I never said people don't have an headway, or can't get jobs immediately after stepping off a plane. There are jobs, and there are JOBS. I only mentioned that success means different things to different people. It's a well known fact that Canada has a small job market (excellent jobs that is) and these particular jobs are highly competitive. I advised on how best one can penetrate the hidden market of these particular jobs. e.g there is a reason why international students in Canada usually become the best set of immigrants to Canada; they understand the system very well, and know how to use it to their advantage. The ''getting rich'' I meant about some particular profession means that these set of professionals don't really do anything extra-ordinary in their chosen career, but still easily earn a well above average income ($100,000 and above) when compared to other career choices, and their skills are always in demand. They also don't even need to build a network before landing a rewarding career. I guess I used a wrong choice of word (my Apology). I gave the reality of what is on ground. I also gave an advice on what new immigrants need to do to integrate successfully into the society. I wish everyone success in their endeavors.

@hartson,

I think you can look at Aussie which gives you automatic PR status in New Zealand too once you become a PR in Australia. But the reverse is not the case. And I think that if you qualify for NZ, then you most probably would qualify for Aussie(I stand corrected though).

For Aussie, check the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) @
https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work/Skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists/SOL

That would be for Independent Skilled Migration.

If your occupation is not on that list, then could check the various states for their respective lists and purse sponsorship from one of them.

Victoria is a brilliant location. And I think they are pretty straightforward.

http://www.liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au/visas-and-immigrating/occupation-lists/state-nomination-occupation-list-for-victoria#.VuHSW_mLSM8

I honestly think that the Aussie migration process is much more straightforward and better streamlined than that of Canada.

Please read the article below. (DIGITAL TALENT - Road to 2020 and Beyond)

http://www.ictc-ctic.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ICTC_DigitalTalent2020_ENGLISH_FINAL_March2016.pdf

On page 44 (Promising practice — Expediting the migration process for in-demand occupations in
Australia), you will notice that "the labour force participation rate for primary skilled migrants was 95.6% compared with the national average 64.8%." And that goes to buttress the point that immigrants do "much better" in the labour market in Aussie as compared to Canada. I say this bearing in mind that a lot of varied metrics come together and that it could be a wild generalisation. But the statistics are Aussies favour anyway!

My point is that Aussie is a very good alternative if not better depending on "where you stand" of course.

Cheers!

The express entry program of Canada was modelled after Australia's skill select program. Canada is still on a learning curve.

A job offer is the way out for New Zealand. I got about 130 points too. How can one secure a job offer there while still resident in Nigeria?

Lets not derail this thread with another matter.This is strictly for canada immigration.However,sign up with several job sites like kiwis,workhere,SEEK and other several sites

Thank you very much @Zandora. The document to be uploaded included proof of marriage.The worry still remains that the time for me to prepare and take English test is short because the next available date is 2nd of April 2016 and I have no idea when the test score will be available for uploads.So we decided to write to them stating that he is not including me in the application but even at that, the application is still requesting for my Medical report, Police report and Bio data page of my passport. I will appreciate your opinion.Thanks

mozo:


If you've got 130 points then that's pretty impressive.
How the new Zealand PR works is that every two weeks a draw is held and the priority of those selected is as follows.

1. Candidates with a job offer
2.Candidates with 140 points but without a job offer
3.Candidates with over 100 points but not up to 140

A bulk of those selected are usually those with job offers or candidates that have up to 140 points.

The challenge of getting a job offer is similar to a Canadian or Australian scenario. Difficult but not impossible. I have had at least 6 job offers from New Zealand, but the last communication usually ends with 'Let us know when you are in the country' .
In other words some (if not most) of these employers ain't ready to sponsor your visa till they have a face to face interview with the potential employee.

So you could keep applying via a company's website or through job boards but it's barely up to a 50-50 chance.
But with God all things are possible

Sixth Express Entry Draw of 2016 for Immigration to Canada 9th March 2016

CRS 473, 1,013 ITAs Issued

Clearly if your point is below 400-450 you better look for Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) to better your chance!

This January, Saskatchewan opened and within 3 days it closed because it reached the numbers it wanted.

The trick is: get all your docs ready. You create a profile and upload all your docs then submit once it opens.

That's exactly what I did.

The latter is the case.The marriage took place after he applied and before being requested by CIC to submit his docs.so he will send the mail to know the next step.Thank you very much.

Good day all, please I have an issue that I don't know how to go about it; I have a dependant that's not my biological daughter, she's my niece, the mother who was my only sister is late and she was a single mum before she passed. Now my question is how do I include her in my application? she's 12, I'm the one responsible for her and I have three boys of my own.
I'm eyeing Manitoba and it looks like they have stringent rule about dependant being applicants children. please anyone with knowledge or ideas of how To go about this will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Bosypumpin,

peddy001:
Hello house,

Thanks for this insightful thread, really helped alot. I need some clarifications on the Canadian express entry.

I'm married with a kid (7 months), 30 years, a masters degree and some professional certifications, 6 years HR experience. Wife has a Bsc and about 4 years working experience.

My question below:

1. Do we both (my wife and I) write the IETLS exams?

2. Do we use separate application or we use a single application?

3. Is it necessary we use an agent for our application process?

4. Does having a sibling who is a Canadian citizen increase your chances in any way.

Thanks so much for your honest responses.

Regards,

dupyshoo:
Please find below answers to your questions:

1)It is not compulsory that both of you have to write IELTS. However, if the 2 of you write and get good scores, it will increase your CRS and hence increase your chance of getting ITA quickly.

2) Single application

3)Nope, you can do everything yourself

4)With your years of experience and Qualification, I don't think you need to include Canadian relative. Just score very high in your IELTS.

dupyshoo:
Stop putting your personal details on internet anyhow. What is the essence of PM then?
