Hi
I have a friend who is currently unemployed in the U.K. who wishes to visit Canada. I understand that anyone can visit Canada for six months. At this point, he does not know when he will be returning since he wants to try to find some work here and/or see what its like to live here in Canada.
Couple of questions -
1. Is it better to have a return flight booked - will Canada Customs stop him from entering Canada without one?
2 things with a one way ticket and no residency it quite likely the airline won't board him since they would be responsible to fly him back if he is not admitted. CBSA may refuse, no return ticket, no job at home, looking for work in Canada.
2. Re health insurance - should this be purchased in the U.K?
Yes or on line
3. How difficult is it to get a work visa if you are here visiting in Canada?
These days, with particular skills, extremely difficult as the employer has to obtain a Labour Market Opinion that they are no citizens or permanent residents available for job. Then your friend would have to apply Outside Canada for a work permit.
4. Is there a website that hires people from the U.K. and or others?
No
5. I have read about Burlach - is there an age restriction - this person is 46 years of age.
It is called Bunac and he is over 30, so not eligible.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
