PR route ahead (Living and working in Canada)

[Simondial]

Hi Guys,
I have just completed a year of living and working in Canada having come from Ireland in August 2012.
I work as a Carpenter in Alberta.
I would like to bring my wife, child and our second (Un-born) child to Canada ASAP.
I am wondering if the 'Canadian Experience Class' would be my best option, I believe I also qualify under the 'Federal Skilled Programme'
I am tired of being so far away from my family and am looking to get them here as quickly as I can.
My English Exam is done so I am ready to start the application.
Any advice on how to proceed would be most welcome.

Thanks,
Simon.

Give your are eligible under CEC and FSW, two reasons to apply under CEC rules:
Processing times: 12 months CEC vs 15 months FSW
No cap for your occupation (under FSW they accept 100 applications / year for certain trades, and I believe 'carpenter' falls into thatcategory).

Don't forget to apply for your police clearance certificates from any country in which you or your dependents lived 6 months or more.

Good luck!

That clears things up a bit.
Thanks a lot Natinthehat
