get a work permit even though he is already in Canada and employed? He wants to stay and work here...possibly take permanent residency someday..but we're unsure of how to proceed..
