Immigration to Canada

contact canadian embassy in abu dhabi and ask for reference. you need to have valid agent for this thing, too many crooks going on. be carefull and hope you can get your green card.

Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.

Immigration is processing by the Canadian Embassy in UK. Abu Dhabi deals only with visitors/tourists visas . You do NOT HAVE TO do the immigration through the lawyer or representative. But it always helps. I will PM you later, check your Inbox.

... "SUN" is not the mother's child, but our Galaxy's STAR!...

I recommend you do it yourself. Consultants take too much money for doing nothing.

Thanks for all your valuable comments.

I agree with Qatari sun. We as individuals do not know whom to contact.I guess they will not entertain in the embassy/ consulate..

In case of agents, they will be representing our case and acting on your behalf.

Yes, at a high price though

But I am still thinking !!!

Dunno about the consultants.  Watched a special on the Canadian news last summer where under-cover reporters paid surprise visits to immigration "consultants" in Toronto with questions.  I forget the number, but the majority were scam artists.  They were mostly Chinese preying on other Chinese though, so you might not encounter so many in that specialisation  here.

Minimum Work Experience Requirements

You must meet the following minimum work experience requirements to be eligible to apply as a skilled worker:
You must have at least one continuous year of full-time, paid work experience or the equivalent in part-time continuous employment.
Your work experience must be in the category of Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B on the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC). See below for instructions on determining the NOC category for your work experience.
You must have had this experience within the last 10 years.

National Occupational Classification

The NOC is a classification system for jobs in the Canadian economy. It describes duties, skills, talents and work settings for occupations in Canada.

Determining Your NOC Category

To determine how many points you can earn for your work experience, go to the Descriptions of Occupations page on the NOC website. You will find a link to the NOC site in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page. Follow the instructions to find the NOC category that matches your work experience.

If the initial description and list of main duties match what you did at your last job(s), you can use this experience to earn points under the selection factors when you apply as a skilled worker.

If the description does not match your work experience, then you might not have the experience you need to apply as a skilled worker. Look through the NOC list to see if another occupation matches your experience. Check all the jobs you had in the past 10 years to see if you have at least one continuous year of work experience in a job that will qualify you as a skilled worker.

You do not meet the minimum requirements if:
none of your work experience is on the NOC list or
your experience did not occur in the 10 years before you applied.

If you do not meet the minimum work experience requirements, your application as a skilled worker will be refused.Experience Maximum 21 points
1 year 15
2 years 17
3 years 19
4 years 21

add up the total numberof points and if u can ccumulate up to 67 points u are definitely qualify to be TAXED to death in canada as an new immigrant of canada.

So I hope this one will help you to convince that u dont need a consult to do that for you.

Best of lcuk! 

Thats loads of information Paradox. Thanks

Thanks all for the  info.

Will make my moves soon.

As long as you have met the min required points at 67 or more plus u can provide all the necessary documents, I have NOT heard of single case where it has been declined.  

There could be cases where criminal records could have an effect on your chances.  But if you are clean, why bother to spend on thousands for the agent fee?

Listen, it doesnt take a rocket scientist to fill up the forms and submit the necessary documents to the authority.

Please proof to em otherwise. Thanks 

i think you must read this:

your application as you said was filed just 4 months ago, so you might be affected of this new law

hi, ive read one of ur comments regarding canada immigration, u seem to have some sound avice. can u also give me advice as i am also interested? thanks!

The points that paradox3696 was very thoughtful! As a Canadian, I appreciate all the hard work and effort with people trying to get into Canada legally.

One important thing to note as an addition, be very careful of recruiters asking you for a fee. The Canadian companies looking for skilled workers would pay for you to be there. If recruiters ask money from you, it's probably not a good idea to work with them. Canadian companies come with an understanding that there is no double dipping from recruiters.

This may not apply to you, but I have been aware of many Filipino agencies stationed in the Philippines asking for fees. The Canadian government can't do anything about this. The Canadian employer would only learn of this after the person is employed.

Good luck in your quest!
