Arranged Employment/Valid Job Offer

[TFS]

Her language scores/education are irrelevant. We do not see often an applicant with a NOC of a trade apply under the Federal Skilled Worker program so I cannot answer your question regarding not having a license.

What would you consider being the best option to apply under?

Federal Skilled Trade Class or Canadian Experience Class instead? You have to be in Canada and would have worked in Canada to apply under the Canadian Experience Class, correct? I thought the Federal Skilled Worker Class would be the best route. A little background. He is 35, married (spouse not coming to Canada) and has been a full-time welder since 2007 in Peru, has a 4-year Bachelors degree in History from Peru and has obtained the required equivalency assessment showing that his foreign diploma is equivalent to a Canadian one. Scored 8,7,7,7 on the IELTS test and 249,232,310,310 on the TEF test. Has never been to Canada but has someone who has offered a continuous, full-time job as a welder for a period of 1 year (Does not matter as this is not a valid job offer), has all the required Canadian funds, scores of 69 and 438 on the CRS.

Does he not meet the eligibility criteria requirements under the Federal Skills Worker Class?

He does not qualify under the Canadian Experience Class program.
He does not qualify under the Federal Skilled Trades program.

He only qualifies for the Federal Skilled Worker program but like I said, I do not know whether not having a license will prove to be an issue.

Thanks.

For the CRS point system, his 4-year Bachelor Degree in Peru was assessed showing that it is equivalent to a Canadian one. That is 21 points on the CRS points system correct?

Thank you all the answers for the case study.

What if a person applied in Canada experience class and claimed that he has valid job-off to get 50 points but unable to get a letter from his employer for next full year job commitment? As you know many companies doesn't support his employee PR process and it is a normal situation that he/she will not have future one year job offer. Pls suggest alternate way, if any, to satisfy CIC.

Search for the ICT thread to see what other applicants provided in order to obtain those points without having a letter from their employer.

Ok, thanks so much.

When doing the CRS scores, even though his wife did the language tests, has a high education in Peru, but will not be accompanying him to Canada, her information does not count towards the CRS point system, right? It would just be solely his information that does into calculating the scores?
Correct.

Also, his work experience of 11 years as a welder with no proper license would count as a skilled experience?
Yes and no - yes under the FSW program, assuming he can prove it with letters of reference and supporting documents. Under the FST program, if a license/certificate is required in Peru, he would have to prove that he gained the experience with a license or certification.

IRCC does not expect foreign candidates to obtain Canadian licenses before they arrive in Canada, but they do tell you whether the license will be required before he can work as a welder in Canada:

"Trade certification is compulsory in Alberta and available, but voluntary, in all other provinces and the territories."

So outside of Alberta, no license/certification is required by the province (employers can require it if they want).
