A Finnish citizen planning to immigrate to Canada

[Foxtrot]

I am Finnish citizen, and I am planning to move to Canada in future. According to my initial research, I'll need to apply for immigration from Canadian embassy in London, UK. There's no immigration section in Canadian embassy in Helsinki.

 I'm aiming for Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa or Monteral region, and I am a skilled IT professional from Master Data Management and Business Intelligence side.


 So what are your recommendations? Is it a right decision for me to move to Canada? How's the job situation there? I've checked job requirements on online job portals and I am quite qualified for many. Just lacking my presence and no work permit. Any other suggestions?

 Cheers!

Hi, as member tiarachel85 suggested, the IT profession is out from the list, but you can still apply if you have a job offer.

For details, pls visit the official website of Canadian immigration.

Yes - as others have said, to immigrate, you will need a job offer in Canada since IT is not one of the professions on the Federal Skilled Worker occupation list.

Good luck.
