So, i'm 19 and my boyfriend (common-law partner) is 22. He is a Canadian Citizen and we are planning on applying Common-law. This isnt my issue. What is my issue is that I would like to work. The thing is, I dont even know if i can even get a permit to work. We both live in Quebec, but it's deffinely driving distance to Ottawa so getting a job in Ottawa would be ideal because Im not fluent enough in French.

I dont really think I make the requirements for a work visa. I have not finished high school and I have never had a job before. Unless my boyfriend has a friend who can hire me to work and file for an LMO then I think my chances are pretty slim. Thoughts?

You are right.  Even with a friend, it's hard to get an LMO for a low skilled job when there are people unemployed who might want this job too.  Do your sponsorship.  Hopefully it's fast.
