Hi All

I was just wondering about the skilled worker method of immigration. I am planning to apply for permanent residency at the end of next year, as I understand it takes a long time to process, with a view to going over in 3 years from now.
I will be able to make the points however this will not be at the time of application. I have served a year and a half in the Royal Navy and I wish to apply next year when i will have only 2 and a half years experience. Can anyone tell me how this will affect my application seeing as by the time I actually finish my contract in the RN I will have 4 years work experience.

Thanks allot everyone!

Hi Chris. Im afraid you have to have all the necessary points and meet the criteria at the time you apply, so you have to wait till you have the necessary funds and continuous work experience before you put the application in.

Can anyone help in giving me an idea of the labour market in Canada. I am a nurse and have an agent who will find me a job, but I think that it is going to be more difficult for my husband. We are currently living in NZ , my husband has a degree in furniture design which he did for 2 years in England but since moving over here he has moved into boatbuilding which he loves but has no formal qualifications in. The Canadians wont recognise this will they?

Thanks Iaink I kind of suspected this was the case...
