So I'm trying to figure out how to move to Canada, specifically in the area around the bitumen sands. What I really want is residency, however I'm not entirely sure how I would go about that as I don't think I fall under skilled workers.
So it seems the best option would be to find a company willing to hire me if I could secure a work permit, however I'm curious as to whether or not any company will suffice. Could, say, a fast food restaurant or grocery store suffice for an AEO (not in a manager position, but rather just the general labor jobs that are fairly easy to get)? And if so, would I later be able to apply for residency so that I could secure another job without the need for applying for a new permit? Obviously my goal isn't to work at a McDonald's or something that happens to be in Canada, but if having that job so I can live there would be of any aid to the process I'm fine doing it. I'm finding it rather hard to find much information on it... most of what I've found seems to be either people who have a lot more education than I do (as I haven't gone to college), or people trying to get into the US from Canada.
I'm 21, US citizen, valid passport, driver's license, etc.
