I´ve lived in Canada since 2003 on a study permit until 2005. Got a visitor Visa until 2006 then extended until Jan 2008.
The second extension was due to the fact that my girlfriend was going to sponsor me under the common-law application process. But unfortunately we broke up in April and I am now woeful of my options.
I went to school for graphic design, and have many connections in film and entertainment. I have a certain company that wants to hire me, since I´m close to the boss, but past attempts to get me a work permit have failed. I don´t have enough experience on paper in my industry to merit a work permit.
I have 20k in funds that my father left me. I´m 25 years old and would like to start my own business in Canada very soon. But only if I can stay.
What can I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck

Hi
Nightmare situation, I´m currently looking for ways to stay as well.
I´m not an expert but I think you have a couple of options.
1. you haven´t mentioned anything about a working holiday visa. This is what I´m currently on. Check out the BUNAC web site and apply for a 1 yr working visa to bide some time. You can apply on line when the forms become available in December of this year. It´s a first come first served bases & straightforward. You need to be in the UK to apply but you could always go home for a holiday! The whole process take around 5-6 weeks tops, which would be worth it if you get another year to sort out how to stay. While you´re on the 1 yr working visa you can then apply for PR if you wanted.
2. I was told that if you have a letter from an employer saying that they are offering you a job and the offer is valid until you have been granted your PR then you can submit this (not sure what the process is called but it´s different to a company sponsoring you as you don´t need to actually work for this company once you get your PR) and apply for PR at the same time - this speeds up your PR process to about 9 mths - again you could do this while on your 1 yr visa or try and get it done now.
Hope this is of some help and come next year we are both still here!

You should try Alberta, they need a lot of truck drivers there, that is what I hear.
Contact some employment agencies there.
