Apprentice mechanic trying to move to Alberta

[Frankiejones]

Hey guys,

I'm from the UK and spent 2 years working in Alberta, the first year I had a few jobs none of which you could call skilled work. But the second year I got a job as a apprenticeship mechanic at a car dealership, I don't have any trade certificates or qualifications all I have is work experience. They give me a job letter for when or if I get back saying id have my job and that I can continue my apprenticeship.

Would this be enough to get into Canada permanently? Been checking out the application just want to know if I'm not wasting my time.

Thanks!


Frankie.

Hey! Brother,

I am an international student, did two years diploma in Motive Power Technician program. Now I'm on PGWP and looking for jobs in automotive industry. I have got offers from mechanic shops for apprentice mechanic like Canadian Tire. I went to MTCU office to register for apprentice and they denied my registration because it requires Citizenship, or Permanent Residency or Study permit (although I have PGWP).

So now, I'm planning to apply for study permit so that I can enroll into apprentice.

My questions are
1. Let's say I've applied study permit and start apprentice, got enough experience (1 year) to apply for CEC, Will the study permit make any problem for immigration?
2. Our mechanic-apprentice falls under NOC B category - Will the apprentice be considered as work experience?

Your guidance will be highly appreciated !!
