Job Application and Visa

[Ang3lica1984]

Hello,

I'm currently look for a Procurement Job in Canada. What kind of Visa should I apply for?

 

[Naturgrl]

Do you have a LMIA with job offer? If not you are not eligible for a work visa.

Thanks for the tip.No, I don't have LMIA with Job offer. I'm based in the Philippines and currently working for a Canadian company. What I'm planning to do is to apply for a job in the head office (Canada) then apply for the visa afterwards. Is that a practical strategy?

No. Your employer still needs a LMIA. Your employer needs to prove no Canadian could be hired. They pay $1000, fill out all the paperwork, show how hiring you will grow their business and then wait months for the LMIA. If successful, then you can apply for a closed work permit. That takes months too. Few employers go through the process.

Are you in senior management/executive or in a technical knowledge position (no Canadian employee can do your job) with this Canadian company? You may be able to look at an Inter Company Transfer. So you can’t apply for a head office job in Canada, but if the company can’t hire anyone in Canada because your skill set is required, you may be eligible.

To visit or work. If to work, you apply for jobs in Canada.Few employers will reply because you don’t have work authorization. Your employer needs a LMIA and needs to prove no Canadian could be hired. They pay $1000, fill out all the paperwork, show how hiring you will grow their business and then wait months for the LMIA. If successful, then you can apply for a closed work permit. That takes months too. Few employers go through the process.

This is noted. I'm not in a managerial position but in a Technical Position. I'm currently working as a Procurement Analyst and yes, I'm currently looking for an Inter Company Transfer. In this case, would you recommend applying for an Express Entry?

If you are eligible for EE, you can submit a profile. So you are working for a Canadian company then if you are hoping for a Inter Company Transfer. You have to be be with the company for at least a year for the company to apply for an ICT.
