Im going to attend the upcoming information session in Manila on February 17,2017... My ielts exam would just be finished by then which is scheduled one day ahead of the info session. By then, i dont have yet the ielts results. However, i already gathered the other important documents like ECA , cert of employment, proof of funds, resume.. Except for the ielts result that i need to wait for 14days for the official result. Am i still eligible to be given an eoi and ita?.. Or should i wait for the april 2017 info session in which i already have the ielts result.. Im so worried of not getting an ita upfront which i think will be more faster processing. Thank you for replying in advance.
We are also attending and hoping to get some good news out of it. However, based on the information on the registration page, I don't think ITAs will be issued. They will be back in April 2017 with employers and job offers may be issued then.
The Atlantic Canadian Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island will be in Manila promoting the soon to launch Atlantic Immigration Pilot Project.
We will be presenting on the following:
- Pilot project criteria;
- Atlantic Canada employment opportunities and priority sectors;
- Immigration pathways to Atlantic Canada, and;
- The high quality of life Atlantic Canada offers potential newcomers.
This is step one of our Pilot promotion process.
We will be coming back to the Philippines in April 2017 with employers who will conduct interviews with high skilled candidates matching their employment needs.
Those applicants who receive job offers may be eligible to apply for permanent residency through the Pilot (or another Provincial immigration stream).
All individuals interested in pursuing future immigration opportunities to Atlantic Canada should begin preparing before our April return:
- Language exams, i.e. IELTS General Training
- Educational credential assessment (ECA)
- Proof of work experience
- Sufficient liquid settlement funds
