Best way for me to become PR

[lf751]

I'm hoping someone can guide me in the right direction for PR.

I'm a British citizen (Welsh) with GCSE and I've done a few college courses and a university course but dropped out only gained a few certificates.

In terms of work I've never been employed however I have been self employed for around five years as a game developer and have a published video game, however not much earnings.

I'm not sure what to go for but I'm guessing the self-employed route would be best especially because video games are on the list for cultural contribution, what can you suggest? And is there anything else I should do such as the language test and maybe learn French to improve point score.

Assuming under 30 apply for IEC working holiday which is for 2 years, get Canadian experience and go from there.

I got accepted to apply for working holiday but couldn't get my criminal records in time so I'll have to try again.

Does it allow me to stay longer or do I still have to stick to 6 month visits?

You can stay longer AND work.

Oh wow I didn't know that, I thought it just allowed me to work for a 6 month stay.

Thank you so much for the advice.
If I get accepted for that and work in Canada what route do I take to get PR?

If you mean only a UK police certificate you could have uploaded proof that you had applied and then supplied the actual certificate later.

Working holiday as a UK citizen allows you to work in Canada for 2 years , it is an open work permit not a visitors permit.

You need to get a job classified as a NOC 0,A or B for at least 1 year then maybe you will be able to apply through Canadian experience (CEC)without a degree though you might be disadvantaged but always worth a go.

Sounds as though you need to spend a lot more time researching the immigration programs on the CIC immigration site.

Oh I wish I knew that now I have to apply and wait again, damn.

Well thanks for the help.
