Thank you very much for your reply. Very helpful! I am glad that I won't have to work in my primary NOC because I am looking to pivot my career toward general management roles.
I have a few follow-up questions, if you don't mind:
- The provincial clearance thing is interesting. I tried looking it up online but couldn't seem to find much on it. Is there a resource you could link me to with more information?
- My understanding after some surface-level Googling is that once you get your PR card, you are basically free to move anywhere within Canada under the Freedom of Mobility clause of their Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Maybe it doesn't apply to PNP PRs?
- I confirmed that I indeed only have two weeks to reply to the NOI. Assuming they invite me to apply, how long do I have to submit my documents?
- Would it be an issue if ~2 years of my work experience is in my primary NOC and ~1.5 years under a different NOC? I got promoted from Engineering to Sales Management at my place of work, and am wondering if this would be an issue with my application.
- How important is it to have maintained the min. account balance in the past 6 months? I have moved around a lot in the last year and haven't kept that minimum balance in my personal account. I found out that there's a workaround to this where you can get money from your family along with a declaration letter that they are giving you that money as a gift and do not expect repayment. Is that legit?
Thank you once again for your help! I'm trying to make sure I don't rush my decision. I have a decent CRS (476) but don't want to be in a situation where I let this go and FSW draws don't resume in the near future. Cheers!
