Hi All,

I am currently working in USA under H1B visa as an Electrical Engineer. Recently I started looking to move to Canada & gave few Job interviews in tech companies. All of them are saying they can't help with work permit & I need to obtain it myself. I am seeing i would need a valid job offer & plus LMIA to apply for work permit in Canada. Does anyone have any similar experience? Can anyone give me any suggestion or advice on this?

Thanks,

You need a valid job offer with LMIA to apply for closed work permit. Employer files for LMIA proving no Canadian/PR has the experience/education to do the job, only you. Many companies will not go through the LMIA process.
