Hey guys. I wish to apply for residency in Canada using my trade which falls under NOC code 7312.
will i need to get a red seal or have my trade recognized,or simply use my Irish trade papers.if i get residency this way will it cover the whole of Canada.I have searched endlessly for this answer as i wish to do all this myself rather than pay Global visa 3000euro.
I appreciate any help you guys.
From the horses mouth
To apply, you must:
plan to live outside the province of Quebec (Note: The province of Quebec chooses its own skilled workers. If you plan on living in Quebec, see Quebec-selected skilled workers for more information),
meet the required levels in English or French for each language ability (speaking, reading, writing, and listening),
have at least two years of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work experience)* in a skilled trade within the five years before you apply,
meet all job requirements for that skilled trade as set out in the National Occupational Classification (NOC), and
have
an offer of full-time employment for a total period of at least one year** or a certificate of qualification in that skilled trade issued by a provincial or territorial body.***
*** In Canada, only the provinces and territories can issue Certificates of Qualification in the skilled trades. To get this certificate, the provincial or territorial trades authority must assess your training, trade experience and skills to decide if you are eligible to write an exam to be certified.
So your Irish trade papers aren't enough. Job Offer, or write and pass the red seal.
