Im interested in working in canada with a possibility of becoming a permanent resident, and further a citizenship as a heavy diesel mechanic for companies such as Cat, Liebherr, John deere etc. Im currently a earthmoving engineer looking after equipment in the uk and work directly for a manufacturer.

My question is, and ive seen this quite a lot in the threads on here, how do i go about getting points as here in the uk, i have a nvq which is a trade qualification. It would be the company i currently work for, that i wish to move with, however i see alot of nvq have to be reassesed by lmia. How long does this take and how successful is it. Im currently 27 and would be looking at possibly 29 when i try to move. I studied my trade from 13 to 16 and 16 to 19. Then experience until now.

Thanks for all of your help.

You post is a bit confusing. To the best of my knowledge, nvq is an education / skill level. An LMIA is permission for an employer to hire a foreign worker in Canada. So I don't understand what "nvq have to be reassesed by lmia" means.

If you want to work in Canada, the first step is to find an employer in Canada who is willing to give you a job offer. As a next step, that employer must go through the LMIA process and obtain an approved LMIA (this includes advertising the job to prove no Canadian could be found for the role). If the LMIA is approved, you then apply for a closed work permit tied to that specific employer.
