I am yet to travel to Canada… I have a visa with working permit and I want to know if I arrive in Canada what re the things I can do there… I have work experience and so many fields but I think certificates and diplomas differ from country to country and my certificate might not interest a Canadian based company I guess… What do you think I can do? I have another question… My working permit is one year… How do I get permanent resident permit within that time frame… Please help
