Hi,
We have enough points to pass the passmark without a job offer waiting.
Do you actually have to get a job after entry (if you can support yourself otherwise)? I think we would prefer to start a business but wouldn't have the criteria for business entry.
Cheers

If you apply and are granted PR visa in Skilled Workers class then you have no conditions imposed on your status after landing, except of course obligation to be physically present in Canada for 730 days in every 5 years period to keep your PR status. You can get a job, start business, invest or do nothing.

Happy New Year!

Having looked at the test and the list of occupations, we can't seem to get one that quite fits my other half's work.
He teaches maths & economics for a private company, ie not a university but a firm that runs courses for people working towards a professional exam. Quite advanced.
So he isn't a teacher of secondary school level or a uni lecturer....any thoughts, anyone?
Does the description have to exactly match the job?
thanks!
