Question:
If you've applied (or are about to apply) for PR status, is it OK to register
with job-search firms before actually having visa in hand? I heard somewhere
that you can't look for a job in Canada until you're legally allowed to reside
there?
Answer:
-I would suggest that it is v much beneficial for your case to do a job search!
U are more likely to do better under the personal suitability factor.
-There is nothing barring seeking employment in Canada prior to having legal
status therein. You would not, however, be entitled to employment in such a
position until status is duly obtained.
- It is working without a work permit or a resident visa that you
can't. But searching for a job in Canada is legal.
-Looking for a job in Canada does not require that you have a work
permit. It's just that you cannot actually work until you have the
papers.
