hello! :) I'm looking for advice from Seniors:
because I don't have enough points to apply(like FSW,PNP...) and I can't find a "job offer" from here(I'm from Serbia) and I've got a guarantee on couple of places,from employers(on kijiji,monster,workopolis...)that I'll get a job in their companies as soon as I arrive in Canada(Ontario(I have a cousin in Mississauga))---is it smart,is it possible that I come as a tourist and from there to look for a work permit or apply for PNP?
please answer!
thank you!

If this companies promise to hire you, why can't they mail you the LMO so you can apply for the work permit before leaving?

They may be trying to get out of paying for your airfare, which they are legally required to do in some cases.

If you come here and the jobs are gone, what will you do? Kijiji isn't exactly know for it's trustworthiness.

I don't know enough about Ontario to give you an opinion there.

Ask them if they can get you the LMO in your name. Even if they already have an open LMO and you come to Canada tomorrow, it takes 2-3 weeks to have your name added to the LMO, plus time to get the work permit. Can you afford to sit around for a few weeks with no job?

Keep in mind, there are almost always a lot more people that want to work in Canada than jobs available for foreigners.
