Hi,
I'm just starting to take the first steps to moving to Vancouver from the UK. The self-employed visa seems to be the one that fits due to the industry I work in seems to be self employed in Vancouver but when looking through the qualifying list of jobs, there's nothing that alludes my profession. I do, however, find jobs like 'paste-up artists' that kind of went out with the introduction computers in publishing 25 years ago. Leads me to think that the qualifying jobs list has not been updated for a long time and best to ignore.
Is this correct?
A comment from another forum said '...then work out the immigration details once you get here'. Does this mean it's easier to obtain a visa if already in the country with a job or job offer?
Does anyone have any thoughts about the withdrawal of the Information Technology temporary visa and how this will the tech industry in Vancouver?
Thanks in advance for any advise + comments.
