Do you already have a job or are planning to apply for jobs in UK?
I don't have a job but I keep on applying. I'm waiting for the Conservatives to release details of the new points-based immigration system this month as it'll give me more clarity on what to expect in 2021. My other option is to do another Master's degree starting Sep 2020 and take advantage of the 2-year post-study work visa.
Yeah the touted points based system (as there also in Canada). Do you know anything as to what it could look like? WIll it be more/less or equally difficult as it is currently? The only thing I have heard is that PBS also requires job offer to be even eligible so the entry barrier is not as easy as the one in Canada (or anywhere else which has PBS). More if job offer is required even to be eligible for PBS then Tier 2 is no different as it is also granted based on job offer. I just don't know if PBS is introduced and with a job offer people do enter with that system in place then will those employees will be also tied to employer like on Tier 2 or are they directly granted ILR or something else. Incase you have any info it would be much appreciated.
One more question, any specific reason you are looking to move away from canada to UK considering canada is already very popular among perspective migrants?
