i'm a pinoy working as an poultry worker here in BC, under a low skilled visa- does this news includes us?

No, this class is only for skilled temporary workers. If you are low skilled, try to upgrade to semi-skilled under BC or AB provincial nominee program (PNP) and then you will qualify for PR.

tell me, how does one qualify for a semi skilled work or visa? my stay here has given me headaches of whether i should continue working here since as you've said low skilled workers have no chance of attaining PR status

First look at BC PNP at http://www.ecdev.gov.bc.ca/programsandservices/pnp/ and look at their semi-skilled classes of work. If you can get a job offer doing one of those things, you can apply to the BC PNP. If not, look at Alberta PNP at http://www.albertacanada.com/immigration/immigrate/ainp.html and look at their semi-skilled classes of work. If you can get a job offer doing one of those things, you can apply for the AB PNP.
