Application for Skilled worker Visa or Sponsorship?

Post by Pandevix » Wed Jan 30, 2013 1:08 am

Guys i need some help as i'm confused.

What is different between Skilled worker Visa and Sponsorship?

Should i apply for Skilled worker Visa or should i look for Sponsorship first?

What happens if i get Skilled worker Visa but don't have Sponsorship?

If i found Sponsorship should i apply for Visa ?

Please advice

Thank you
Regards

At the moment the Federal Skilled Program is on hold.

Sponsorship is when you find an employer willing to support your application. Here in Canada, employers must first obtain a Labour Market Opinion (LMO) in order to hire a foreign worker. Once it has been obtained, then you (applicant) can apply for a Temporary Work Permit (TWP).

Please mind depending on the position you have been offered, you might obtain any of these visas (permits):

1- Unskilled ( no rights to bring your spouse and children)
2- Semi-Skilled ( same as above)
3- Skilled ( can bring spouse and children, and they all will be granted open work permits/study)
Life is short, so let's get moving!
