I really wish to immigrate to Canada, specifically through Express Entry stream since it sounds the easiest path for my case. I went to the website and calculated my points, I came up with 430 points.

- My IELTS score is overall 8.0 and I don't think I can raise it any better.
- More importantly, I don't have a Canadian Employment Offer nor PNP certification.
- As a matter of fact, I am not living in my home country, thus, I am in a temp. visa in another country.


I am facing two issues here:

1. I don't want my current employer (who doesn't speak English whatsoever) to know about my intention to move elsewhere. -Once all my immigration papers are settled and ITA is issued, I'd consider informing my current employer about my decision, this is mainly to minimize my risks.
However, Knowing that CIC may call my employer to verify my employment, how can I deal with this dilemma?

2. I have been applying to over 300+ jobs everywhere across Canada (used sites like: Indeed, Seek, LinkedIn, direct company, ..etc), no one seems to hire from overseas. I am highly concerned about my welfare for the first 6 months to survive in Canada. I don't have anything to show for financial assets.

I would like to know if there is any Canada-based TRUSTED recruiting agency which can I rely on to secure me a short-term contract job?? This is very important please if you have any idea on how to help me. I am ok with $14-18/hr or even minimum wage so long as it covers my basic needs.

Also, a job offer will help me a lot in increasing my points.

I know that there are a lot of Indian recruiters but I can't reach them. If anyone has experience with trusted ones, please do let me know.

1. You cant avoid it. Nothing stops CIC from carrying out their verifications
2. you can get additional points for a job if it has LMIA. for LMIA, an employer has to show that they could not find any PRs or Canadians to do the job so you should be having some niche skills and they should be convinced that they can offer you a job without seeing you in person.

You need to have financial assets to go to Canada to show as proof of funds.

LMIA takes 4-5 months and costs the employer money

Preference is always given to PR and Citizens

Once you have PR you can get a job in a local supermarket while you search for a career position. As soon as they know you have PR they will be more interested (providing you're the right person for the job).
