其實這是兩條獨立的隊伍, 不防一齊申請. 我們正是這樣.
我們入紙 CIC 申請 SKILLED WORKER 時還末 CONFIRM 加拿大的工作.
申請 WORK PERMIT 後才收到 CIC 的 EMAIL, 指示我們合資格申請 SKILLED WORKER, 可入紙 HK OFFICE. 所以我們的兩個申請差不多是同時進行的.
舊年我們持著老公的 WORK PERMIT , 全家人一起到達加國生活了.
最近 SKILLED WORKER 的 VISA 也批了.
而我們入紙申請 WORK PERMIT 時, 申請表上也老實地填上我們也正在申請 SKILLED WORKER 的.
我們持 WORK PERMIT 時, 要交的 TAX 跟本地人一樣多, 福利也差不多, 可以申請 HEALTH CARD, 享用免費的政府醫療服務, 和免費的公立學校, 不過就不能申請牛奶金, 配偶和孩子也不能工作, 除非他們另外申請 OPEN WORK PERMIT, 不過 OPEN 既就簡單得多.
用 WORK PERMIT 入境, 如果你在加國工作了兩年, 而 SKILLED WORKER 還末批, 你到時可以排多一絛隊, 用加拿大經驗去申請 PR. 另外你用 WORK PERMIT 入境, 你會比份工縛住, 因為你不能轉 EMPLOYER.
Ohoh...
Really thanks for your suggestion...
And I know that each category had limit.....the last year limit also reached the cap...so need to wait for next announcement on coming july to apply skilled worked programme..
In the meantime, will take ielts for getting a job....to apply work permit..
May I know how long u wait for skilled workers approved??? From apply to getting the visage..?? Nearly two years?
Thankd a lot.
I think helloruby's case is exceptionally quick. I have a couple of friends who applied to skilled worker program 3 years ago and "did not" get approval till now.
In addition, as helloruby's said, the skilled worker program has largely reduced the quota lately, so the waiting list would be significantly longer than before. Also, the list of skilled worker category will be amended each year. (ie. the kind of skilled on the list this year may not be on the list next year.) I reviewed the list some years ago. I found out that the list was much much shorter than before.
As for going through the work permit channel, please note that not employer are willing to employ someone who are not permanent resident and need work permit to work here. They may not want the trouble to get a work permit for you or they can't wait that long for the work permit to be ready. It really depends on the kind of industry and the nature of job. I have some friends who go through interviews successfully and finally got turn down just because they were not permanent resident. (Of course there are kinds of job that employer will be willing to do so but it really depends.)
So, I think if you are interested in immigrated thought the skilled worker program, I would recommend you to apply as soon as possible. If you go for the work permit channel, I would recommend you/your husband to come over to try to find a job to see if the employer of your particular industry would be willing to help you or wait for you to get the work permit done.
hi cutiemommy,thanks for your advise...and i do agree that it's getting hard to apply thru skilled workers programme now..and so, we also plan to apply work permit....
between, which city are you in???
i plan to immigrate to calgary which still not many pvpl choosing...
thanks for your advise..
That's true. Applications before nov 2008 takes 60 months to process and application after that takes 21 months to process. My husband fall in the category of university professor which is not on the new occupation list anymore. We consider ourselves very lucky.
It takes quite a lot of trouble to get a work permit. As more and more Chinese go to Canada, knowing Chinese language could be an advantage in the health care area. Add oil! Hope you could find a job soon or be the first 500 applicants, whichever come first.
