I am a U.S. college English teacher currently living as immigrant in Calgary as a 6-month visitor. How to get Work Visa without a job offer? Please help.
If you are an immigrant then you would be able to work. You are just a visitor. If you are a US citizen then look at post doc research positions at universities. You are not eligible for an open work permit unless you have Canadian/PR spouse who is sponsoring you. Or spouse on study or work permit.

At 58 you aren't going to get PR. You can come as a visitor and stay up to 6 months. Immigration is focused on young people, education with Canadian and foreign work experience, Canadian education and fluency in both languages. At 58, you aren't not eligible to submit a profile. You cannot get an open work permit. Look at CUSMA and get professor position at a university.
Let me clarify: As a visitor with 6-months available to stay in Canada, how do I get a work visa to extend my stay. Also, can I extend my stay as a visitor some way?

You are not eligible for an open work permit visa. Is your spouse Canadian? Being a US citizen doesn't give you any advantage. Already told you. If you want to extend your stay as a visitor then apply for a visitor record.
If you can get a post doc research position with University of Calgary then look into that. Assume you have a PhD.

I'm not sure you recognize how your tone is coming across, but it's curt and bordering on rude. While I appreciate the information, your delivery is harsh.
Thank for the information you've given so far. I will continue my research.

To be fair this is just realistic. Visiting Canada and assuming you can stay longterm without doing the research before arriving is what drives most Canadians crazy. Had you done any research before entering Canada you would have known that remaining longterm or getting a WP likely won’t be possible and especially within your timeframe. Your only hope is if you qualify to work under CUSMA. That still doesn’t provide a longterm future in Canada so you would need to leave eventually.

It is not rude. It is realistic because you are 58 years old. Being a US citizen means nothing. People are retiring or thinking of retirement. Canadian immigration is for young people in their 30s with Canadian and foreign work experience and fluency in French and English. You aren't eligible for an open work permit. Look into CUSMA but you will need a job offer.
