There were visitors who came to Canada in 2019. These people intentions were to work as mushroom pickers in Abbotsford, BC. They were from visa-required countries. They failed to obtain work permit the first application due to mismatch work experience. For the second application, they flagpoled at land border crossing and obtained employer specific work permits on the spot as mushroom pickers. With the work permit, then they enrolled their children in elementary school for free. In 2020, the agri-food pilot was announced. After working for 1 year as mushroom pickers and with ielt 4.0, they applied for permanent residency. These people are now reside in SưRey, BC. They got their PR for only 3 months. Please give me your opinions on this circumstance. Sincerely, thanks and please advice me what to do. How to reach you. It’s been 5 years now.

[@pragadoegito]

Is it still worth it immigrating to Canada, considering the increase in criminality and cost of living crisis?

[@engvidAlex]

It's a tough decision that everyone has to make for themselves. Because it's such a massive country, there are plenty of safe areas to live in despite the overall increase in crime stats. The cost of living is a major issue affecting many nations at the moment, and Canada isn't immune to it. Housing in particular is unaffordable or very expensive for many people, and it's something a potential immigrant has to research and think about carefully, as with any major life decision. This would be a good question to explore in a future video, as this video is strictly concerned with the application process, not with the economic and cultural conditions of Canada. I hope I've been able to answer your question satisfactorily.

Thanks for subbing, Max. I don’t know why they’re not responding, as I don’t work for the Canadian government. :) With that in mind, I have a friend who has been waiting for a response from the Canadian Visa office since November, so you’re not alone. I can only imagine the frustration of the wait. I hope you get a response soon.

Hello, thanks for this video. My husband and I are retired so we have enough money to live on. If we wanted to change our place of residence and emigrate to Canada, it would be possible or rather impossible. If it were possible, it would be simpler or more complicated than in the situations mentioned in the video. 🙋🙂

[@MyImmigrationCanada]

Thanks for your comment! It really depends on your particular situation. If you have family in Canada already, that may be an option for you. If you are retired you may not be eligible for streams under the Express Entry programs, but I would suggest visiting the IRCC link in the description to see if you believe you meet any of the eligibility and if you have further questions please reach out!

Hello, How do I reach Jen, I know someone in Venezuela who lost her job because she did not want to sign a form for the dictator Maduro and also they wanted her to go march with signs, etc for Maduro so after that she said no, she got thrown out of the building right away and lost her job of 12 years in a hospital. She needs to go as she does not feel safe.

[@Borgesray]

Thanks Jane and Alex. I have an open work permit here but I cannot find an appropriate job, although I have submitted hundreds application . How to deal with that?

[@MyImmigrationCanada]

Thanks for your comment. That is always difficult to navigate. I think even Canadians who have been here their whole lives still deal with the challenge in being selected for that one job they want. I would say keep doing what you're doing! Have you had your resume reviewed? First impression counts and so it is important to do. Sometimes Canadian resume standards are different. And lastly, if it's in the budget, you can always do a course less than 6 months that allows you to add a certificate to your resume and Canadian experience, if your work permit allows it. All the best! I'm sure you'll get the right one!

[@EnglishwithVahid1]

Expand Your Job Search Channels, Develop New Skills. Stay Positive and Persistent. If you don’t think positively, you will face many problems, not only in finding a job but also in other aspects of your life. The universe listens to us. When you say “I can’t,” the universe holds you back because you have admitted that you are weak, and weak people don’t reach high places. Most people blame God for their difficulties, but God has nothing to do with this. When you say “I can” and keep trying, the universe will show you different ways to achieve your goal. I strongly believe in this.

[@Borgesray]

@@EnglishwithVahid1 Thank you so much for your encouragement, yeah, I am doing that.

[@mosquitobight]

For immigrants who would like to work in food services or retail, the best advice I can give is get some local coins and practice counting them quickly and accurately. Employers and customers don't have time for employees to learn counting on the job.

If you are the son or the daughter of Jeff Bezos is it the same way or you can get a visa more easely ? Is it the same for french people if they want to come and work in Montreal or Quebec for example ? I remember in 2008 something like that, I asked for a working holiday visa for the Canada. I am from France, it was easy to get it because the number available was high compared with the level of people asking for. Today that will be very difficult because a lot of people try to get those kind of visa. I did not take the visa in 2008, I moved in Uk and worked 4 years there. It was a really good experience and my level of english is far more better than it was at school.

[@engvidAlex]

French speakers will have a language advantage in Quebec, including having access to a wider variety of jobs in the province, but immigration approvals are granted at the federal, not the provincial level. Based on my understanding, there are some provincial programs which allow Quebec to select potential immigration candidates, but the approval must still come from the federal offices. Here is an example: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/quebec-skilled-workers.html

Can an International nurse who did one year course in Canada easily get PR without doing second course? Can she apply for work permit extension after her 1 post graduate permit expire?

[@rupertburger6581]

Hi Alex and Gen (please confirm the right name how her name should be spelled, if I spelled it wrong)? Ok so I am looking to immigrate out of the country where I currently reside and just do some research about Canada. So first of all, I know USA does this but not sure if there are companies that will do the same in Canada? So I live in South Africa and I am not very happy at all where I am and things is by far very bad and tough so for me to get all that $ just to immigrate will take time, so does companies allow it to sponser me (if I get the job for example) and help me to get there and then I just pay it back as soon as I start working with a contract that has been signed. So I am curious also if that is allowed will there be evidence about it? The 2nd thing? Can I maybe work in Canada for a short period of time (for 6 - 12 months) without all that amount of money and see how things will be if I decide to go there on a permanent basis or how much money do I still need to have if I want to try this option? The 3rd option? Before I make any payments, with who can I talk too and be more careful to not pay my money into a ghost account and then my money is gone? Yes I have a valid passport but I did never travel because of covid-19 and now things is really tough where I am so how can I make that for a first time to approve me as a visitor? Thanks also for this video Alex and if needed I will give more information. This video helped me a little bit more now. Thank you sir.
