Working Holiday Visa seeking Permanent Residency

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi folks,

Just before my 30th bday i arrived here in Van on my 2 year working holiday visa. Ive been here now for 5 months, and have found a good admin job, and just love it alot here, and am now taking the next step into PR applications. I have reviewed the CIC website at length, and to be honest, am confused which is the best PR path for me to take (eg. BC PNP, skilled experience class etc.).

So because this is important to me, ive decided to have 1 consultation with a immigration lawyer or agent to get the low down, and then do the application myself.

Can anyone please help with recommending a reliable yet economically priced immi consultant/lawyer local in Vancouver?

Thanks in advance.

Dream.

	Richard Kurland is based in Vancouver. Google his info. Secondly, for permanent residence, you must qualify under one of the immigration programs currently run by CIC. Note the Skilled worker program is in process of being overhauled, changed, etc. Not even sure if CIC is taking any applications. Your better chance would be trying under the CEC(Canadian Experience Class), but you would need to qualify for that, the details are on CIC website. I doubt if 5 months of experience is useful at all for you. Admin profession is not in the skill shortage anywhere, you've been lucky to come to Canada under the working holiday. Even the lawyer will do the same assessment which you can do yourself on CIC website, just takes a bit of reading.
