I love Canada and really wanna find a job here, I am planning to stay here for long.
I actually applied IEC but not lucky enough to be drawn.. Wondering any way I could get a work permit to work & live in this beautiful country.
I am working in a international bank right now under product and marketing department. Have possessed 4 years experiences. Thank you guys for the advice.

If you can find a willing employer and that employer successfully applies for an LMIA, you can then apply for a work permit.

Thank you so much for the reply! I understand but as long as I am in Hong Kong, I am not quite sure the possible way OR kinda jobs are more easy to get the chance. I truly want to have the opportunity to make my dream comes true.

To be brutally honest, obtaining a job or a willing employer in Canada, while you are outside the country, is extremely difficult. Have you considered immigration?

Thank you again for being so honest and telling me the truth. I am afraid immigration would be difficult for me too as my job nature may not under the "skilled job" and investment immigration could cost a lot. So maybe the only chance is to pray for IEC :( but it is all about luck anyway.

Why do you think your job isn't a skilled job? Based on your original post - it sounds like it should be NOC A, B or 0.

Agreed securing a job offer is next to impossible.

I am working in a bank back office as a product manager (Business, Retail bank). Believe it should be under “0”. Firstly, I think title and years of experiences do affect the point I got right? I only got 4 years of experiences, I remember I did the score test but only got maybe ard 300(not precise). :(
So do you guys mean I should try immigrate then get a job after I live in Canada?

Yes - immigrate first, then look for a job in Canada. Unless you have an IEC, finding a job in Canada will most likely not happen.
