Hello everybody.
My situation is kinda different from what I've been reading on this forum so far so I am in need of help clarifying some important questions bugging me.
So I graduated with a BSc. Economics with a specialization in Financial Accounting from Russia. I got into web development and am self-taught. I built my online portfolio with all my personal projects on there because I don't have any experience in an agency or freelance. Basically a newbie at this. Recently, I just got an offer from a Canadian advertising company in Montreal as a UI and Creative developer. I am in the process of applying for a Temporary Work Permit/Visa (after I get the LMIA and job contract from the employer). Now, I know all the processes involved but my question is this:
1). Seeing that I don't have any work experience, what are my chances of getting the temporary work permit/visa ? I ask this because I will be applying in person and not online and in the document checklist, there was no mention of proving work experience or getting references or referrals. However, in the application form, I do still have to fill in employment experience( which I do not have). How do you suppose I go about this and how does this affect my chances of getting the temporary work visa/permit? Has anyone experienced or knows someone who has experienced something like this before?
2). Secondly, in the document checklist, I do have to submit proof that I am eligible for the job. How do I do this with my current credentials?
Please any help will be greatly appreciated.
