If you are serious about emmigrating to Canada there is nothing to stop you. It means things are a little more difficult in that you have to secure a job offer first. This means getting a job offer with a positive LMO and then applying from within Canada whilst working under a temporary work permit, but from what I have heard of people who have done it, it is not that difficult. The employer has to have been advertising the job for 2 weeks or more during the last 3 months. Or if you can find a company prepared to wait for your residents status to come through you can try to secure an AEO and apply from outside Canada.priyavig said:i just received a letter saying
" Your application was received after the maximum of 1000 complete Federal Skilled Worker applications per NOC 1122 was reached."
this was the letter i was dreading to receive. all hopes are shattered.
Do some research, send off CVs. If you can apply to a global company you may even be able to secure job interviews in your own country rather than having to fly to Canada.
Or, you can just wait a little over 6 months and re-apply on 1st July 2011 under Category 1 again. This time you can have everything ready. Your IELTS results, assuming you didn't take the exam prior to 1st July 2010, will still be valid. Although there's no guarantee that NOC 1122 will still be on the list, the previous list of 38 occupations was available for around 2.5 years so there's no reason to think that CIC will definitely change it in July.
Best of luck, and do not lose hope!
