Can I apply without arranged employment or better to look for it before applying

[rslcanada]

Hello everybody! can u enlighten me on this... Do we need to have an arranged emplyment first before applying? I am preparing our application papers now and still thinking about it. Btw, score is 71 :-\

According to the eligibility criteria, your application is eligible for processing if:

•you have an offer of arranged employment, OR
•you are a foreign national who has been living legally in Canada for one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student, OR
•you are a skilled worker who has at least one year of experience in one or more of the occupations listed here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp#list

After meeting any of these criteria you need to have 67 points, which you already have. Now you must also meet the following minimum requirements to qualify as a skilled worker:

•you have at least one year of continuous full-time paid work experience or the equivalent in part-time continuous employment, AND
•your work experience must be Skill Type 0 (managerial occupations) or Skill Level A (professional occupations) or B (technical occupations and skilled trades) on the Canadian National Occupational Classification list, AND
•you must have had this experience within the last 10 years.

See Pahe 24 of instruction Guide

"Visa Office requested for the processing of your application: Write the name of the Visa Office which serves:
•
your country of nationality; or

You will send your application to Sydney, NS as instructed but they will forward it to Buffalo when they are done with it.
