Canada-Based Lady Shares Best Visa to Apply for Direct Job, Permanent Residency

 

Gloria, a content creator based in Canada, has warned foreign nationals that they should avoid relocating to the North American country with a visitor's visa. She said people should not relocate with a visitor's visa.  In a video posted on TikTok, Gloria said she did not want to discourage anyone but thought putting this information in the public domain was necessary. Which visa is ideal for Canada? According to Gloria, relocating with a visitor's visa is not ideal as it would be almost impossible to get a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) that would help one remain longer in Canada.  A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker. "Your best bet is to come as an international student if you have money. If you do not have money hide your face. Another way you can come is through permanent residency. This is something that is easy for anyone who has gone to school, who has work experience and your age is on the side..." she warned. Gloria maintained that it is not advisable to relocate to Canada at the age of 40. She added that there is a long queue of people looking for jobs in Canada and those with visitor's visas would only be joining the 'race' should they consider converting it. "Most visitors have two months upwards as the duration of their visit. This makes them desperate to look for jobs. So they come in and join in the queue of job seekers submitting their CVs here and there with the hope of finding jobs to be converted to LMIA." Why a visit visa is not useful Uthman Hauwa Ibraheem, a Nigerian immigration lawyer, explained that converting one's visitor's visa to a work visa is a herculean task. "I don’t advise anyone to visit Canada with a visit visa with the aim of converting it to a work visa because it’s quite difficult to convert it. "Most job seekers in Canada especially international students haven’t got that done not to talk more of visitors. It’s not easy because LMIA is expensive and it takes a lot of convincing to make an employer grant it to anyone. It is an investment," said the lawyer, as quoted by Legit.ng.
