If I come to Canada on a Visitor's Visa, and then find an employer willing to give me a full time job contract, can I file for a TWP from within Canada? Or can I apply for TWP at my home country's visa office while I am still in Canada?

Thanks for the reply, PMM. One squiggly little detail: Can I get somebody from my home country to apply for me (basically just do paperwork and send it to the embassy) even if I am still in Canada? Or should I be in the Philippines while this application is going on? If, for instance, I get my TWP, won't I be questioned how I got it if my passport shows I was in Canada during the time my TWP was being processed?

1. You have to complete and sign the application
2. Being a Filipino you will also require a medical
3. Since the employer has to go through POEA you better read this: http://www.poea.gov.ph/MCs/MC%206-08.pdf
1. I can do that from Canada and just mail the forms to a relative in the Philippines to submit
2. Maybe I can do a Medical before leaving for Canada? How long before a medical "expires"?
3. I read that and it seems that it is more for employers than for me

Hello and thanks for the prompt reply PMM.

1. Yes
2. You can't have the medical until Manila sends you the forms.
Hmmm... so the medical is the speedbump...
When the medical comes, does it specify what hospitals are accredited? Can't I have the medical from some Canadian hospital?
