University Professor noc 4121

[z_yunus]

I was in the process of applying for the NOC 4121 university professor. But the list changed on june 26. I am now completely lost as what to do now. I have enough points. Can any body suggest any alternative. One of my friends suggested me to look for provincial nominee program. Please help me with it. This maybe the case of many ppl here and it ll surely help us a lot.

PNP varies province by province, so you would have to research each one. Most require a job (i think) but until you read it for sure, you won't know. I just dont know about PNP because i haven't looked at it.
If you are in the US on a H1b then alberta's H1 program is good.

The other is to find a job in Canada first but it is tough to find a jbo in Canada as a professor from outside. I know someone who is really really very excellent at what he does and I think universities are interested in him and he is in Canada but they won't hire him because he is not a PR yet. He has published a lot of papers while doing his postdoc in Canada so you can imagine how tough it is to get a university job there while not a PR or citizen at least at early level.

This is true for university positions but I don't know about colleges.

Hi z-yunus,

It is sad that 4121 is no more in the list. Are you a "Biologist or other scientist" ? If you are then you can apply under 2121 which is a new addition to the list.

Hope you can apply.

I am lucky that I got my before the list changed. If you are a Biologist or a researcher in (Molecular Biologist, or Microbiologist), I will recommend you to take a look on the NOC 2121. You may also look into getting your CSQ from Quebec. There is no way you can get a position as a professor or assistant professor if you are not at least PR because Canada government policy is to offer jobs to Canadians and PR, for that reason at the end of each vacancy you will read this sentence: All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. Then you quickly realize that the job is not yours to grab.

does Quebec requires a job offer before considering the case for CSQ?Please let me know if I can apply there under 4121? And please tell me how to start the process

i dont think it requires a job. I dont know the process. Perhaps their website might help. i think there is a point system too.
