Work permit while waiting for PR

[peacherama]

Hi
Does anyone know if its possible to get a temp work permit for Canada (as a UK citizen). I'm thinking that while I'm waiting on my PR application to be processed, that I would maybe try to get in on a Temp Work permit, so that I can start my new life asap. I just want to get to Canada, get a job and wait on PR. If only it where that simple!

Thanks

- I guess there is no restriction to apply for a temporary work permit. However, the main factor in this case is that you need to have a job offer in Canada. With that job offer you have to apply for temp. work permit. To obtain a job offer is pretty hard. But you never know until you try!

I wish you good luck. Thank you.

Did you look into getting a PR through a PNP? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/apply-who.asp

It is faster than applying as a skilled worker but you would need a job offer. Even if you already applied as a skilled worker, you can still apply for PNP and withdraw the other one if the PNP is faster.
