Possible but quite difficult (many/most employers aren't willing to go through the LMO process). However you can always try.

Good luck.

Thanks much for the response. Will surely try I hope i make it.

If you can also suggest employers that have tried doing it, that would be much appreciated. Thanks again...

I already have an employer who is willing to included me in LMO... can you help me with the process in getting work permit?

You'd have to send your application for the WP outside Canada though.

Oops, there's no way that i can apply from here?

 

[job_seeker]

Initial work permit should be applied for at a visa office/consulate outside Canada. You can send your application to NYC or LA consulate. Pray you're not called for interview but if you are hoping you have a US visa.

THanks jobseeker... then if i am fortunate enough, how do i claim the work permit from there? I do not have US visa?

Drive to the closest border and "flagpole", meaning exit to the US side, let officer know you're picking up your WP (you'll get an administrative refusal), enter Canadian side (tell officer you're picking up your WP). Show your letter from the Canadian consulate and your passport with the TRV-W.

Is flagpoling works all the time? Or there's any chance that there's refusal (to issue work permit) at the border?

Won't work. The OP requires a medical.

Hi

So there's no other way but to go out of Canada, go back to Philippines and apply from there?
Is there any other work around on this?

 

[wsongco]

did you call CIC? for sure other people done this. would you mind if i ask what type of job are you applying? and did you do your medical before you came here as a tourist?

if you need medical maybe you can do it here in canada and submit it together with your application and which province are you now?
