Greetings!

I'm just going to jump straight to the question ..

I don't hold a PR nor a job offer!
How do I get a job offer while I'm abroad and you don't even have a PR?

What is the easiest way to migrate or find a job in Canada?

Thanks and regards!

Generally speaking, it tends to be extremely difficult to secure a job offer as a foreign worker since the process the employer has to go through to hire you is so long, involved and expensive. Having said that, some do manage to find jobs and get work permits.

The first step is to find an employer willing to give you a full time job. You should look for employers on reputable job posting sites such as indeed, linkedin, workopolis, etc. The next step is for the employer to advertise the job for at least a month to prove no Canadian could be found for the role. The employer must then apply for and obtain something called an LMIA (permission to hire you). The LMIA process takes quite a bit of paperwork to complete, along with a $1,000 fee, and can take over four months to process. If the LMIA is approved (not all are) - you can then apply for a closed work permit tied to that specific employer.

If you want to start by immigrating instead, detailed information about Canada's immigration programs can be found here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/apply.asp

There is really no easy route for anything. All of it requires work, time and effort.

Thank you for taking the time to write, I really appreciate it.

It just puzzles me how many people that I come across are securing jobs in Canada while still in the Middle East or East Asia! And honestly speaking, non of them end up doing any super-natural job that no resident in Canada could do! They are just regular IT guys or just regular employees.

Thank you again! I really appreciate it
