Ok a little confused

Iam a plumber from uk

Can I apply for a twp ? If I get a positive lmo from a employer ?

Also can I apply to emigrate if I get a lmo from a employer ?

Confused with the skilled worker programme and the federal skilled worker programme or are they the same ?

The new job list , is this the jobs Canada only needs so if your not listed you can't apply ?

I reckon nobody is keen to get stuck into this one, as it would require a full explanation of the Canadian immigration process! Start by reading the wiki above,....then perhaps read it again, then ask some more specific questions if you still can't find the answers you want.

You can apply for any job on a TWP, getting an LMO is the key. Have a read of the TWP thead just below. You will see the CIC have been forced to clamp down on all new LMO applications. :@(

Sorry will try make it simpler

Can I apply to emigrate as my trade as plumber if I can get a lmo approval ?

Currently I think the answer is no , as my trade isn't on the job list posted last week by immigration

I will have a look at the threads yous have mentioned thank you

If you managed to get a LMO for a plumbers job then Yes you'd be able to live and work in Canada for a limited period of time on a Temporary Work Permit. Beyond that you'd have to apply for Permanent Residency but I'm not familiar with the process from then on.

HOWEVER, getting the LMO is probably going to be the hard part for you, especially now. As a start your potential employer will have to explain why they cannot employ a Canadian to fill the role and then provide proof that they've tried to employ a Canadian over a set period of time.

Does Canada have a shortage of plumbers? Do you have a very niche plumbing specialization? Do you need any Canada specific training or qualifications?

The reason that plumber isn't on the list of eligible occupations for Federal Skilled Workers that CIC released last week is that they are already on the eligible occupations list for the Federal Skilled Trade Program.

So you could apply for PR under that route (no job offer or LMO required).

As has been said above, have a good read of the Wiki and also the CIC website, which will give you an overview of your options.

Best of luck.

Ok read it a few times , I can plumb a house , ch syste, , drainage , under floor , solar you name it i can do it ( I am one of those people who love my job and don't mid having o go to work every week day ) but can I understand this well not really .....

One last question or two

So the fedral skilled worker and fedral skilled trade programme are different?

And what is PR for applying by that route not needing a lmo .

I apologise for the dumb questions , it seems the more I try read up on it the less I understand lol

Ry81

Ok understand the pr route now
