Hello everyone! I hope all are doing well and safe. I am willing to visit Canada at my brother's place. He is already a Canadian Citizen now. He resides in Saskatoon. Please advise what kind of job is easier to find during my visit. I am comfortable to work in any type of labour category as well. Thanks in advance.
Visit Canada at my brother's place.

You should assume it may be quite difficult to change your status from visitor to worker.
In order to do this, you first have to find an employer in Canada who is willing to hire you. That employer must then obtain an approved LMIA before you can apply for a work permit. The LMIA process is quite long and expensive for the employer and for this reason you'll find many employers aren't willing to go through the process. If you find an employer who is willing to give you a job offer and who can obtain an approved LMIA, you can then apply for a work permit.
If you want to try to find a job, make sure you have enough funds to live in Canada for a minimum of 6-8 months without working. Also plan for the fact that it may not be possible to secure a job and you'll need to return home. Make sure you take out travel insurance since you will not be covered for any health care while in Canada as a visitor.
Good luck.
Thank you. However, my brother can send me invitation to come. Since I will get sponsor letter from my brother, I can stay with him during my visit. Any thoughts?
Invitation letter is not a sponsor letter. You will need to show evidence that you can support yourself during the visit.
Are you vaccinated and with what vaccine? You are never guaranteed entry to Canada or guaranteed a 6 month stay. If there are concerns that you are trying to look for work in Canada and you are not just visiting you can be denied entry or given a very short stay. As others have indicated, your plan may not work out. Would warm you that paying for a job offer or job is illegal although there are some consultants and employers are doing this. If discovered you should expect that you may have difficulty securing status in Canada again. I know ,many are tempted but it is not a good idea.
