Josh21 said:I dont know why you guys are even suggesting flagpoling. It's quite clear the OP and the others in this thread have just a basic tourist visa. No LMO, No PR, No work permit nothing. Was it really neccessary to bring up the topic at all and confuse them? Tell them straight that they they will have to apply for a skilled worker visa Outside Canada because that's the only way that will realistically work for them. To be perfectly frank though its unlikely that you will be approved any permit at all with your current qualifications.
Because it's allowed and he asked about it. If it wasn't allowed, I would've just said no. The truth is, a lot of people trying to get visitor's visas, then look for a job in Canada once they get here. It's a popular plan, which is one reason the visitor visa is so hard to get. Perhaps unethical, but not illegal.
