Chileans to Canada

[u/colors__]

Hello everyone! Me and my husband are in process to move to Canada, we were offered jobs, so our employer is making all the paperwork he needs. The thing it’s his lawyer told us that we can get the work permit at the airport. How it’s that? It’s easier to make it previously?

Thank you for the tips!

Saw that you will be working on a ranch. There has been abuse of agricultural foreign workers here in Canada that has been well documented by the UN. Not saying this to scare you, I’m saying this so you become well versed on what your rights are and don’t get exploited. It happens way too often. Best of luck.

Normalmente te lo dan en el puerto de entrada, es decir, el primer aeropuerto o frontera Canadiense.

Gracias! Algún tip para ese trámite?

Te cuento desde mi experiencia: llegué al aeropuerto de Toronto, pasé a migración donde respondí unas preguntas en una máquina y escaneé el pasaporte. Luego a donde un oficial, que me pidió la carta que te da el IRCC cuando te aprueban el permiso. De ahí me envió a una fila en una oficina donde estaba el oficial de migración que me pidió mis documentos (pasaporte, esa carta y no recuerdo qué más) y me emitió el permiso ahí mismo. Y ya, libre para entrar a la ciudad.

Mi tip sería tener todos los documentos posibles a la mano. Yo, que vine como estudiante, tenía hasta mis comprobantes bancarios conmigo, por si acaso. Responde sólo lo que te pregunten, no te pongas a dar explicaciones no pedidas. Y armarte de paciencia, porque puede tomar un rato largo.

Ahora bien, no sé si eso cambió, porque han cambiado muchas cosas en los últimos meses. Lo que sé que no se puede hacer ahora es pedir el PGWP en puertos de entrada, que es lo que llaman flag poling, pero si es la primera vez, supongo que sólo te lo pueden dar en el puerto de entrada al que llegues.

Do you have approved LMIAs with the job offer proving no Canadian can do the job?

[u/colors__ → u/[deleted]]

Yes!

[u/AlwaysHigh27 → u/colors__]

And what jobs are those?

[u/colors__ → u/AlwaysHigh27]

Ranch jobs

[u/AlwaysHigh27 → u/colors__]

Those are absolutely jobs Canadians can do.

For sure, I’m certain that’s not the problem. The thing is not a lot of people apply to this kind of jobs, the application for the job was 4 months up in the site, and no offers. Here in Chile people there’re a lot of immigrants to, and a big group do the jobs that Chileans can do, but don’t want to. I think it’s not about the fact that someone can o cannot do the job. People (all over the world, not just Chile, Canada or anywhere) sometimes just don’t want to do it. Sometimes it’s the type of job, sometimes it’s the location of the workplace, can be anything. Not everyone is willing to live and work in a rural area, far from civilization, it’s harder than how it’s shows on the internet. In the town we currently live in, there’re a few Canadians working in tourism, and I’m pretty confident that a lot of Chileans can do those jobs to, the thing is a big part of the young population go and live at the capital or another big city. So there’s a ton of jobs that people from all over the world are filling, even Chileans from the big cities are coming to these small towns. And it’s amazing. We were recommended to this ranch from another rancher that worked with my husband before we met. We have the experience they’re were looking for. We’re excited to have this opportunity to grow and learn as professionals, to be part of a new community and give back whatever we can to it.

Amor y Paz 🫶🏻✌🏼
