Any seafarers ( merchant navy - deck side ) applying for Canadian PR. If yes, how was the entire process? Just want to get an idea of how easy/difficult it was to apply.. Since I have a diploma (which is equivalent to a one year degree as assessed by WES), my points aren't really high, but I have 10+ years of experience and I meet the IELTS requirements. My wife holds a masters degree and has some foreign work experience. How good are my chances to be selected to apply for the Canadian PR?
