Hi,

I'm new to forum and considering going to Canada and wonder if anyone with experience can help me.I am from the U.k and im considering going to Canada(Alberta/Calgary) in the summer to find work.I'm going to be looking for work in hospitality/manufacturing sector for jobs because they are listed under pressure.I phoned the foreign worker helpline and they said i could get a job offer within Canada,wait for the LMO(2-6weeks) then cross the boarder into the U.s and go back into Canada & collect my work permit.They said many people do this,but finding a job is the hard part.Anyone done this before?
Also i keep reading people saying that its hard to find a job online and more chance in finding a job by being there in person.Just wondering if anyone has gone this route and has been successful.

thanks for reading
