if u dont have background or security/criminal problems then u dont need a lawyer.
if u wanna pay some consultant just to fill up and mail your forms, u can hire them if u got spare money.

a lawyer/consultant cannot help you if u dont meet the passing marks, selection criteria. if u qualify, i suggest u to do it by yourself.

rest is upto you, your decision to make.

There is a large demand for IT workers in Canada. If you can get a job offer in Canada, your immigration application for Permanent Residency in Canada will receive priority processing.

There's a great job search tool on this Canadian immigrationwebsite. I just did a search for 'information technology' and it returned 6,239 current job openings in Canada! You can narrow your search by city and province.

Good luck.

For receiving priority, your job offer has to be approved by govt agency which is Service Canada (Human Resources and Skills Development Canada).
You have to receive their positive AEO (arranged employment opinion) in order to receive priority and additional points for qualifying for immigration.

details are on:

what is the implication if you are married, but separated from you spouse?

Also what if you are an overstayer in the UK??

Could anyone tell me how this affects application?

thank you

I believe the IELTS is valid for one year from date of results for immigration purposes. You would need to take the test again when you get your 90-day letter (if going through the skilled worker route), or as soon as you get a job offer if going through the arranged employment route.

If you are separated you need to make it a legal separation through a solicitor and provide relevant legal paperwork when requested (90-day letter).

If you are an overstayer in the UK I think it is unlikely you will be eligible for immigration to Canada unless you can sort this situation out. You need to consult a good immigration lawyer. I say 'good', because someone could give you false hopes, knowing they will get their fee and you probably won't get your visa. Recommendations and referrals are best.

Alternatively you can email the client services department and ask this as a general question. Details on how to do this are on this link:

Firstly, if you have not already done so, you should read this:
http://www.canada.org.uk/visa-info/immig/e_LMO_AEO.htm

Visit www.google.ca and search for IT jobs in the areas you are interested in, on the Canada pages. Other websites will come up.

Most people find it difficult to secure employment by just sending out CVs from abroad. If you can get over to Canada and 'do the rounds' you may be lucky, or at least make contacts to follow up.

However, depending on your skills and the shortages in each particular area, you may strike lucky with the emailing-the-CV/telephone interview route. For example, Alberta is pretty desperate for workers at the moment.

Good luck.

Dear All

My friend has a problem.

. I would highly apprecite your help.

She applied for Skilled worker immigration at CHC Islamabad in 2003.and has recieved there letter recently (July) to provide documents update.

She is in the UK from 2004 (Student). Now She is working on a one year Work permit (SEGS) here in a Research and Development Company from February. She believes she can get her job transfered to Canada (since there are only three sites of this company i.e, Canada US and the UK.)

Her problem is she needs the original education documents to continue with her job and to extend work permit or apply for HSMP for the time until she gets her Canadian Immigration approved (It is general preception that CHC would keep the original documents for very long time)
Can she send CHC Attested copies of the education documents and provide exceptional circumstances reasons.

Seconly she did IELTS in Aug 2005 (got Very Good Score: 9,9,7,6.5)
She reported this to CHC Islamabad in Jan2006. This has expired now. Would her IELTS results be fine?

I will be very greatfull for an expert advise on this as she needs to send the documents within next week.

Thanks
