Becoming a legal resident in Spain?

How can a resident of the US get a job/apartment in Canada, before becoming a Canadian resident?

  • How can a resident of the US get a job/apartment in Canada, before becoming a Canadian resident? I plan to go to college in British Columbia, but I have no idea what the first step is, or what the rules are, to getting a job and apartment up there. I know the US has all kinds of stipulations, but how is it in Canada? What resources can I go to?

  • Answer:

    If you are not a citizen of the U.S. you will need to provide citizenship statue to the Canadian Embassy and apply for a student visa and if you would like to work you will need a working permit/visa as well. There are all kinds of rules and you will need to make an appointment with the the Canadian Embassy - but you can do this from where you already are.

Canada has rules too. You can't just come in and get a job - you need to have a skill and a guaranteed job before you can immigrate. That said, there are special conditions for university and college students, whereby you are allowed to work for a stipulated period of time. Contact the Canadian Consulate, or google up Government of Canada's website and follow it through to find the regulations for students. There's no problem with renting apartments - you don't have to be a citizen, landed immigrant or anything else. Landlords will rent to Martians as long as they pay the rent regularily.
