Congratulations again to those who have received approval,for those of us still waiting we will hear good news by God's grace, it will be worth the wait.

I was hoping we could share ideas on helping our spouses settle down(i.e getting a job) when they arrive. I have heard that Canadian employers prefer to hire candidates who have a certificate(or work experience) from Canada I do not know how true this is. Perhaps the industry matters; People in the IT industry may not have this issue but maybe other fields like finance for example?

Another issue I want to bring up is the possibility of applying for a study permit should one's spouse decide to further their education if a job is not forthcoming soon enough? Is this possible considering that they migrated on the basis of a work permit? If they are able to obtain a study permit after arriving in Canada, what happens after the study? I think I read somewhere that work permit is only issued once, so does this mean they would have to return home after their study since they may be unable to secure another work permit? Or will the first one be disregarded since it was never really used?

I guess my "story" above boils down to one question "How easy has it been/is it for people who migrate to Canada on work permit to secure a job"?

I would appreciate the house's opinion on these issues possibly sharing of experiences too. Thanks

Good day people

I just stumbled on this tread after looking for information on what to do after being admitted to study in canada.
I've learnt a few but would need certain clarifications on some certain issues. First of all I graduated in 2009 with a degree in physiology (2.2). We all know how it is in Nigeria my work experience has spanned mostly working in a bank and some area of logistics basically. I applied for a PGC in an area somehow related to my course of study. My question is will my Visa application not be affected by my work experience and all. Please someone should please clarify this for me thanks

jumman:
Hello house, my hubby is Canada and intends applying for sowp for me I will like to ask what kind of visa will he apply for my 5 year old daughter?

jumman:
THANKS SO MUCH So both me and my daughter can do upfront medicals, Tot kids don't do medicals.

yettyopy:
