Carpenter and family looking to move to Canada from UK
Hi there.
I'm so sorry if this has been repeated elsewhere. Had a look but couldn't see anything that was as relevant as I was hoping for.
My husband and 1 and 3 kids are looking to move to Canada. We have family in Ontario so ideally there. He has 8 years experience as a qualified carpenter/joiner (we are Scottish)
We are hoping to apply down the federal skilled trades program through express entry?? Correct?
We are about to book the IELTS test then apply once that's sorted.
We don't have a job offer!! How difficult have people found it to get job offers especially with lmia and so on.
Do we need to have his credentials/qualifications verified?
Anything else?
It's all so new to us and confusing.
Any help, tips, suggestions would be so gratefully appreciated.
Thank you in advance 👍🏻.
I have a few questions.

You need more than that to be able to apply - see below.
You'll also need to check his points score on the CRS. He'll need to be scoring above approx 460-480 to be in with a chance. If he's not at the moment, then you know he'll need a job offer and for you to go over on a Temp Work Permit first.
HTH a bit, best of luck.

It is very difficult to find an employer willing to support and LMIA from the UK. You will probably need to travel to Canada as a visitor to job hunt.
