How does one go about getting a work visa for Canada?
I just graduated college and am considering moving to Canada to work. What processes will I have to go through? Where do I begin? If I enjoy living and working in Canada, is it possible to become a full fledged citizen? Any knowledge is gladly accepted.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/index.asp This is the link to Citizenship and Immigration Canada with the information for applying for a temoporary work visa. If you have a job while you are in Canada you can apply for permanent residence while you are here (usually you have to apply for PR status outside of the country). Once you get status as a landed immigrant you can apply for citizenship after 3 years.

You will have to find a company in Canada that is willing to sponsor you for employment. They will only hire you if there is no lawful Canadian resident or citizen that is able to fill the position. I suggest you visit this website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp to learn more in obtaining a work visa. You also cannot become a citizen until you have obtained lawful residency for at least 3 years. Good Luck!!

you will need a minimum of 12 months full time work experience before you can apply. You must meet the following minimum requirements to apply as a skilled worker: You have at least one continuous year of full-time, paid work experience or the equivalent in part-time continuous employment. Your work experience must be Skill Type 0 (managerial occupations) or Skill Level A (professional occupations) or B (technical occupations and skilled trades) on the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC). You must have had this experience within the last 10 years.

Can an international student work in Canada after suspended
Can an international student work in Canada after suspended?
A foreign student came to Ontario as an international university student. However, he got suspended because of failing grades. He would not be able to continue studying for 8 months. Does the VISA allow him to work in Canada during that period?

Hi. The student should contact Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) immediately. They require immediate reporting if there are any changes to the information submitted on the original Canadian Study Permit. Matter of fact, until recently students were suppose to report a change in their major, although that is no longer the case. If the CIC isn't contacted and the proper documentation isn't issued for the extension, the chances of the student picking up their studies at their Canadian university in 8 months is slim to none. I would imagine that the school is also reponsible for reporting both the student's suspension and reinstatement to the CIC, so it's doubtful that there's any getting around it from the student's perspective. Furthermore, student work permits are usually granted by the university at which the student is studying and generally only for 20 hours a week unless they are involved in a school-sponsored internship. Therefore, I would suspect that any documentation to stay in Canada to work between now and when the student is reinstated at their university would be different from any documentation they currently hold. The websites below should help. Good luck.

Sorry but you can't just "start working" in Canada 'cause you want to. You require a work permit and a job offer, neither of which is available to foreigners here on visitor's visas. Seriously, did you think you could just waltz into Canada and "get a job"? In case you didn't know, we have about 1.5 million citizens who are also looking for work but they are legally permitted to work whereas you aren't. We have laws and rules which any and all prospective immigrants must follow. Look through http://www.cic.gc.ca and read through the entire site carefully. In the meantime, you are simply not permitted to work while you are visiting Canada. Go home and apply from there.

You would have to apply for residency. You may not be able to do it from Canada if you're only visiting. Its unlikely that you would be permitted to legally work any time soon.

I would think you would have to apply for a residency card or a work visa---does not your live-in partner know...

Look up NAFTA visa. If you have a college degree in one of those fields you can look for work. Otherwise you have to apply for immigration which can take several years.

Everything is the same, with different abbreviations for provinces than we have for states so there is no overlap. For example, Molson Canada <--Beer! 1555, rue Notre Dame E. <--note the comma Montréal, PQ <-- = Quebec H2L 2R5 <--their version of a zip code, called a postal code (If you are mailing from outside Canada, you have to write Canada underneath the postal code and underline it.)
2 :
we have street,cities,provinces,country and postal code.
3 :
The main difference is the zip code. They don't call it zip codes they call it postal codes and there are letters and numbers in it. example: First-Name Last-Name 123 street name city, province A1B 2C3 <----- Postal Code The format is a letter then a number.
4 :
Good answers but Canada Post's addressing standards recent requirements put the postal code on the same line as the city and province. (see source link below) HOWEVER, It has been demonstrated (CITY-TV, Toronto 2005) that although unreliable is is possible to send something to a name and postal code: CITY-TV News desk M5V 2Z5
