Immigrate to Canada Without a Job Offer

The ever-expanding Canadian economy does not have enough personnel to handle the gaps created by senior citizens’ retirement. This vacuum in the workforce has created a high demand for suitable candidates to handle the numerous jobs currently on the market. There are hundreds of new startups and growing companies that feed this demand.

So what does this mean for you?

The Canadian population is not growing at a rate high enough to meet the demands of the job market. Therefore, Canada is looking for skilled and talented foreign workers to contribute to the growing economy. These workers are allowed to become permanent residents as well. As we all know, Canada is highly multicultural and very welcoming toward international immigrants.

Many jobs are currently in demand, and if your skills are appropriate for these jobs, then the federal government or provincial governments in Canada extend their welcome to you. And they are in quite a hurry.

There are two systems (programs) in place through which you can potentially move to Canada without a job offer in hand:

The Express Entry System

The Express Entry System is a means of securing permanent residency in Canada. To determine whether you are eligible for a Canadian PR through the Express Entry System, you need to undergo an assessment. You can take our free assessment  to determine your eligibility. If you happen to be eligible, you need to create an online profile. Then, your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score is calculated using the various information you provide.

You will then be added to the pool of applicants. There are three programs in place that are part of the Express Entry System.

Federal Skilled Worker Program

This program is suitable for those who are skilled and have the right qualifications to take up managerial responsibilities and have professional occupations.

Federal Skilled Trades Program

This program is suitable for those skilled in the trade and have the right qualifications and experience to handle related responsibilities.

Canada Experience Class

This program is suitable for those who have over one year of focused work experience (in a particular trade or occupation) working in Canada in the categories mentioned above.

You must keep in mind that skilled workers and tradesmen across the globe are competing with you for an Invitation to Apply for Canadian PR. Therefore, it is essential to maximize the CRS score to improve your chances.

Immigration lawyers and leading consultants can help you with this. Reach out to us today at Immilaw Global for more information and to get your application started.

Provincial Nomination Program

Canada comprises different provinces, and many of them invite potential immigrants to apply through the Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) directly. You do not need a job offer to apply.

The different provinces in Canada have a high demand for various skills unique to the province. British Columbia is rather well known for the booming IT sector. However, Ontario could be your new home if you are an excellent truck driver. The jobs in demand depend on the prevailing industries in the province.

Different provinces use unique names to categorize their programs. However, the general idea remains the same:

In Demand/Critical Impact

If a province experiences severe labor shortages, those jobs are expectedly to be in great demand. These categories are critical impact categories and require skilled immigrants to take up the positions quickly. The range of jobs could vary from nursing professionals to farmers. It depends entirely on the requirement of the province.

Skilled Workers

This is quite similar to the FSWP, but you are competing with a much smaller pool of candidates. If you have the right qualifications and experience in your occupation, this program could be for you. You apply directly to the province you wish to move to should you be selected.

International Graduates

Suppose you are enrolled in a post-secondary institution in Canada for your higher education. In that case, you could be eligible for PR in that province, provided you continue to live and work there following graduation.

Applying for PNP can be very hectic. It is not as straightforward as the Express Entry System. You are required to submit various documents and handle different queries. Immigration lawyers are adept at handling the required documentation and associated procedures. Therefore, they boost your chances of success significantly.

An important thing to consider is that when you are seeking assistance for your application, you must note that only a licensed immigration lawyer or consultant is permitted by Canadian law to help you apply. If you seek assistance from anyone who is not an immigration lawyer or Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC), the Immigration and Refugee Council of Canada can reject the application right away.
