Start with Express Entry - Federal Skilled Worker. You need to be eligible to enter the pool with 67+ points. CRS score of 470+. Need IELTS and education assessments to submit profile.

The oil and gas industry has been so hard hit with thousands out of work.

Is there any possibility to get a opportunity in oil and gas in Canada.Because now I'm working with Saudi Aramco,world largest oil company,so I have rich experience in this field and also some international certifications.

Please let me know how we can got a job in oil and gas.Now how's the market in Canada for this job?

You should probably stick with your job. You definitely won't be able to get a job without being a PR first but as oil prices decreased many working in oil in Canada lost their jobs and the majority never got them back. if you moved to Canada you would likely have to consider working in another industry but your job experience is in oil and gas and there is already a lot of competition for mechanical engineering jobs in general. Have you looked at the salary and benefits you are receiving now? They may be much better than your salary in Canada with less benefits especially once you factor in taxes. There will be no housing allowance, often 2-3 weeks vacation but many in CAnada have no paid vacation, no free flights, etc.

Dear sir,

I will take that risk.Always I wish to live and work in Canada.But my CRS score is below the cut-off through express entry.What are the other possibilities to migrate to Canada for those have low CRS points and if possible can I have your number,so that I can communicate which you personally,only if you don't have any problems

Learn French to B2 or study in Canada and do a masters. You will not get a job in the oil and gas industry right now.
