    Re: work permit

    Here in Canada, new immigrants are strongly advised not to hire a consultant. The government of Canada does not believe you need one.

    Your plan:
    1. the only risk is that you may have a few courses to redo. But this is not the end of the world, just take them and you will succeed.
    2. visiting visa for 3 days to write the exam: zero risk. None. This is Canada, we do not deny visiting visas unless you are a known terrorist.
    3. It is impossible to know if you are going to pass. You will fail if you don't study the right materials
    4. Don't try to stay 6months to do both exams. YOur profile says you are from Texas. We have direct flights to Texas. Fly home and work for the time after the first exam.
    Yes, people with good english can easily find a job with written exam alone where I live in Alberta. I cannot guess the risks, as I don't know how well you speak.
    Ironically, the Canadian government temporary skilled worker visa doesn't check if you passed the exam. So don't worry about that. You can easily go now to the skilled
    worker visa application page of the Canadian website and check what your chances are of getting that visa. Work out the risk yourself. You know the answers to the
    questions best.
    5. As long as you are good at your job, employers will keep you if you are working in a high needs area, even while you only have a temporary visa. They do like to think you
    are PLANNING to get a permanent residency.
    6. To get an employer to give you an LMO you have to deal with certain employers. So if you are working with them (contact me for some names) you will get an LMO. However,
    you don't need an LMO if you come on a skilled worker permit for two years, then apply based on those two years.

    No, this is not a risky option. This is an option that may require alot of work and effort. There is a difference. Risk means random chance, out of your control. This is not out of
    your control. If you work on good English, study harnd and work where you are needed you will succeed - no chance involved.
