Film Maker, Visual affects professional with awards seeking legal immigration and/or in Canada
Hi!
As the sujbect suggests, I am a creative professional seeking to advance my career in Canada. I have made a few short films, ' C4 ' and ' The Hard Dream ' - and have won several awards.
I am in Iran and while I get invitations for various festivals which would allow me to come and become an illigal, like I some people I know, which I do not like. I prefer to respect local law and use my skills and experience, plus I really just want to advance my career and not close the door behind me from where I am from.
I have a college diploma in Computer programming but have worked on countless films here in Iran, which has few special affect supervisors, giving me a lot of exerpience and constant work.
under NOC, 5131, I have most qualifications except it says College degree must be in Film? would my programming help with that regarard or should i forget 5131?
I also have a friend that is a canadian citizen, who was in Iran shooting a documentary. He is estabilishing an entertainment company in Canada that distributes his own works, develops a video game and does film and other media production.
He has expressed interest to work with me but is not powerful enough to hire me permanantly at this time. He will be looking at government projects like OMDC to do fund raising while he invests himself in his company.
I wanted to write in this forum and ask for advice regarding how I can proceed and options available.
I would greatly appreciate your time and any suggestions!!
