whats the type of ur application

my type of applicaton is permenent resident visa skiled worker class, im a vehicle mechanic.

hey

it needs usually in london office between 48 and 60 month its better than the middle east that need 7 years
good luck

thanks for that info, ive actually got a chance of a job as well now, if its going 2 take that long then how long can i go visiting for? and can i get a temporary work visa while my application is in process?

hey

yes u can have a temporary visa while ur perminant residence visa is in process, and u can stay in canada according to exipry date of the temporary visa
good luck

thanks very much for your help mike, how do i go about getting a temporary visa? do i go down to london or do i have to fone for an interview time?

hey]
have u applied for temporary visa?

no ive applied for permenant resident visa, but there is a job come up and they wont hold the job open for long, as you can understand. i am willing to travel down to london even to recieve the temporary visa

ok

i understand that u got ur temporary visa?

no i aint got a tempary visa sorry, what i was trying to say is that if im waiting for my permanent resident visa(skilled class) and its going to take as long would it be possible for me to recieve a tempary visa while its in process as the company that is offering me the job wont keep it open for long.

hey
yes of course you can

thanks for your help mike, the only other thing is how do i go about getting the tempary visa? do i go down to london or fone them?

Hey
U Find Go The Embassy In London You Must Fill The Application And Maybe In Less Than A Week U Will Have It After The Interview

Thomas,

If your job is approved by HRDC, you can apply the alternative path of Provincial Nomination Program which can be completed in 6 months. This is another choice apart from temp. visa which you are already working on. For details visit www.cic.gc.ca (http://www.cic.gc.ca)

thanks so much for your help guys, just an other wee quick question, if i go over 2 canada the longest i can be in there ive been told is 6 months, but when i go over im going 2 go for an interview for a job when im over there so could the company push the issue about my visa coming through quicker? i want 2 be in canada not scotland and want 2 be over for christmas.lol

no one can pushes the issue about the visa , only the embassy can
good luck

ok kool thanks very much, is it true the maximum i can stay in canada is 6 months?

hi
yes 6 month (temporary visa)

hi mike, ive managed to get a letter from an employer that is offering me a job oppertunity, would it be worth my while going down now to london and try and speak to some one at immigration about a tempary work visa?

Thomas, your employer must request a Labour Market Opinion for you and must give you a copy of it. Skilled Worker, the Alberta Provincial Nomination Programme and Work Permits rely on that Labour Market Opinion. They should not take more than 4 months to recieve one.

hi kyle, it aint alberta i was going 2, im going 2 be going 2 ontario where my mothers cousins all are, is it still the same for ontario as alberta?

So what about if you live in the States next to the border; would you still need a temporary work visa to work somewhere in Canada if you were commuting to and from the United States?
