Applying for PR or work permit questions.

[Likon]

Hello.

I (37 years old) and my wife (32) want to move to Canada from the UK.
We are thinking about either applying for PR or getting a work permit.
We are skilled workers in the IT industry with over 10 years of experience.
We are both British and Polish passport holders.

Can someone advise if:

1. Can I still apply for IEC when I'm over the age limit? Is the age limit very strict or CA Immigration is overall flexible on that?
2. If my wife gets IEC, can I apply for an open work permit under a new scheme of eligibility to work for spouses (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...t/temporary/need-permit/working-family.html)?
3. If she moves inside the current company to Canada, can I apply for an open work permit under a new scheme of eligibility to work for spouses?
4. With the new rules for skilled workers do we still need to have some CSR score when applying for PR? or it's now a bit easier to get PR?


Would appreciate any insight on that.

Thank you!

Here are my thoughts:

• IEC is like a work holiday visa for young people. This one will not work.
• I would look at Express Entry: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
• I would also check out PNP programs: Here is a good place to start: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...migrate-canada/provincial-nominees/works.html
• If you are in IT, look for a job offer with a multinational or a company with 20 or more employees.

P.S. I would not pay anyone to do this research for me. Do this part on your own.

Hi Likon it is CRS score not CSR score. Also as you have 10 years of working experience in IT steam, I think you would create a good CRS score. Also as you are working in UK for a long time, I think you would be pretty good at English as well.
We have done some research for tech workers who are looking for Canadian PR through the Enhanced PNP: https://www.pa-ic.com/uncategorized/apply_to_canada_Immigration_as_a_tech_worker
