I sent my CV to some recruitment companies but got no result. Now I am planning to find someone who can manage to provide me sponsorship work visa to Canada in exchange for money. I think this will cost me no less than $10,000. But even this plan did not work. I want to live in Canada. I love Canada. But it is just like the sky, impossible to reach.

I usually either go directly to the company I want to work for (I have set up Alerts on each companys site in the career section) OR I post my resumt on the major job sites and then its easier to apply each time you visit the site. Never used the job bank you mentioned.

Hi,
I am a graphic designer by profession based in Dubai. Like you, I applied the same way. But I never had the luck as I don't have residence visa. I don't know how to get a job offer being outside the country. If we can get it, then life could be lot easier.

I think you'll find that this is illegal under Canadian law. It appears like bribery to me and if you are caught you will end any chance of getting into this country.

Ya, you are right. Its illegal. But many people are getting misguided by such unscrupulous agents.

As Canada has become restricted for only 38 professions in Federal category, people want to have a job offer by whatever way to qualify for immigration. And the worst part is that no company is willing to give a job offer unless you have a work visa for Canada. Even a provincial nomination is restricted to Job offer.

I had luck with a company I found on google who were willing to help me with my visa. I simply e-mailed them and set up a video chat online. However, i have decided to apply for the Bunac programme therefore I dont need a job offer to live in Canada but the visa is onyl for 12 months.
