Hi,
I am working in IT in USA. I am on H1 and would like to immigrate to Canada under the skilled worker class. I talked with one of a friend there who is working in a small(about 5 people) environmental company. He said their company might look for a programmer.
So what are the things that they need to do. I saw the link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG72.asp#factor5 and it says 3 conditions.
* You have a full-time job offer that has been confirmed by HRSDC; - What is this process? Would this be a long process and what is the probability of success.
* Your employer has made an offer to give you a permanent job if your application is successful; - I think this should be fine
and
* You meet all required Canadian licensing or regulatory standards associated with the job. - What is this? Are there any licensing or standards for IT programmer?
Also what are the other things that the company and I need to consider for this. Can the company say they will wait till the process is finished and hire me?
Any thoughts is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
