employment difficulty?

[xthebending]

hello all.

my girlfriend and i are from new york and wish to temporarily live and work in montreal. we each only have a high school diploma and some work experience. my question is is it hard to find employment at any small jobs (low wage) being an immigrant looking to be hired on a temporary work visa? do employers generally turn away from hiring in such case?

thank you, any help would be appreciated

I am not so sure about Canada specifically, but in most countries it should be easy to find low-paying jobs for anybody.

Unless you have a specific skill that is in demand in Canada, you will find it extremely difficult to get an work permit approved to work in Canada.  You know that you need a work permit for Canada?  That you would also require approval from the Quebec government in the form of a CAQ  You should start reading at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/index.html  You may wish to look at the SWAP program to see if you qualify for a 6 month work permit.  http://www.swap.ca/#

Most low paying jobs are unskilled and you won't get a work permit approved for them.
