Hi everyone,

This has been stressing me out all day everyday.

I want to immigrate as a Skilled Worker, my uncle can give me a job in Canada as he has his own company. The job is listed in the National Occupations List. So I thought that I can send in my application with a job letter and be able to get permanent residency within a year. Now I have been hearing about this new amendment to the immigration system.

Is it best to put in my application before the new job list is produced? What are the implications if I do this, will it take longer than applications put in after the new amendments?

What if I put my application in now, then 6 months down the line, CIC contact me and say something like "your occupation is not on the new job list".

aaahhhh im sooo confused! Why do they have to confuse us all!
 
If your uncle lives in AB, MB or SK, he may be able to sponsor you as a relative under the PNP. If not, he can apply for an LMO and hire you as a temporary worker and you can get PR later through the PNP
 
If you can get a Job Offer with AEO (Arranged Employment Opinion from HRSDC) http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/en/workplaceskills/foreign_workers/poarremp.shtml , you can submit your application right away, because the changes do not concern you at all and your application for FSW will be processed with priority, no matter what the occupations are.

If you cannot get a Job Offer, as described in the link and with AEO wrom HRSDC, you'd rather wait for the canges to be published. I am waiting, because I cannot get a Job Offer and I am an International Business Specialist with a strong professional background.

Good luck.

All I have to do is submit my application and resume and just wait for calls to get an interview?
 
I've sent resumes to over 200 companies and nothing yet. It is not so easy as it seems, I suppose. However this is probably the way. After the employer likes you, he/she have to send the Job Offer to HRSDC for AEO and after that send to you the Job Offer together with the AEO so that you can add them to your documentation.

Correct me, if I am wrong. I am not an immigration expert.

Even an uncle offering a job to his niece/nephew has to ensure that there is no Canadian national or a resident available for that job.Its not very straight forward.

Yes, but no. If the job offer is for supporting the immigration procedure the employer should not prove that he/she made an effort to hire a Canadian or a PR. This is for an offer with AEO.

If the offer is for obtaining a Work Permit, it should have a LMO (Labor Market Opinion), and in this case you are right.
 
There are even ways of getting around the advertising for LMO. One of my friends got a job from a friend. His friend had to advertise the job to fulfill LMO requirements and he made the ad very specific to my friends experience. I laughed when I saw the ad because nobody else could have applied for it. Their LMO went through.

Which websites are you using to apply? What are you applying? Can it be any job?
 
Thanks for your responses. Sorry I'm still confused on what to do. I have people waiting on me in Canada and I still haven't even put my application through.

So my uncle maybe able to offer me a permanent job in his company in Canada. It will be an IT job. Problem is I dont know if I should wait for the new occupations list to see if the job will be listed. Or should I put in the application with job letter now? Will it be fast-tracked? What if I put my application in now and then the new occupations list comes out shortly afterwards and my job is not on the list, will they not fast-track it? As far as I know, on this current list they have the job that I'm going for. I spoke to a lawyer in Canada, and he told me to wait for the new list to come out, I don't know if I should listen to him or not.
