The points that paradox3696 was very thoughtful! As a Canadian, I appreciate all the hard work and effort with people trying to get into Canada legally.

One important thing to note as an addition, be very careful of recruiters asking you for a fee. The Canadian companies looking for skilled workers would pay for you to be there. If recruiters ask money from you, it's probably not a good idea to work with them. Canadian companies come with an understanding that there is no double dipping from recruiters.

This may not apply to you, but I have been aware of many Filipino agencies stationed in the Philippines asking for fees. The Canadian government can't do anything about this. The Canadian employer would only learn of this after the person is employed.

Good luck in your quest!
