Is anybody willing to answer my questions regarding to obtaining a work visa?

[PreciousNickia]

I am a 25 year old male from Serbia. I've lived here all my life and I wish to move. I've already researched information regarding migration to Canada on a work visa, however there is one main thing that I'd like to inquire about. Do I need a valid job offer upon arrival in Canada in order to get the work visa or can I just search for a job when I get there? Will they grant me the visa without having a job offer? Can someone explain please?

Thank you.

There are 2 ways to move to Canada
1. Get a job offer sitting in Serbia and move
2. Apply for Express Entry and wait for an invitation from Canada

Option 1 is tough, but not impossible. It depends on your line of work as well as the employer's intent to move you to Canada rather than hire a local.
Option 2 is dependant upon a point based system and if you score high, you will be invited to apply

Is it easier to apply for a work visa, PR or Express Entry?

None of them are easy. They all take time, research and effort.

BTW: Express Entry is PR.
