Points for visiting Canada
Having read through some of the old posts, there has been talk of points
being awarded under adaptability for previously visiting Canada. There is no
sign of this on the cic website. Is this a possible point gainer?
Cheers

Re: Points for visiting Canada
No, there are no points for previous visits to Canada. Only under some
Provincial selection programs previous visits to particular Province may
count for something.

Re: Points for visiting Canada
Thank you Andrew,
Without arranged employment I only get 60 points!
Education = 5 (Secondary school credential)
Language ability = 24 (English - High Proficiency, French - Moderate
Proficiency)
Work Experience = 21 (9 years as a software developer, 4 of which as a
consultant)
Age = 10 (32)
Arranged Employment = 0 (I can't imagine that this is a realistic
achievement unless the applicant knows someone with their own business)
Adaptability = 0 (I was born in Germany and travelled to new places every 3
years as my dad was in the forces. I think this makes me very adaptable but
it doesn't count because it wasn't to Canada :-( )
What possible options are open to me? To take a 2 year diploma or a degree
on a part time basis would take years!
Cheers
Jez

Re: Points for visiting Canada
You may consider finding job in Canada first and get here on work permit,
although without any post secondary education it may be difficult. Or find
yourself a Canadian spouse. With lack of post secondary education it may be
impossible to get positive HRDC opinion for Arranged Employment in your
field.

Re: Points for visiting Canada
I already have a wife, and I'm pretty sure she'd be a bit annoyed if I got a
Canadian wife too
OK, for arguements sake, lets say I manage to get a job in Canada on a work
permit. Can my family also come with me and live in Canada as temporary
residents? Could I apply for PR as soon as I got there? I would have a job
and therefore a job offer so I would have enough points!

Re: Points for visiting Canada
Yes, if you obtain work permit your family may be granted temporary resident
visas. Having a job in Canada in itself will not give you needed points -
other criteria must be met in order to get points for it.

Re: Points for visiting Canada
Surely, if I have almost enough points already, and all I need for the
remainder is to get a job offer, then having a job (and therefore the offer
of it continuing when I get PR) then that will give me the points I need?
This is academic anyway, as you say I am very unlikely to get a job in
Canada without post secondary education!
