Dear Nimmiboy,
i have made an application to migrate to Canada under skilled worker category in Dec 2007. the application included my family as well and i have send it straight to the Canadian High Commission in London, i have recieved an application number and instructions that they will contact me when my turn comes (the time for applications made from Saudi Arabia was 4 years)
so far i have not been asked to submit anything and i have been waiting since then ... my questions: -
is this going on the right direction ?
do i need to engage a representitve or immigration lawyer ?
i have been residing in saudi fro almost 11 years now, working as a vice president and have maintained a stable life in here so far ... i was attracted by the score i made in the point system and though this could be an easy process but from what i have been reading here i think it is not working with me ... pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease advice
pleas
