Which program would be right for me?

[utopie]

Hi everybody,

I applied under the Canadian Class experience but my application was rejected as I didn't have enough worked hours in my skilled work experience.
I have been in Canada for 7 years, did a Masters at the University of Alberta (full-time) and taught as a university instructor (part-time) at the same time.
I am now in my 4th year of a PhD (full-time) and I am still teaching as a university instructor at two different universities (UofA and Grant MacEwan).
I also speak both official languages fluently (I'm French).
Do you think I should go for the federal skilled program? I think that would be what's best for me but they have a cap:they only process 500 applications per year. I'm scared it will take years for me to finally get it.

To qualify for the Federal Skilled Worker program, your occupation needs to appear on the list below:

If your occupation does not appear on the list below or if it appears but has reached its cap, then you need a job offer in Canada to apply.

Hope this helps.

Actually it's 120 out of 500 (not 1000).

S/he is probably applying under the PHD stream, which has 1000 places.
