Skilled Worker Visa Question
Hello.
A little confused, as i imagine is quite common on here.
If i am applying for the above, is it possible to do this without a job offer? Would I acrue enough points without the offer, I have degree etc.
If i obtained a Visa without a job, how long then do you have to move to Canada, in this time obviously job hunting may be easier as I would have the Visa.
On the flip side, trying to get a job offer without having the Visa sorted then this surely puts the employer off as it may be a timely process.
I am interested to hear how you guys have done it. Are most employers aware than when they make a job offer then it may take a while to obtain the Visa.
Thanks in advance
