| Work Visa Permit resident`
Hi,
I have a questions for everyone. My girlfriend has just graduated and is looking for a job. Unfortunately you came to Canada on a student visa. Now i know a lot of my coworkers and some aquitances have permit resident cards and many have work visa that never seem to expire. Does anyone know what is the process in such applications?
I have also heard that you can pay a certain amount for some paperwork to be done, then you can become a permit resident. I've heard cost from $5000 - $20,000. Does this sound normal? I mean its just to be a resident with many restrictions. They are not even a citizen.
Lets for your help.

Are you talking about a permanent resident card? If so, you need to either be married or common-law before you can even think about applying. The sponsor (you) needs to make roughly $26000 a year which is considered income suitable for supporting 2 people. If you do all the paper work yourself, it costs around $1100. Some people hire lawyers to make things go more smoothly but expect to pay a lot.
If she is lucky, she might be able to find a company willing to sponsor her and apply to get a work permit for her. But the economy sucks right now and I think it's gonna be tough to find a company willing to do that unless she has some unique skills/assets that would make it worth while for the company to go through the hassles of applying for a work permit. Also, with the unemployment rate fairly high, it seems the government is getting real tough issuing work permits lately.
They have special work permits for students who recently graduated. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-postgrad.asp

Why isn't she going back to where she came from after she graduated?

The requirements are different depending on what country she is originally from. The whole process takes roughly 6months to a year.
Now this is assuming YOU are a landed immigrant or Canadian citizen. If you are also here on a student visa, obviously this won't work. You will also be financially on the hook for supporting her for 5 years. If she collects EI, you will have to pay back the government.
Why don't you look into the special work permit for recent graduated students? A lot less burden on you, and it fits her situation much better (assuming she was going to school full time at a university or college).

So the real question is, are you ready to support her like a husband does for his wife?

I am thinking if those are all you need, a lot of people will just be getting perminent resident card because all you need is a bank statement... is that true?

How long have you been dating? A bank statement and a bunch of pictures isn't going to cut it for proving your relationship. The proof you send in is what will decide whether they think you are just scamming (fake marriage/prearranged set up to get someone PR status) or legitimately trying to sponsor your wife/commonlaw spouse. In the application form, you'll also have to provide lots of details and timelines of your relationship.
For me, I had everything from phone bills (showing I called my wife in Japan), emails, pics (of everything from when we started dating, trips we went on, to the first time we met each other's parents), insurance papers for the car we were sharing, plane ticket stub showing I went to go visit her, papers showing we were legally married in Japan, etc etc.
If you only want to do this to "help her out" so she can work here, it is NOT something I'd recommend doing.
Another option is depending on what country she's from, she can apply for a working holiday visa which is good for 1 year. But she'll probably have to go home first and apply.

1, she can convince her boss to nominate her for BC PNP during that 1 year, or
2, after 1 year, apply for immigration through CEC path.
Since she graduated from college, I believe she is capable to do her own research on www.cic.gc.ca under "working after graduate" for the work permit, and "immigration" for PNP and CEC.
