Good evening everyone, I need someone to educate me. I applied for a job through a certain agency, and the agency wrote to tell me that due to the COVID 19 the the position I applied for in Europe won't be available. But they told me there's a volunteer job in Canada that if I want to do a volunteer job, they can assist me in that. I accepted the offer, and they have started to arrange for a contract to be signed. But currently in my country the Canada embassy is closed but according to them the visa will be applied through online. But I want to know would they give a letter of approval for me to get to Canada before the visa is placed in my passport or how do I get the visa in my passport? Kindky help me please.
Volunteer job
- Thread starter Lovely44
- Start date
Honestly, They did not charge me any money. They said when I get to Canada, 10 percent of my duration of contract will be paid to them, that their company does not take prepayment. That's got me convinced some how
So are any one of accommodation, food or flights being provided given if they are then generally will be a scam. Also due to COVID virtually everything is on hold now anyway but what exactly is this volunteer job and who is paying for the work permit / TRV application which of course is not free ?
The volunteer job is food packaging, picking of farm produce, the employer provides for accommodation, feeding, flight, and health insurance. All these are to be provided by the employer. And ever since the process started, they never asked me for any payment. They made me went got medicals and also did a working insurance policy and all was emailed to them. Just yesterday, they emailed to tell me to provide my contact control person his address, phone, so that should in case of emergency they will contact the fellow. They also told me my documents has been forwarded and they are waiting for the contract to be signed.
This was what they sent to me : Volunteer to Canada. Responsibilities include - assistance in organizing order in times of crisis from charitable foundations and non-profit organizations:

how they will process ypur visa even from 2 to 3 months applications are on the hold or delayed due to covid 19 .even i have to postpond my tour i have already visa because its ban travling except essentials travelers etc
According to them there are exceptions on foreign workers. Even at the immigration website, they stated that they have open the labor market for foreign workers to travel to Canada. And the work the person is coming to do, should be a work that will help the growth of the economy. But tourist and other purposes are not exempted.
Actually it's not for free, they will take ten percent of the duration of the contract. But they are not taken any prepayment from me until I am there and start to work. I will still be careful though
