A company can't give you a visa because only the government of Canada can do that. If you find a prospective employer they can sponsor you. Follow this link it will tell you what to do.\n\nhttp://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/index.html

There are basically two options available to you.  The first is to obtain a non-immigrant work visa (H, L, O, P).  In order to obtain a work visa, a company must have hired you for a specific position with a contract for a specific length of time (and there are some requirements that the company has to fulfill in order to be able to petition for you, but let them worry about that).  After you obtain the visa, you come over here and start working.  The availability of these work visas depend greatly on your profession, level of education, and line of work. \n\nYour second option is a green card.  You can apply for the diversity visa or if you have relatives here in the US that are either green card holders or American citizens, they may be able to petition for you to get your green card.\n\nThere may also be special programs available to you depending on what country you are coming from, and in some cases, what your profession is.  You would need to check with either the CIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services) (www.uscis.gov) or with the US Department of State for more information.

Non-citizens must have a government issued work permit before the are allowed to work in Canada. Unlike the United \nStates Government, Canada feels that job openings should be filled by citizens.

To obtain work in Italy it is necessary to obtain both a residence permit and a worker registration card, rather than a visa. The Italian work permit application process must be begun by the company in Italy that hires the worker. The Italian work permit cannot be applied for by either the employee or a recruiting firm or a job agency.

Sorry you cannot get a work permit without having filed for your green card, or have a work visa, or have a employer sponsor you for a work visa. Whatever you do don't give up things will work out.

Sorry for the Dumb A$$ answers! It really depends on the immigration status of your friend once he/she arrives in Canada. More likely than not he will be a Canadian Resident which is equal to our I-551 holders (Immigrant -or- Permanent Resident). He will need to apply for a visitor visa and will be subject to all the restrictions that come with the visa. He/She will also be issued a I-94 which will indicated his maximum period of admission into the United States...

You can look for work but, you cannot work legally work unless you have a work visa. My advice would be to find a company which want to hire you when you get to the U.S and have them sponsor you a work visa. To qualify for a work sponsored visa through an employer you have to have a job that the U.S thinks no one else can perform but you. Otherwise you are looking at applying for residency when you step foot on U.S soils.

You will need a passport and a visa to work or go to school. You can apply for landed immigrant status once you get here but that can be expensive. If you are granted that then you can go through the process of getting citizenship if you like.

The best advice I can give you is to actually hire an immigration lawyer and talk to him about it. The first consultation is usually free and they can help you get all the paperwork you need to keep you out of trouble for a few hours of their time. \n\nBesides, if the government has a problem with it, you then have a lawyer to defend you. This is the step I did applying in Canada from the US. It was the best money I ever spent!\n\nOn a side note, I suggest you read carefully the conditions outlined on your work permit. Usually a work permit outlines that you can only work in your field and sometimes only for a certain employer. If you violate those requirements, then you can get into trouble.\n\nYou often need to file for another work permit if you wish to change employers or apply to work in a different field than what you are trained for. Look into getting what they call an "Open work permit" which will allow you to work anywhere you want within your field.\n\nBut run it through the lawyer first, they can advise you more about the rules for worker permits in the country you are applying for.\n\nGood luck!

If you are a legal citizen or have a visa to work here.Without proper documentation you are breaking the law and the right to work law does not apply.

It is possible to work but you would probably be in breach of the visa conditions.  Check with Canadian immigration if you can get switched to a working visa.

Hi, I'm a Canadian working in the US.  It is very difficult to get a work visa  here.  You have to be able to show that there are no Americans who can legitimately do the work you're doing, or have a corporate sponsor in the States to file the visa paperwork on your behalf.  Even with that, until you can get a green card (and that took me 7 yrs, even being married to an American), you need to renew your visa periodically (I believe it's yearly).  Go to the INS website (I think they're under the Dept. of Justice now), but it'll take a lot.  BTW, I am still a canadian citizen.

first you have to get a job with an american-owned institution, and they will help you obtain documents you need such as work visas.
