General question

[ErasmoC]

Hi! I'm an 23 year old man from the Netherlands, with a few years of work experience (waiter, retail salesperson, historical archiving). I've studied Public Administration for 2.5 years but never finished it, although I succesfully completed the first two years.

My question: What are my chances for eligibility concerning the Canadian citizenship through the skilled worker program? And what can I do to improve those odds?

Greetings

You are jumping way ahead. You need to become a Permanent Resident first through an immigration program based on your age, education, skilled work experience and language skills. An example is Express Entry. If you don’t have post secondary, you most likely aren’t eligible. A waiter and salesperson are not skilled jobs. Then after PR, you have to live in Canada so many years before you can apply for citizenship.

You can look at a working holiday visa to work in Canada, if you want. It doesn’t mean you will get PR.

Chances are going to be quite low without a degree. Finish a bachelor degree at least. Master's would be better. If you have the money, you can consider studying in Canada which is very expensive as an international student but generally gives you a better chance at PR.
