I am from Nepal but currently in Sydney. I came to Canada on student visa on 2007 but I became sick which was my bad luck. I was hospitalised for bipolar in 2009 and start taking medicine and became well. I started as a kitchen hand job since 2007. Then i start doing chef job. But in 2012 doctor was trying to change medicine and i became very sick. That time i applied to extend student visa. I had all the option to apply but i saw different thing in email then i assumed i have no option to apply. This happened because of an eye illusion because doctor was trying to change medicine. Then i worried too much , immigration has told me to change visa and apply health visa but i was so sick that time that I was unable to decide and i overstayed in Sydney. Later doctor change me back to old medicine and i am perfect again. But it was already too late. Bipolar is related to mind and if i don't have correct medicine , I will get eye illusion, cannot sleep, cannot concentrate but with perfect medicine i can do everything. I started to get good job offers, many restaurant offer me job sponsorship as well which leads to pr after i am overstayed. On 2017 i applied for protection visa then i got Bridging visa e so i am legal now from illegal. My life turned upside down because of doctors only one experiment. I can do everything with medicine. I used to work 60 hours per week. But i have never worked in tax. I have 10 years of experience as a chef, cafe all round, catering chef, baker. I can handle whole catering business with profit. I have in depth knowledge. If i had pr in Australia i can run my own restaurant with guaranteed profit because i know the taste of western people. If i didn't have capacity or skills to work then how did i survive in Sydney since 12 years. Nobody will hire you without skills. Yes i take medicine. I am diagnosed with bipolar , but i have never argued with anyone, worked 60 hours per week, always punctual but i have no recognition of my skills because i overstayed and that not my fault either it has happened coincidentally. So i created a website about myself and added pictures and videos of my work. Now I got 5 job offers from Canada. I am like semi disable but i can work hard. Does Canadian government discriminate me that i have bipolar? Would someone please give me some suggestions?

Are you currently in Canada (Sydney N.S) or outside Canada (Sydney, Australia)?
If you are in Canada with a protection visa (assuming you mean you were approved as a Person in Need of Protection) and a work permit, then I don't see what the question is - you have the right to live and work in Canada. Your medical condition has nothing to do with it.
If that's not the situation, please clarify what you're asking.
sorry mistake I came to Sydney on student visa on 2007. I m still in Sydney. I don't have protection visa . I applied for protection visa and got bridging visa e. I haven't got the decision yet. But it's too time consuming to wait and i have no work rights. only legal
Exactly what kind of visa/permit do you have right now? Did you apply for an Open Work Permit? if you have filed a claim for refugee protection, and you're waiting for your hearing, you are eligible to apply for a work permit. You will still need to meet the other eligibility criteria - one of which is a medical exam. If you are able to function properly with the correct medication, your chances of passing the medical exam are quite high.
However, your situation seems complex and I would recommend you talk to a professional. Did someone help you when you filed your paperwork for refugee protection?
Ok I see in your other post you say you're in Australia. That's completely different.
Are you in Canada or in Australia. Which country did you apply to for refugee protection?
If you are currently in Australia and have asked for protection there, your chances of getting a work permit to Canada are basically zero .

I want to clear again. If you are asking about canadian work permit? i don't have that now . If you are asking about Australia visa than currently i am in bridging visa e , but no work rights. I have applied for work rights recently but the problem is they are taking too long time. So Now i am waiting for protection visa decision as well as work right decision. Yes I have flied a claim for refugee protection and waiting for the reply. You said you are eligible to apply for work permit. Do you mean in Australia or in Canada i am not clear. But i have already applied for work rights in Australia and waiting. I haven't applied for work permit for Canada? But people are showing willingness to hire me in canada because i have shown them my work pics and videos through my website. But i have told them. I want to talk to immigration lawyers first but u know they are costly so i try to get free hints here. I take medicine but many people say it is far better to diagonised and cured rather than undiagonised. Thats what science and doctor says. I have filed my paperwork for refugee protection by myself

Hi 21Goose what if there is a serious very deep reason for not returning home. My medicine are not available in my country and if available either i cannot afford by Nepalese currency.. And nobody wants to be disable. Thus i told Australian Immigration if you changed me to any cheaper medicine medicine , i will go home on the spot. Today i overstayed because doctor was testing me with cheaper medicine. Because of only one mistake. If u ask me truth i dangerously hate refugee. What if a disable person wakes up and try to do something by himself is that wrong? Isn't there humanity? Do you think i don't want to go to my country? I haven't seen my family members since 12 years. And i have skill either. If my medicine was available in my country i have been gone home long time before . When i was in Nepal i didn't use to take medicine. But now i have to. So what's my fault. I have paying my medicine since 12 years and i never need anyone help either. But where is the humanity
Unfortunately Canada is not an option for you at this time because of your long overstay in Australia and your refugee status there. A work permit to Canada will not be approved.
You should focus on your refugee claim in Australia and on becoming a permanent resident there. Once you are an Australian PR, it may be possible to get a Canadian work permit approved.
Something else you should be aware of is that many Canadian job offers are fake / scams. Once you have Australian PR and are looking for a job offer in Canada, you need to be extremely careful. If anyone asks you for money - or offer you a job that includes food, accommodations and transport - it's a scam.
hi i have applied for protection visa and protection visa don't allow me to go home, may be need to wait another 5 to 6 years to get pr and until that time my parents might be dead. I dangerously hate Australia. I am head chef and doing dish washer because there is no work rights. And a teen comes and teaches me lots of stupid thing even in dish washing. And most of the Aussie is drug addicts, i work with shit people . they do so many mistake but i say nothing and say oh ya ya you are correct but inside i am burning because wrong is wrong . I have long experience so i know better than them.. But i stay silent because i don't want to argue. Next under pay. Australia may be heaven for other but for me it is like a hell. I have one of the wrost experience in Sydney. I got job offer from Canada because i m skilled full person. But when there is no work rights life is so hard, I used ti work as a chef but that restaurant is closed now i am working as a dish washer. There is so much hate and anger inside me. One of the worst experience of my lifetime. It's my bad luck otherwise it is far better to work in another country with full rights rather than working as a slave. Even animals are better treated. If i had no skill i won't get 5 job offers from canada. But unfortunate.
Again, a Canadian work permit is not an option for you at this time. It doesn't matter that you have job offers and what your situation is in Australia. A Canadian work permit will not be approved due to your overstay history and refugee status.
The only option you would have right now of moving to Canada would be to qualify to immigrate through an economic immigration program like Express Entry based on your language abilities, skilled work experience, funds available to establish yourself in Canada, level of education and other factors. If you want to look into this, information is in the link below. Express Entry is a points-based program and right now you need to have 470+ points to be selected:

Thanks for the link. If somebody give me trillion dollar to live in Australia either i will never stay here. If somebody die for me and give life to me either and say me to stay in australia , i won't stay here. Sooner or later i have to exit from here. any way thanks
