Dear All,

I made a big mistake about 3 years ago, I got a non paid work experience in Canada during 6/7 weeks landing with with a tourism passeport.

Three years later, I'm presenting my PR application.

The fact is that I was not arrested during this period, I just finished my work experience and got back to my country. I took some information and like i've got no criminal charges I cannot pretend for a rehab.

So I don't know what to think about this, will my file be a problem for the immigration officers?

Thank you for your answers,

Bye

is it still work if you were not paid for it.

Also, i have been to the US before for work purpose but on a tourist visa. It is totally legal. Does Canada have a different visafrom a tourist visa for those who come on short term work trips?

Hello,

No I wasn't paid for it, well I watched on the CIC site and I did need to have a temporary visa to work...
I tried to read the immigration act see it this kind of case was written on it but I can"t find what I'm looking for...

If somebody know, I would thank him a lot for his/her answer

Byee

With all due respect Rupeshhari,

How come a tourist visa can be used for working? Pardon my Ignorance, as this is the first time I am hearing this.

Dillan_op4 ,
How are you going to prooooove this experience.? If I were u, I will leave that scenario totally out.Unless you R in dire need of the time-period which could back-fire on you. If I were u , I would have weighed the Pros and Cons before taking any further action.

Thank you for the "Ausfuhrilches Information"
So it is Business Tourist visa and not the Normal tourist visa.
