Hello everyone, I have been reading these threads for a couple of days now;
After visiting Qubec, Ontario and BC last year I feel it is a place I would like to live in. I am going to apply for a working holiday visa soon so I can work there and travel for a year so I can really decide if its the place for me.
If anyone can give me some advice on the folliwing that would really help...
I understand the skilled worker program is the best way to immigrate. Well I do not have any of the jobs that they require. But seeing as I am not qualified as anything and have not really got much work experience ( I have been traveling since I left school - Im 22) I wouldnt mind training as something that is a skilled job. For example maybe an Electrictian. Im wondering though, will this list of jobs change much next year?
I want to combine training as something I will like with something that will still be on the skilled list. I know its along way off as even with a qualification I will need a fews years experience. But I want to maximise my chances to qualifing for immigration to Canada.
Thanks for any Help.

The benefit you have on your side is your age! You can apply for BUNAC!
Not too sure how this works but its a "student" work visa avaiable to people up to the age of about 30 I think.
Anyway look on the WIKI above and see how BUNAC works, they only offer limited places each year but you are given an open work permit so can work anywhere. Some have gone on to be sponsored in various ways by their employers and become permanent residents

Hi, Thanks for your response.
Thats the company I was looking into regarding the working visa. So that will give me a better look into working and living in Canada.
Hopefully I can get some kind of qualification before I go next year so I can get some work experience in whatever it is I study.

Sorry, don't mean anything by that, I just couldn't resist the chance of the joke. Ever since I heard someone say "Holiday from what?" to a news item about Princess someone or other going on holiday, I have been waiting to use the line.

Good luck.
