I am an American , in Canada, wanting to work. I can't work until my Permanent Residence Application is processed, accepted, and a visa is issued. When I submitted my application I was told it could take between 2 months and 2 years.
As far as I know, the quickest way I can legally work here before the PR is to find an employer who would be willing to do a Labour Market Opinion. I am not sure what this process consists other than proving that there are no other Canadians that could fill this job and you have to hire an American.
I have talked to a few oil and gas places but most seem turned off by the LMO process. Only 1 or 2 places I have talked to have shown genuine interest in doing it.
