Setting Up Job Interviews While Visiting Canada

[jaks85]

I'm wondering what the legality is of visiting Canada and trying to set up job interviews. I am a US citizen, so I don't need a visa to enter, but would be looking to stay for a few months. I wouldn't be actually working, but I would be trying to solicit job offers to help with my visa application. Is this allowed?

Yes

I dont see any issues here. You are entering Canada legally as a visitor and trying to get a job offer during the stay. You will not be working as a visitor and the only issue would be if the company is willing to wait so long for your PR app to go through. i also think the job offer needs to be on the AEO list

Sure it is legal.. been to Vancouver in July, made lots of appointments with executive level staff, just to get my name and face out. I am still in touch with them via email. You never know when paths are crossed. Dont forget, it is not what you know, it is who you know!!
