What is the maximum time frame Canada gives for a visitor visa? What if I get hired by someone in Canada?
When you enter CBSA will determine how long but the maximum is 6 months. To get a visa, you need to show strong ties to country, travel history and funds.
If you get a job offer you cannot work. Your employer needs to file for and pay $1k for a LMIA. The LMIA shows that no Canadian or PR could be hired, only you. Then with LMIA, you apply for a closed work permit. Few go through the process, and it will take months to process. Depending on the job you may need ECA for your post secondary education and IELTS for language.
