5. Take a working holiday
Relatively young people (between 18-35 years old) are eligible for a working holiday through a program called International Experience Canada. It allows you to arrive in Canada on an open work permit without a job offer in advance.
Really the only restriction on the type of work you can do on your working holiday relates to strip clubs or escort services. Several countries have an agreement with Canada that facilitates this process. If yours doesn’t, don’t fret.
Canada has several Recognized Organizations for foreign youth that will help facilitate this visa for a fee. Experience gained through a working holiday can be used toward a later application for permanent residence.
4. Start a business
If you are more of an entrepreneurial type, maybe you’d rather start a business in Canada than wait for a job offer. Canada is currently open for people who have the means and the drive to start businesses that create jobs for Canadians.
Preference is given to businesses that are innovative and can compete on a global scale. Look into the requirements for a Start-up visa to learn more. If you choose Canada as the location for your new business, you will reap the benefits of low taxes and low business costs in a thriving economy.
3. Seek asylum
Every year, Canada welcomes approximately 30,000 refugees who have been persecuted or been a victim of war, insurgencies, sexual rights etc in their home countries. There are two systems in place to seek asylum in Canada as a refugee.
The Refugee and Humanitarian Resettlement Program works outside of Canada and the In-Canada Refugee Protection Process is for people who have already crossed the border.
The entire process may take up to 18 months, but many potential refugees are given permission to live and work in Canada in the meantime.
