Hi,

I am new to this forum and was browsing thru the cic.gc.ca website and was looking on "Skilled workers and professionals" program and on eligible programs page "cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp#eligible" my profession is not listed. I am a software engineer and I fall under the 217* code. what does this mean?

Thanks,
Samuel

It means you would have to get a job offer before you would qualify under the Skilled Worker program. Read the program info for Arranged Employment.

IELTS TRF is must before sending the application. IELTS TRF and PCC is sent along with the application.
