Hello,
My sister is a teacher in another country. She applied for her teacher's license in Canada and is currently awaiting the evaluation results. However, she applied for a teaching position at my school on a First Nation Reserve where we are always short staff. I spoke to my principal and she was interviewed via skype and won the competition (to be honest I don't think anyone else had applied). She has received a letter of offer, and a contract. In the offer letter it did say that her salary was the set amount until she receive her teaching license from the teacher regulation authority in the province. It also states that she will have insurance benefits and accommodation will be provided and the rent will be deducted from her biweekly salary.
We are at the stage now where we are applying for the work permit, and we do not have a LMIA as none was done. However, we have created the profile after selecting the "LMIA exempt" option. There is an IMMI5802 form but it is listed in the optional documents section. Besides that, we have uploaded all the other documents, including the current letter of employment, copies of her qualifications, employment records, and the necessary forms. We are however worried that she might not get the work permit since there was no LMIA. What are her chances? She already have a visitor's visa, do you think it would make a difference if she come to Canada as a visitor and apply for the work permit from here?
