IMO, a person in this situation would most likely have an easier time being accepted for a work visa, as long as you can convince HRSDC you will return upon termination of the visa. The somewhat difficult task may be in finding someone in Canada who would hire a foreign worker. There has to be a contract made with a job offer before the Dominican can actually apply for a work visa. In some fields (agriculture, oil and gas, etc) where there is a labour shortage, employers are willing to do anything to find employees these days, and would go through this process if they had to. Where I live, in Calgary Canada, there is a desperate need for workers. Many oil and gas companies are flying men in from Newfoundland to work, and paying for flights home once/month just because there is such a shortage of workers, and that's what it takes these days to find help.
