If you need help with finding genuine jobs in Canada, gettin g an LMIA and applying for work permit...
If you have a Canada visit visa and you're thinking of visiting Canada on that visit visa soon, then please do not skip this video.
I'm actually not very happy making this video and the reason is simple. It's because I have talked about this issue of converting visit visa to work permit several times.
But I see a lot of people still making the same errors, still coming to Canada without any plan.
I'm not happy. I'm angry. Okay, fine. It is true that Canada is issuing visit visas, especially to those that they have held on to their visas since 2020.
They are giving it up like Father Christmas. And then on top of it, they've issued a temporary policy that allows people to apply for work permit inside Canada, even with a visit visa.
And then I see that a lot of agents are selling these things to people and they are not telling them the entire truth.
People are coming here and they are frustrated. So today I want to talk about the visitor visa and all the things that your agent did not tell you.
I'm going to expose all of this here. And if you have a visit visa and you're thinking of coming to Canada with it, you're going to know what to do as long as you watch this video till the end and you follow the instructions that are here.
So that agent has told you that you can change your visit visa to work permit. They've made it sound so easy. They've sold visit visa to you.
Some of you even wanted them to put them to do work permit for you, but they did visit visa and they are telling you that, look, you can go to Canada and you can convert it to work permit.
So the question now is, can you actually convert your visit visa to work permit? Can you change it from visit visa to work permit?
I like to say no, because I don't see it as a change. What you can actually do is that while you're in Canada, you can apply for a job.
And if you get a job offer, you can then apply for a work permit inside Canada. Now, before this temporary policy, if you had a job offer inside Canada on a visit visa, you would have to go and apply for the work permit outside of Canada.
That means you have to leave Canada. But with this new policy, you can apply for your work permit inside Canada. You don't have to leave Canada. And if your work permit is approved, you can start working in Canada.
Your agent has made it sound so simple that maybe you come, the jobs are available. You just apply for work permit.
You don't just apply for work permit. It is the truth they are telling you, but it is an exaggerated truth because you don't just apply for the work permit, you actually get a job if you're able to apply for a work permit.
So, if your intention is to come to Canada on a visit visa and stay permanently in Canada by getting a job and converting your visit visa to a work permit, then listen up. You need to know these three things.
Now, usually, by law, on a visit visa, you cannot stay in Canada for more than six months at a time. So, which means that if you stay more than six months, you have violated your visit visa.
They have not been able to get a job. They are frustrated and time is running out on them. So, know these statistics before you come.
If you go rent a house, your landlord or intending landlord will want to see your job offer, which means that they want to know that you have a job and you have the ability to pay rent.
So, if you don't have a SIM and you don't have somebody who is going to accommodate you in Canada, you might end up staying in a hotel or an Airbnb. And trust me, those things are not cheap. They are not cheap.
So, please know these three things. Number one, you might not be able to rent. Number two, your visit visa is time bound. Number three, you might not be able to get a job. Now, why am I saying you might not be able to get a job?
I'm going to tell you a few truths about getting a job in Canada as a visitor. So, before an employer in Canada can hire you as a visitor for a job, they have to get what is called an LMIA.
Now, listen very carefully. Jot it down or write it. An LMIA is a labour market impact assessment. Now, this is a document that the employer needs to get before they can employ a foreigner like you who is in Canada on a visit visa.
Even if you have that money, how do you know the LMIA is real? There are a lot of fake LMIAs out there. I have seen people who have complained of paying for LMIAs and at the end of the day, the LMIAs were fake.
Please look at these three things. Your network, your persistence, and then location. And I'm sure by the time you utilize these three, you have a good chance of getting a job in Canada.
