Hello

I have a couple of questions about the Federal Skilled Trades program.
I'm currently in Canada on a working holiday visa and have Belgian citizenship. I would like to stay in Canada, and have several years of work experience as a cook, including almost a year in Canada while on my WHV.
My current visa expires on August 24, so I'm running a bit low on time.

Now that the moratorium on the Food services industry is lifted, I'll have to look for a job with an available lmo/lmia. Is it smarter to apply for a TFW visa, to buy me more time, and from there on apply for the FSTC? Can I use the same lmo that I used for a TFW application for a FSTC application while I still work at that place? Would it be smarter to apply directly for FSTC?

So long story short: 2 months left in Canada on current visa, and wanna find an LMO job as cook. What would you guys advise if I find one?
