Hi all,
I am an American with five years of experience at a non-profit study abroad provider. I am hoping to move to Ottawa, where my boyfriend lives, as soon as possible. I have applied for several jobs in the non-profit and education sectors. I qualify for a work visa if I receive a job offer. But my question is, what is the likelihood that one of these organizations would be willing to hire an American? My profession doesn't qualify as one of the select professions that would be granted a work visa without a job offer. I am trying to get a sense of the time and money involved for me and an organization if they offered me a position. I am feeling discouraged as it seems like you can get a work visa if you're offered a job, but to be offered a job you need a work visa...
Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions!
