Hi all, As part of my Skilled Workers Application, I'm putting in an Arranged Employment Opinion and need some expert advice and what NOC code my employer should mention on the application form and letter offering work. It says at the top of the application form that the job offer must fall...

Hi all, I need help with my application for the Arranged Employment Opinion part of the Skilled Worker Application. I have found a large Janitorial firm (75 plus employees) who are willing to offer me a full time position upon receiving my permanent residency. Should I avoid putting on the...

Hi all, Just a quick question. I'm wondering if I can apply for a temporary work permit (under the Low Skill Workers Program) while I am applying for a PR card under the Arranged Employment Opinion/ Skilled Workers program? This way I could stay in the country and work while the application is...

Thanks Bobby, To answer your question, yes, there is a brief description of work completed on each invoice to the companies. After just speaking with an agent from CIC, she is unsure whether self employment falls under the AEO scheme and said it was not in her jurisdiction to answer this...

Hi all, Over a period of a year and a half I worked for 8 months as a self-employed IT analyst, then 3 months on contract with a large multi-national and then another 4 months self employed again. Does this count as a year of continuous employment for the purposes of the AEO application? I can...

Hi V, Thanks for the response. I score 88 on the self-assessment test and have 1 and a half years experience as a business analyst (over a 2 job period with one of them being continuous for a year). So just to clarify, I am correct that even though my job does not fall under the 38 occupations...

Hi all, I have a degree in Business Information Systems (4 yrs) and a Higher Diploma in Integrative Psycho-therapy. The Higher Diploma is a one yr course that will allow me into the masters programme (a 2 yr programme). I've read all of the other posts on this site about whether I can include...

Hello all, I've talked to a couple of lawyers here in Vancouver and it seems the easiest way for me to get residency here is to apply under the AEO scheme. One quick question though: I understand the work categories the programme falls under but what is unclear is exactly how much work...

Thanks rupeshhari, but surely the Canadian government would conduct a thorough independent investigation of the information provided otherwise what stops anyone from submitting false pay-slips, tax returns, employer references, etc ????? To verify the information they must have some contact with...

Hi guys, I'm currently on a 1 yr working visa in Vancouver and only have 2 and a half months left on it. Yesterday I had a job offer from a company willing to sponsor me. As I'm quite desperate to stay on here I'm strongly considering taking this job offer even though I really don't get a good...

Hi all, I'm here in Vancouver on a 1 year work visa and as it expires in a couple of months I'm looking into different options to stay here as I love it here. If I was to get a job under the low-skill pilot project (e.g. janitor or food server) and work in it for 2 years does that in any way...

Thanks rupeshhari, After reading the criteria of this category I believe I do qualify but as I mentioned I would only qualify if the 2 years of work I did for the IT firm would be admissible. I can provide written letters from the employer stating my exact role and function in the company but...

Thanks for the swift response. I believe I would qualify under this category for the work I did at the IT firm, since I managed all of the companies information systems for about a year and a half and directed the activities of one other employee for a period of about 10 months - 1 yr thus I...

Hi all, I have a degree in Business Information Systems and have work experience in this field. The big problem with any application I make is that, as I had been in college part-time and receiving subsidy from the English government (thus making it illegal for me to hold a full time job), I...

Hi all, I have a degree in Business Information Systems from a top university in Ireland and am currently on a 1 year work visa in Canada. I have a total of 9 months work experience as a web designer but have much more experience in this area on a cash in hand basis. Do you think there is any...
