How To Travel And Work In Canada Legally From Nigeria

There are many reasons why you might want to travel to Canada. For visitation, for vacation, for pleasure, for meetings, for seminars and for work. The reason you are going to Canada will determine the categories of Visa and permit you will apply for.

This article is concerned mainly about getting a temporary work permit in Canada. You want to go to Canada from Nigeria to work legally, and that is what I will be talking about. There are 3 ways to answer the question How to travel and work in Canada legally from Nigeria.

1. Temporary Work Permit by a Sponsor

Under this category, you can secure a travel visa to Canada on a temporary work permit, but an employer in Canada must be the one to sponsor your trip to the country as a hired employee. When you are hired to work in Canada, your employer can provide the necessary documents to facilitate your travel to Canada.

It must however be pointed out that the employer must demonstrate that the position you are being hired for cannot be filled by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident on ground, but only by a foreign worker like you.

He must also show that he has made extensive efforts to hire someone within the country for the specific job without any success before reaching out to you across borders.

Once the officials approve your LMO, you have 6 months to come to Canada with your work permit.

2. Get a Job in Canada from Nigeria Online

Getting a job in Canada from Nigeria would of course require your time to keep applying to job openings that are offered to both residents and international applicants. The following sites below will help you get connected to potential employers in Canada.

  • Workopolis.com
  • Indeed.com
  • Monster.ca
  • Eluta.com
  • Canadajobs.com

To have any chance of landing that dream Canadian job, you must know that you’re to possess a skill or have an experience that would entice employers. Also, you must be willing to spend time online to extensively apply. It might take time, but if you don’t give up, you might get lucky anytime.

3. Express Entry Opportunity

Express Entry is a platform that has helped many job seekers gain both jobs and entry into Canada. Different things might affect how this will work for you, it includes qualifications, employer’s selection, and some specific issues employment lawyers dealing with and so on, Express Entry has a lot of positive feedbacks.

Express Entry is used to manage applications for permanent residence under these federal economic immigration programs:

  • The Federal Skilled Worker Program,
  • The Federal Skilled Trades Program, and
  • The Canadian Experience Class.

Here is how Express entry works

  • Firstly, you have to log on to cic.gc.ca
  • Click on register and provide accurate info about your Nationality, Skills, Work Experience, Language ability, Education, and so on. Please verify and provide real and accurate information about you.
  • Keep applying to openings and always check your inbox for mails from Express Entry.

If you meet the criteria of one of the federal immigration programs, they will accept into a pool of candidates.

Note: Entry into the Express Entry pool does not guarantee they will issued you an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence as a candidate. Invited candidates still have to meet eligibility and admissibility requirements under Canada’s immigration law (Immigration and Refugee Protection Act).

My Final Advice

Networking have a long way to go sometimes. Join online forums with Canadians looking to network. Attend webinars and make connections.

The Canadian government does not make it easy for companies to hire non-Canadians from abroad. However, if someone believes you are worth it, they will go through the effort.
