Immigration to Canada for High Performing Immigrants
Believe me, the first step has nothing to do with knowing what forms to fill or what papers to submit. It has to do with you and your decision.
There are a few questions I think you should ask to yourself right away. I advice you to use your best judgment and be honest. You are not fooling anyone but yourself.

A reader from Spain passed me the link to this information. From the Choose Manitoba web site, it reads:
Southern Europe Recruitment Mission
Representatives of the Manitoba government’s immigration program (the MPNP) will be in southern European in June to interview skilled workers for temporary and long-term employment opportunities in Canada.
MPNP officials and Manitoba employers will be in Spain, Italy and Greece in early June to interview nationals of those countries for pre-arranged jobs in industry, business, service, trades and other skilled occupations. (Portuguese passport holders also eligible.)
Pay attention to this To attend one of these events and be interviewed you must first e-mail the MPNP. Only pre-selected candidates may attend events .
According to the bulletin, they will be looking for Temporary Employment and Permanent Immigration candidates. These are the pre-requisites:
To be considered you must:
This is important! > E-mail your expression of interest to mpnpexploratoryvisit@gov.mb.ca, Subject line: Southern Europe Recruitment Mission (country). Attach your resumé, IELTS document and copy of your passport from the country specified (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece). Include your Skype address.
Be wise, pay attention and follow the exact directives you are given to be taken seriously!
Deadline: May 20.
Expressions of interest will be screened by the MPNP and public services in each country based on the qualification requirements of employer job descriptions.
Candidates selected after an employment interview must then apply for a Canadian work permit.
The MPNP is conducting the Southern Europe Recruitment Mission with the co-operation of Manitoba employers and the Greek, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese cultural communities in the Canadian province of Manitoba.
Qualified candidates may also state in their e-mail to the MPNP their interest in immigrating to Manitoba as Canadian permanent residents. The MPNP may extend an Invitation to such candidates to apply to immigrate subject to established program criteria.
Important notice: Neither being interviewed for employment opportunities nor receiving an invitation to apply to the MPNP as part of the Southern Europe Recruitment Mission guarantee employment in Manitoba.
My advice on what you can do with this…
Please share it with others that can benefit. Send this post by email, facebook or twitter so others can use it.
Good luck! And let me know how it went…

As you may already know, there is a list of eligible occupations that Canada determined as the ones to have in the new Federal Skilled Worker program.
Each one of these 24 occupations has a “NOC Code”, which is a number that identifies it in a big list Canada has to describe all the occupations in this country. Each code has an entry in the database where you will find a description (what is the person doing that job suppose to do and know), the names of the jobs related to the occupation and some other information.
If you want to immigrate to Canada through the Federal Skilled Worker Program, then you need to have at least one year of experience in this list of eligible occupations. You will have to demonstrate you have the skills and experience required according to what the NOC describes. That is how the Immigration official that takes your case will determine if you are eligible or not.
Today I will bring you that list and the links you need to learn all the details about it. That way, you will really know how they classify your occupation in Canada.

If you are still confused about the changes to the Federal Skilled Worker Program announced last week, hopefully this diagram will help you clarify…
Remember, if you have questions always ask a certified professional!

In a News Release published today April 18, 2013, Citizenship and Immigration Canada announced the list of priority occupations and the list of organizations designated to conduct Educational Credential Assessments for the Federal Skilled Worker Program.
I will copy the information from the news release and the backgrounder and give you my insights on them.

If you have some kind of educational credential from your country of origin and you are planning to come to Canada as an student or resident, you will need to make your credentials be recognized.
What this process does is evaluate your credentials and determine what are they equivalent to in Canada.
Some educational institutions require that in order to know if you can be eligible or not for some programs.
It’s also done to know what credits or assignments you need in order to obtain a similar local certificate.
If you have a regulated profession, you will certainly have to do that. If you don’t, just don’t bother and save your time and money.
Most of the time you have to, but in some cases you may find financial assistance for newcomers to Canada. It’s always good to ask your local newcomer centre.
My suggestion is for you to check The Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials (CICIC) website
Thank you Mr. G!

I’m sure that, like me, most of my fellow bloggers in this “Coming to Canada” niche receive every day one or two emails (most of the times in a terrible English), asking how we can help this people come to Canada NOW!
For some reason I still don’t understand they seek for a fast, easy, cheap (free, if possible) way to immigrate to Canada.
Let me tell you my friend: there’ s none. I’m sorry.
In a nutshell, there are two ways you can use to find out how to come to Canada: on your own or with an Immigration Consultant.
For the first path, my recommendation is going to the official source of information: Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Their website is http://cic.gc.ca
This webiste has a tool named “Come to Canada” You just enter the information and follow the guide. At the end, it will let you know what do you have to do and how. If that information is not enough, you can always use our “How to go to Canada” guide.
Remember: there are more than 60 programs in Canada. You have to go through them all, read them carefully and verify which one you can really use for a successfull immigration. It can be hard work, but is not impossible.
You can always use an Immigration Consultant, but first remember to give it a thought: do you really need to hire a Regulated Immigration Consultant? Professionals are not cheap, although a good RCIC (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant) can end up being a good investment. Some of them can cost up to CAD 150 an hour but, on the other hand, they can give you a good evaluation of your profile and what would be your best way to come to Canada.
Remember, not anyone can give you advice and represent you to come to Canada!
Beside finding out what immigration program is the best for you and your family, you may also have to:
Sorry buddy. Give up the dream and stop sending “work for food” emails. They do not work. You have to be here to get a job or be lucky enough to know which company is recruiting AND is not a scam. Almost never happens.
I’m honest here: there are hundreds of recruiting companies out there claiming they can bring foreign workers to Canada. I was never able to get in touch with any of them. I don;t know how they work, where they recruit, how do they contact workers… nothing! They are a complete mystery!
Worst of all: it’s full of scams out there. Full of strange people trying to steal your money and taking advantage of your desperation. Be careful!
I guess you could tell me…
I could be a romantic, sound like Oprah and tell you: “Never give up your dreams!” or I could be blunt and candid and tell you: “May be you should”.
Sorry!
