Working Visa for Americans??

[nickerjones]

does anyone know the requirments?? im kinda stumbling through the legal mumbo jumbo in trying to find out how i go about finding them....... My wife is from Calgary and she has a permanent resident status in the US now..... since we both work seasonal jobs now we thought instead of visiting for 2 weeks during christmas, we would take the 3 months when things are slow here and stay in calgary... of course she can get a job but i would like to get one too... how do i go about getting a work visa for this ....

thanks for your answers and your help

well we accelerated out marriage plans in the us because of work reasons... my wife is an entertainer in a show .... but i thought since i work a comission job , in the winter there are no people around so i cant make comission i could come work in calgary and make well double our minimum wage, or so it seems from me recent trips to calgary... but i shall see how it works out

Depending on what your qualifications are will depend on what you need to do. Do you have a degree in anything?

If you are just looking for a lower end job then there is a process that you need to follow. What kind of job where you looking at doing. As far as Fotzes remarks as you prety much need to be a PR to work is incorrect.

hell chances are with how desperate employers are in Calgary you could probably find someone willing to pay you under the table if nothing else

brillant hemi-cuda lol .. id take it .... i mean i have an associates degree i wouldnt have my bachelors degree ( in education) until next fall.... but anyway i guess it would have to be a lower end job....
