Hi, can anyone advise?
I need a job offer to qualify for the Federal Skilled Trades entry.
This is the only thing really halting our application!
I am a fully qualified carpenter. It is hard in this field of work to get an employer to offer you the required 1 year of full time employment, wait an undisclosed period of time, and assist with the application!
If I was a Hydrogeologist (like a mate of mine) on $100k a year, they would wait (as they did for a very long time) for the visa to go through as it is niche, and you are a valuable and hard to find asset to the company. I'm afraid carpentry doesn't match up in that respect for a company to commit!
My question is, how do I go about securing a concrete job offer in this field? Craigslist Vancouver has many jobs listed, but most require people to start immediately or very soon etc etc. Where else could I go for a better choice of jobs for immigrants?
