The aim is to get Canadian experience on their resumé and potentially a domestic job reference. Whether or not the arrangements are legal, immigration lawyers say it’s common for newcomers and visitors to Canada to seek unpaid work opportunities as a way to gain a foothold in the job market — but they may be putting their status in Canada at risk by doing so.
