Thanks for the responses and well-wishes!

I was thinking about going to school at either McMaster's or Mohawk if I REALLY had to finish up, but I have to say that I think the "skilled jobs" list is a crock. It goes from doctors, to lawyers, to pharmacists, to...singers and muscians?! So, what, if I carry around my accoustic, am I eligible to be a "skilled" worker? What does a guitarist (think NYC, playing guitar at the local hippie/Indie club) have to offer Canada that is IN demand...? Unless...you guys are REALLY that bored!

My question for you now is, if I get an offer, no matter WHAT it is, is it going to qualifiy me for a work visa/permit? Or is it only the "skilled worker" crtieria jobs that I need to be getting offered?

Someone in a previous topic posted the link to the Labour Market.

Now look through carefully, and even have fun, and click some of the little blue namey thingies. This is hysterical because this is CIC and the HRSDC providing this list from what I can see, and yet they list hairstylists, barbers, Food and Beverage SERVERS, not SUPERVISORS there... >.> Apparently the Canucks (and I say that with all the love in my heart <3) are looking for some wine stewards, which is, once again, a bucket full of LOL's!

Read down the list some more....security guards, and JANITORS? It's not hard being a janitor, you just...clean. Janitize things. THESE are being added to the skilled workers list? Can ANYBODY please explain? I think I can feel my brain beginning to ooze out of my ears, and it feels like egg. I shall name him Eggert, and he shall wear an Egger suit!

Thanks for the advice again, ya'll. Sorry for the bad humour, hehe, I do it when I'm stressed in all honesty.
