Let me tell you how it works -
based on my experience, can be different now, do your research
There are 2 programs to migrate to Canada as a Permanent Resident under skilled workers. One is Federal (can apply without job offer) and another one is Provincial.
Under Federal program, they have certain criteria (that changes every year) you need to match in order to apply for PR. The basic are
- PR points (at my time it was 67). It is multiple sets of questions that ask your education, age, work experience etc. If you score atleast 67 you are eligible for next round. You can google "Canada PR calculator" or here is one for you http://www.canada-da.com/calculator.html
- Next go through the eligible occupation list (I have pasted in this page), to check whether your experience/occupation matches with it. Also they change this list every year.
- Than you apply with all the documents in the checklist. You need to show documents related to work experience/birth certificates/transcripts/IELTS score etc
Under provincial program, you need to have a job offer.
Eligibility Criteria:
