Did I should immigrate to Ontario as a skilled worker?

That is the question that every qualified worker should arise throughout the immigration process.

We decide to immigrate to Canada for several reasons. However, the mere fact that you qualify for immigration Does that mean it's the right decision? Choose to move with the whole family is a decision that can shake the course of a lifetime. Make sure you make an informed decision. Learn to know exactly what to expect.

Some observations


The course of your immigration application is not a guarantee of your success in Canada. You have to get the note prepared by the selection factors, but this result is only a very general assessment. Do your own research to determine whether you can succeed, given the conditions on the ground.

It is not easy to find work in Canada, although several newcomers succeed. Even the Canadian born there take time to find a good job. There are help finding a job, but nobody can guarantee the results. Did you know, for example, that certain occupations and professions are governed by professional regulatory bodies? These agencies are involved at the provincial level and not at the national level. It is possible that your international qualifications are not recognized in Ontario and you need additional training or exams. Maybe a new certification is not necessarily required to work in your field. You must inform you.

The process of obtaining a license or certificate may be long and painful. You may have to pay a fee for an assessment of your skills, for the issuance of a certificate or to pass the exams. The process can take years. Learn all you can about the details of this process and begin preparing as soon as possible, preferably even before arriving in Ontario.

You also need to determine if you really need to get a license or certification. You must also know that many newcomers have invested time and money to obtain a license or a permit to practice in their field and have not necessarily found a job.

For a successful migration, you must determine what you can expect in your field of work and in the city where you hope to live.
