Having in mind that Canada has been ranked one of the best places in the world to live, it is no wonder approximately 250,000 immigrants choose to come in live in Canada every year. When you add up the relatively low cost of living, good health care and education system and well-paying jobs - it sounds like dream country.

If you have decided to move to Canada there are several ways to do it. For example, the business immigration, family class immigration and experience class immigration. However, people who qualify under the skilled worker class criteria will have highest chances to live their dream as Canada plans on accepting 101,000 new skilled worker immigrants in 2010 and Quebec is the province which is getting the largest percentage of them.

How to Migrate in Canada as a Skilled Worker

There have been so many reasons why people are migrating to Canada. Good education, job opportunities and permanent residency are few of them. But we have this doubt in mind on how to start your application. Normally we go to an Immigration representative but shocked of their services fee that would really drain your budget. Actually "representative" or some call it "agencies" would assess if you are qualified, meaning if they think you are qualified then you are really qualified so why do you need them? They won't do anything to process your application faster or influence the Canadian Immigration on your eligibility. All we have to do is to know the requirements, read instructions and submit your application.

Benefits of Migrating to Canada:

o Stay for 1095 Days and get Canadian Passport

o Free Children education

o Free Medical

o Social Security after 6 months

Each year the Canadian government welcomes around 90,000 migrants to its doors. A lot of the migrants are skilled workers and a good amount of them are from the Philippines.

Canada, is a huge country and needs to fill so many jobs that its own people do not want or are simply over-qualified for. Garbage disposal, Oil and gas workers, Truck drivers, Teachers, Care-givers, and the like are highly sought-after in Canada.

Another industry that Canada needs bolstering is the IT industry, from web-designers to programmers there is a scarcity of IT professionals. Taiwanese, Chinese, Koreans and Filipinos are now filling in these positions fast. The IT industry in Canada is fast becoming an Asian dominated sector of the work force.

If you receive a job offer from a Canadian company, your visa application process will be much easier!

I strongly recommend obtaining a job offer from a Canadian company before submitting your visa application. If you can get this document, it will not only help you settle easier in Canada , but it will also increase your Pass Mark assessment.

Let me explain the way a job offer will help you increase your Pass Mark assessment:

You will receive 10 points if:

– You have a permanent job offer in Canada . However, please note that this offer has to be confirmed by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC).

If you are already in Canada (with a temporary work permit), and you decide to apply from within the country, you will also receive points in the following situations:

You will receive 10 points if:

– Your temporary work permit was issued after receiving a confirmation of a job offer from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada ; – Your temporary work permit was exempted from the requirement of a issued after receipt of a confirmation of your job offer from HRSDC (due to an international agreement).

When looking for a job in Canada, one should keep in mind that most Canadian employers look at the job seeker’s resume first. As an applicant, one needs to invoke an interest in the potential employer by crafting a professional resume. Professionally prepared resumes are a direct reflection of the job seeker’s seriousness and commitment towards his or her career.

Certain rules should be kept in mind, regardless of which country one is pursuing job opportunities. For example, even a minor lapse in grammar or a spelling mistake will result in the resume looking unprofessional. These mistakes are an indication of carelessness.

So how does a person generate interest in the employer and blend the unique culture of corporate Canada in their resume?
