Best Option forward ?

[Bigdawg]

Hello again
Thank you to all who gave me your advice through my exclusion order.
As of June 2024 I left Canada as requested CBSA.
I have resided in my home country mostly. I made an express entry profile and I have a 443 score, I hope for a matching CEC or Trade draw as I would qualify for an ITA.

As of recently I have found a new job opportunity in Alberta, about to approach the interview stage. Yes, I did disclose my exclusion order to said recruiter.
It would be on a francophone work visa and would start in the summer so after June 2025. Which would fall after my 1 year band from Canada.

If I were accepted and offered the job:

Should I still apply for ARC?
Would the new temporary permit even be approved ?
Would I have to expect more screening due to my previous infraction ?
Should I consult a lawyer/consultant to determine the best possible steps forward ?
Should I just wait for my chance with EE?


Has anyone been through a similar situation?

When does your exclusion order officially end?

To avoid triggering the ARC process, you want to make sure you submit the work permit application after your exclusion order ends.

Yes, you can certainly expect more screening of the application due to the exclusion order.

None of us can comment whether the work permit will be approved or not. This will be influenced by why you received the exclusion order.

Your score is too low for CEC. CEC draws are well above 500. You can certainly also wait and hope for a trade occupation draw. I assume your specific trade is on the occupation list.

Exclusion order issued for continued work after work permit expired.
Bad legal advice but CBSA didn’t care about details of the circumstances
Exclusion order ends June 7th 2025

Yes, CEC draws were above 500 in the past but could fall due to lmia points removal and trade draw for cook which is now included in the trade list.

Ok - so then make sure you don't submit the work permit application until after June 7th.

Agreed CEC scores will drop somewhat however keep on mind that a lot of CEC applicants may have been on open work permits and not relying on the 50 points. For that reason most of us here think the score will remain around or just above 500. Of course only time can tell.

Trade draw for cook sounds like a good path for you from an immigration perspective.

Good luck.
