I need your opinion and strong advices about this. Ill be clear and honest with you.
This bothers me for ages.
I live in Bosnia, its a ****ty country like you probably all know, bad economy, 60% of youth unemployed, it is a high risk to start a family here and live here because of lack of jobs, small amout of salary, corruption and a lot of nationalism, the country is divided. People live in past here (which is all about war from 1992 - 1995) A lot of people migrating from here in last couple of years massively and it became normal.
I have a cousin in Toronto, he lives in Toronto for about 20+ years and have a house, wife and daughter.
He runs a plumbing company and he offers me a job as a apprentice plumber which i dont want to work, i respect that job i have no experience and i just think its not for me.
I'm 28 years old, im pretty much into graphic design and im also certified but i dont have a work experience in companies only as a freelancer.

How can i find a job over there (doesnt have to be graphic design at all) ?
and can I find any job at all ?
of course - all legal !!!
what can you suggest me ?

Feel free to write everything you think I need to know.



Thanx in advance

No you won't be able to legally work here unless you already have a job offer and the employer would sponsor you for work permit; or you can apply for student visa and graduate with a college degree here, then you will have 1-3 years of work permit, during which time you can apply for permanent residence

How can you find any job at all? You have one being offered. An apprentice doesn't need experience. If it gets you in legally, do it for a few years and when a permanent resident go do something else.

No, first of all the job needs to get the approval for labour market , i.e. it needs to be posted for certain number of days to prove the employer is unable to find Canadian citizen/PR for this position. This could take a few months
