I am still waiting for my LMO (9 agonizing weeks...so far). I was just wondering, once you get a positive LMO can you get the work permit at the airport when you arrive in Canada?

Are you from a country whose citizens do not need visa to enter Canada?

If you have the LMO and your job type does not need medicals (not food/health related industries), then you can obtain your WP at the POE.

Yeah, I'm from Norway so I don't need a visa to enter Canada.

hi
I'm new here!
how did you get an employer?

please share info about this...

thanks
Hi Glassy: you have to spend a lot of time looking for the jobs, preparing your resume along Canadian standards, and following up. Sending out masses of resumes probably isn't going to get you much success. You have to contact the employers directly. If you have friends/family who can help you out that would be huge. Otherwise, go on JobBank and see what is advertised. Jobs have to go there for a minimum of 14 days before they can be offered to non-Canadian/non-PR, etc. It is almost a full time job trying to find a job, but I wish you good luck.

OK...here's the real stuff you need to know.....read through these links and search on the Forum (in the white box at the top right of the main forum page.) When you get to the stage of filling out your application, BE SURE to follow the exact instructions in the GUIDE. If they ask for your passport or birth certificate or pay slips, make sure you give them exactly that. If it is absolutely impossible to do something, then include a cover letter to explain exactly what you did to try to provide the necessary documents and supply the best you have. This does not mean it will be accepted, but it may help.

If you are required to send a copy of your passport pages with the application, then it will be rejected without them as it is incomplete.
