Yorkshire to Calgary
hi there, I know this has probably been asked million times, but I'm really wanting to move to Canada, but no idea where to start, whether to use a representative (upto 3k apparently) or not, I've been on some sites and none make no sense, If anyone can help or point me in the right direction this would be great, thanks for your time!

Re: Yorkshire to Calgary
Hi, welcome to BE. .... Please take a moment to read the Site Rules.
There are several options and routes to a visa, employment, and residence in Canada, so please can you tell us a little more info about yourself, your age, family, career/qualifications etc.

Re: Yorkshire to Calgary
NOC sounds like it would be:
9522 Motor vehicle assemblers, inspectors and testers C
Possibly:
7321 Automotive service technicians, truck and bus mechanics and mechanical repairers B
7322 Motor vehicle body repairers B
The latter (Bs) might qualify you for an application under the Federal Skilled Trades Program.

I have looked on here, but answering the questions they saybi dont qualify, not sure of this is down to an emglish/french test that needs to be done, but i have spoke to a representative and answered all questions and they said I do qualify, so juts not sure what to do, I know it sounds daftvbut I don't suppose there's anywhere that's a more easily understood way of doing it, just getting lost the more and more I look, sorry for being a pain

So are you saying yes to the English test question? You're not eligible without one, so that will be why the test is saying you're not eligible. So say yes to that for now (you can just assume max points for now as a native English speaker), and then let us know that changes it.
Also, what amount are you putting for proof of funds? That's often another common one where people fail the eligibility.
Take the test again and let us know what it says. If it says you're eligible then that's great, but it's only the first step - it means you're eligible to enter the pool of applicants. But once in the pool, only those scoring high enough are selected and invited to apply for PR. So you next need to check your score on the CRS tool - https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigr...d/crs-tool.asp
Again, let us know what that says too. The good news is that the points threshold for FST applications is lower so hopefully you'll be eligible.
No need to use a representative unless you have complicated circumstances (criminal record, medical issues etc). £3k would actually be very cheap, a reputable one would normally be £5k+ for a PR app, so definitely save your money towards the move as that's expensive enough without throwing consultant fees in to it as well!
HTH.

Re: Yorkshire to Calgary
sorry, not had chance to get on here, so calculated my score it's only 278, could do with a nomination from a state to boost my score it seems, is there anywhere that I can look where I just get a list of what I need to do from start to finish, seems everywhere I look it tells me something different, and I'm useless with all this, thanks

Province…..Canada doesn't have states. May not be needed depending on other factors.

Re: Yorkshire to Calgary
And can you give a breakdown of your score? A precise one so we can see if there is any way for you to get more points or if you'll lose points soon due to age, etc?
Thx.

Re: Yorkshire to Calgary
I’ll take a proper look tomorrow, but on an initial glance it looks as though you’d be eligible for the Federal Skilled Trade program.
