Canada Skilled Worker Imigration?

Posted March 13th, 2012 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

I have been wanting to imigrate to Canada as a skilled worker for quite some time but have came across a bump in the road already. I have a 2 year degree (working on bachelors) and have been working as a Marketing Coordinator for the past 3 years. The problem is, marketing does not seem to be on the Skilled Worker Classification List. I had read that there may be a few exceptions and was wondering if anyone knows what they could be? Could I have any chance of becoming a permenant resident or should I just give up hope? I know this is a very long process so want to start while I’m still sort of young.

I am American if that means anything, and really dont want to stay here the rest of my life for several different reasons.

Thank you!

Immigration to Canada as a Skilled Worker?

Posted December 22nd, 2011 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

I am an English/British citizen and it has been my plan for many years now to emmigrate to Canada. I am expecting a 2-1 for my Batchelor’s degree in Software Engineering, after which I will do a 1 year Master’s degree in the same area. I have 15 months full time paid experience in the industry. I will finish this my Master’s degree summer next year. I have the highest level proficiency in English (obviously, being English), and also a good level of French (France is only 2.5 hours away).Finally, my Dad’s brother and sister both live in Toronto, where I wish to emmigrate to.

I wish to emmigrate immediately after I finish my Master’s degree. I understand that there are long wait times (http://www.canada.org.uk/visa-info/processing_times.htm) of 4 years for permanent residence, or 6 weeks for a work permit. I have had a very good look on the official immigration website, and I believe the only avenues I have are either to wait 4 years for a permanent residence application to be processed, or to find arranged employment and get a work permit. There are fast-track immigration options for people in my industry, but that requires a minimum of 2 years full-time experience, however I only have 15 months (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/itw-jobs.asp#jobs5).

So far this leaves me with applying for a work permit as my only option, is that correct? The Canadian immigration website says that for both permanent residence and work permits, the application must be made from outside the country.

So to sum up, I guess I would need to visit Toronto to go to job interviews, secure a job offer, then leave the country again and apply for a work permit?

Any other suggestions or comments you may have are very much appreciated!

Thanks
I forgot to mention, I will be going on holiday to Toronto this summer. Do you think it is worth trying to apply for a job 10 months in advance?

Also, I assume my situation will be taken advantage of by employers, and I will get a sub-standard wage in my first months/year in Canada. Do you think this is a fair statement?

Thanks

PLEASE HELP!!: are these the only occupation a skilled worker can apply for to imigrate. To Canada(cic.gc.ca)?

Posted October 21st, 2011 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

I have the dream of moving to Canada soon, Im from Nicaragua and the skilled worker programme is my best option, but I am a software engineer and I dont find my occupation on the list, BUT, theres this on the bottom:

NOTE: the occupations above are all Skill Type 0 (managerial occupations) or Skill Level A (professional occupations) or B (technical occupations and skilled trades) on the Canadian National Occupational Classification list.

I searched for Software engineering and it was there, so I am really confused, is Software engineering an occupation in Demand in Canada or not….. Again please and thank you so much!
Heres the link of the lists and the note is at the bottom:

What are the requirements for emigrating to Canada from the UK as a social worker?

Posted March 27th, 2011 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

I am in my final year of study of a postgraduate social work degree, and wish to emigrate to Canada when I qualify. Does anyone know how much work experience would be needed, and whether British social work qualifications are accepted in Canada? Has anyone did this before, and you did you find it? Is it tough to find a job in Canada? Thanks!

Is applying for Skill worker immigration to Canada while studding allowed?

Posted September 8th, 2010 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

Recently, CIC (Citizenship and Immigration of Canada) has changed some rules of immigration. There is a roamer among my friends that based of 2010 rules, a student in Canada is not allowed to apply for permanent residency (as a skill worker) while (s)he is in student status. I took a look at the news post but I did not find anything related to it. Is it true?
