Hi guys, I've been in Toronto for a month now on the IEC working holiday with a view to making it permanent residency once I get a job offer. A few of the roles I have been interviewed for require work in the US and I can't find a visa that would cover this, anyone more clued up on this than I...

I just got my results in from test in UK on 9th Sept with British Council and I got 9 in everything except a 6.5 in writing... I'm assuming it's worth a shot at a remark?

Okay makes sense, thanks for the info guys

I'm away to send off my SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) certificates to have my HNC in Engineering assessed by WES. It says you don't get your documents back from them so obviously don't want to send the only copy of my certificates. Can I photocopy it and send that in or do I have to...

Hello, I was wondering what NOC code I would use for my Trade Equivalency Assessment application. My apprenticeship was in engineering and I am classed as a dual-skilled (or cross-trained) engineer. There does not appear to be an NOC code for this so I am struggling to decide what to put on the...

Hey guys, I am just wondering which credentials I should upload to be assessed by WES. I spent a year doing an National Certificate (NC) in engineering and an SVQ2 engineering apprenticeship. I then spent a further 3 years doing a Higher National Certificate (HNC) and SVQ3 also through the...

apologies, should have mentioned all this was done in Scotland

Can't find much info about apprenticeships... I did a 4 year apprenticeship in Engineering, I'm dual-skilled so it is both electrical and mechanical. It was continuous, paid, full-time work with one day a week at the local college where I earned a National Certificate (NC) and then Higher...

I hit the post button too soon, what an idiot! As I was saying, studied one day a week at Technical College and rest of the week was working with a fully qualified engineer on the factory. At college I gained a Natonal Certificate (NC ) over 2 years and a Higher National Certificate (HNC) over...

Hi all, I've read through a few posts, namely Express Entry in a nutshell and several about apprenticeships. I'm just looking for some further info. I'm Scottish and just finished my engineering apprenticeship in August and have since been working offshore as an engineer. I studied one day a...
