[aries9811]

Hi Friends,

I have a q: DO I NEED TO HAVE CONTINOUS EXP OF ONE YR BEFORE I APPLY FOR CANADA PR? AS I HAVE AN EXP OF 10 MONTHS and I STUIEDed AND THEN 8 MONTHS EXP.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I am currently in USA and on student visa planning to apply for PR Canada, but confused about the procedure..I wanted to know about ielts and tef exams.
1) Do I need to give the exams before submitting the Application package ?

2) And from where I can take TEF exam ?

3)I did my studies in US Is IELTS compulsory ? I have heard that sometimes depending upon the application like if my studied in US then the PR Officer might waive the IELTS exams and it may not be required then..!!! Is it true ????

4) I have 1.8 months of work experience in US(as a summer coop) and India(Full time Employee), but that has been along with the studies. Can I still Apply for PR Canada ? Or I need to wait for some more time before I get FULLTIME.

5) I might get h1b visa this year, So can I still apply under Fedral Skilled Worker PR or there is some other qouta for H1B visa. And how will it affect my application if my status changes from F1-H1B visa in USA.?

Please Answer my questions. Will Appreciate it.

You need to have at least 1 year of skilled work experience to apply as a federal skilled worker. You also have to have a job in one of 38 chosen professions or have a job offer or already be in Canada for 12 months or more. If that doesn't work out, you can look into Quebec skilled worker. See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp for your different immigration options.

1) Immigration advises that you take the IELTS and/or TEF before you apply because then you can accurately calculate your points. You don't have to. You can guess your points and take them later when you are asked but you risk that you overestimate your points, score lower on the tests, don't make 67 points total and lose your application.

2) Google is your friend.

3) Immigration advises that you do not try to bypass IELTS unless your mother tongue is English. It is also your choice to provide other documentation as proof of your English knowledge but then it's up to the visa officer what points they give you, if any.

4) You need to have minimum 1 year work experience in a skilled job. Doesn't matter what country.

5) Once you are on H1B visa for a year, you may qualify to apply for the H1B program in AB. There are a lot of threads here about this program so you should be able to find some info on it.
