[font=Comic Sans MS] [/font][B][fade]Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum and i was just wondering if anyone could tell me if it's easy to get a work permit once in canada. The thing is that i'd like to go to Canada soon and I'm Mexican myself. So i would go there as a tourist but what if I wanted to stay there and decided to work there for a few months. Oh and what would be the first place you think there wouldn't be any trouble if i decided to start working there. and one last thing, is it easy finding a job there? If you could please help me by replying to those questions i've made i would sincerely appreciate it. I'm thinking to move to toronto or ontario. thanks in advanced.
If you want an easy unskilled job, with a high pay, head to Alberta. But if your in the high tech, aeronautics, automobile, manufacturing, construction... well any skilled job head to Québec or Ontario.
Riiiight,an easy unskilled job,to even get into the patch expect to do about 2 weeks training for sour gas,confined spaces and about ten other tickets you will need before even stepping on a lease or ROW.I've seen a few mexicans working the rigs themselves,the pays good but the work is anything but easy and very dirty.You will pack about ten pounds of clay on each boot when it rains,and if you dont pull your weight expect to be run off in an instant. Attitudes like numures arent tolerated in the patch,it's no place for slackers or dogfuc*ers.
Not my fault if I went to University to get a 8 to 3 work shift and make a 6 digit salary.
Edit: Digit
Well, arent you the Asshole of the day.......

There's two kinds of school in life,the kind you get in an institution and the hands on type,they both have merit. I get lots of boss's half my age and they just got out of school and there so cocky,they know everything yet their on their very first excavation and dont have a clue.I find a lot of newbie engineers are like that. 6 figure's is nothing in Alberta if you have a welding ticket,downline welders on the pipeline make about $800.00/day minimum,and they work 7 days a week every week untill it rains.

Do they still give you a pair of free snowshoe's at the Canadian/US border?
Yes, and a 5.5" Knife to fight off the Grizzly Bears!

Grrr, a glass of orange juice costs like 800 yen... 
My husband's stayed there for 2 months, and b/c Japanese don't eat much, he was always still hungry after the free lunch in the company's dining-room.
And there's nowhere to buy extra food there 
(He does eat more than me, and FYI I only weigh 47 kg and don't look plump.)
Oh oh, by the way, as far as this topic is still concerned, do you guys think a Facility Supervisor from China can get a good job in Toronto? Are there any big factories like P&G/Unilever/Nivea/Kao or other companies in this industry? Cus my husband is a Facility Supervisor with good experience in Kao corporation(a Japanese company, a "fortune 500" too), and is probably gonna start to work for Nivea.
We are sending in our application for Permanent Residence in Canada, and we'll choose Toronta b/c we have relatives & friends there.
I know I know, it's not like we are flying to Toronto tomorrow! lol Just curious and want to know something in advance.

I want to transfer in Thunder Bay, and want to know how easy is to find a job to use my experience and knowledge... I'm a senior programmer, but I'm 17 yo, so, I can find a part-time job in thunder bay easily?

Everyone can make as much as they want. It all depends how much you wish to work. When I finished my masters, I had to work alot, as such made more money then I do now even though I've had had increases over the years. I just work less now, always under 40 hours. At some point, you want to spend more time with your family.
I give alot of merit to the hands on type of jobs, didnt mean any disrespect. I have a few brothers that are construction weilders, and work up north all the time for Hydro. They make a nifty amount as well.
