Look at the 'IT workers' program. It does cover some developers but I'm not sure if .NET is included on the list.

Australia would probably still prove to be an easier option than Canada.

FSW1 processing time is 6-12 months. Unsure about the other catagories.
Make sure you take the eligibility test on the cic website to check if you have enough points for Canada.

Can you show any 'managerial' experience? e.g. staff mangement, project management, budgetting responsibilty, recruitment etc. When I applied last year it was 'Manager' level experience they were looking for on the NOC list.

You are right mate. They need managerial workers and I am not in that position at this moment. I am .NET Professional (Software Engineer).


Thankss.

I'm not being funny but assuming that you did your four years BSc upon turning 18 and you are now 24, how have you managed to then do four full time years of work experience in .NET development by now?

As the posts above, please look at the CIC website or the Wiki on this forum. You don't appear to be eligible for a Skilled Worker visa without a job offer, but there are plenty of other routes available.

Without knowing everything about you, we cannot tell you whether you would be eligible for them - there are over 50 ways to get a visa for Canada! So you'll need to do your own research I'm afraid.

Thanks christmasoompa. I am also doing my research at this point but you mentioned that there are plenty of other routes available ( what are these routes? )
Which information I need to post here because you said that without knowing everything. Please let me know what should I post.

Thanks for your quick reply.
