Job search

9 years ago
I need advice. What would be the best way to search for a job offer, in my home country (South Africa) or visiting a cousin in Canada for 3 months and while there see if I can get job offer quicker. My cousin advised me to do a caregiver aide course because apparently this is in high demand in Canada. Now that I reply to ads and to agencies they say that the processing time (LMIA) for SA is up to 5 months. My cousin said that this is normal and that I should not worry about this. I also found that I can only reply to some jobs if I was currently in Canada. So how can I get a job offer asap. Should I go to Canada and hopefully get offer then apply for work permit while inside of Canada? Hope this makes sense.
