Hello! I'm very eager to relocate to Canada however, I'm not sure how to go about applying for immigration.
I'm hoping you could help me to have a better understanding of what my options are.
I recently took a free online assessment on Canadavisa.com and my results showed that the best way for me to become eligible for immigration to Canada would be either to: 1.) apply as a Federal Skilled Worker or 2.) under a Provincial Nomination Program.
Unfortunately, my current job does not fall under any of the qualifying occupations of the Federal Skilled Worker category.
On the other hand, PNP seems to offer mostly blue collar jobs such as cleaners, waiters, housekeeping staff etc.
I currently work for an airline under the Supervisory Department. My main functions are to act as the Secretary to the General Manager and perform personnel and general administrative duties for the company.
My questions are as follows:
1. Since I fall neither under the "skilled" nor "unskilled" category, to what class do I belong? Is it best for me to apply for PNP since the Federal Skilled Program is for people with doctorates?
2. I just turned 21 this year. Since I graduated quite recently, I only have one year and three months of (continuous) paid work experience. I know experience is a must in applying for immigration. Most jobs I viewed online that are similar to my current position require at least 3-5 years experience. My question is, considering my limited experience, how probable is it for me to land a job in Canada?
3. I was told in my online assessment that it is best for me to get a full-time job offer in Canada in order for me to apply for immigration. My concern is that most, if not all employers in Canada prioritize their citizens or people with work permits. So what would you suggest is the best way to find a job offer?
What should be done first? Move to Canada AND THEN find a job? Or find a job AND THEN move?
I'd like to reiterate that I am VERY eager to move and am hoping you could help shed some light on how to do it.
Thank you in advance for your time.
All the best,
Alex
