Hi. I’m Peruvian and I am currently living in the US. I’ve been studying here since I was in 10th grade. Right now I’m in university pursuing my major in Int. Business w/ a concentration on Finance and Marketing. After I graduate, I’m gonna have to go back to Peru. I’ve been looking for places where I can get a paid internship but it is just so hard to find. I also would like to live in Canada, but some say it is simply impossible though I’m fluent with Spanish, English, and French and I took Intermediate Portuguese. I know I need to have at least one year of experience to go anywhere and I am not sure if I’ll be able to find a job in my home country once I start living there. So what do you recommend me? Where should I look for paid internships or what countries could help me gain work experience and maybe allow me to stay for a longer time? My ultimate goal is to immigrate to some other country. I’d be grateful if someone can help me out by giving me some good ideas. Tha
I’ve had a job, but not in my field of studies.

check out this website to do job searchs all over Canada.. the west is booming so it would be best to start there.. good luck
If you can find someone to agree to hire you then you go to canada immigration website and apply for a working visa.. then you can get your experience.. To apply for a skilled worker you only have had to work full or part time.. Have you ever had a job??

Immigrating to CanadaComing to Canada as an immigrant is an exciting opportunity. However, there are several things you should consider before you apply to be a permanent resident.
In most cases, you must apply at a Canadian visa office outside of Canada. In some cases, you can apply to become a permanent resident after you arrive in Canada. For example, live-in caregivers or people granted refugee protection can apply from within Canada.
If you want to immigrate to Canada, there are a few different ways to apply. You will need to decide which immigration program will work best for you and your family.
