Hi, thanks for sharing. I'm British, 40 years old, and looking at Canada as a settling/permanent option for the future. I have a Masters in visual arts, teaching ESL & IELTS for a few years now, and learning website design on the side (and getting clients over the last year). I understand that I may need to get some more work experience and develop the required skill-set to get accepted. Firstly would I need a job offer before applying? Based on starting from scratch, what strategy would you suggest? I do enjoy website design, which I have been doing myself and not directly for a company. Would I need experience working for a web development company or could I apply if I have the required amount of experience based on more freelance work or having my own online web development business? I think it's a case of having the right profession and experience under my belt at this point. So I'm just trying to get a sense of the timeline I need to focus on towards reaching my goal. Thank you for any advice! 😁👍

You don't necessarily need a job offer to apply for immigration to Canada, but it can significantly increase your chances of being accepted, especially through the Express Entry system. For skilled professionals like software engineers or web developers, Canada’s immigration system evaluates your qualifications, work experience, language skills, and age to determine your eligibility. Since you enjoy website design and have been gaining freelance experience, this can count towards your work experience. However, structured experience with a company might strengthen your profile. You could continue building your portfolio and client base through freelance work while working towards certifications or formal job experience in web development. A suggested strategy would be to: Build Your Skillset: Focus on gaining additional experience in web design or development, whether freelance or with a company, and consider earning certifications. Research In-Demand Jobs: Look into which tech roles are most in demand in Canada to tailor your experience accordingly. Explore Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP): Some provinces have their own immigration programs, where specific tech skills are highly sought after, and you might not need a job offer to apply. Consider Express Entry: You can create a profile in the Express Entry system and see how you rank based on your current qualifications. You can improve your score over time by gaining more experience, especially in the tech field. Focus on building the right skill set and work experience over the next couple of years to strengthen your profile for Canadian immigration.

I always wonder how does Canada welcomes 440,000 immigrants coming from overseas every year despite the housing crisis, lack of adequate jobs, poor health care system with very less number of doctors & health practitioners, weak economy, expensive cost of living triggering people to skip meals and leading them to malnutrition, extravagant taxation and very racist and restrictive policy on hiring professional workers. How come a country in such a dire situation accommodate to welcome nearly half a million immigrants annually ? If you are a highly skilled professional developer never ever pursue your career in Canada unless you are willing to give your 40 % of your wages for tax.

In France we give 30 to 50% of our wage + 20% VAT, being paid 1/2 of Canada but still paying the same rent. And it's not only France. You might be able to list good alternatives however?

[@visalibrary]

@@Guruujkk A work permit is required to work as a web developer in Canada. You can apply for permanent residency via the Federal Skilled Worker Program or get an offer of employment from a Canadian firm via the Global Talent Stream. Each province in Canada has its immigration scheme. Contact an immigration attorney to verify you fulfill all criteria.

Software developers please don't trust the social media about Canada. If you are a good developer with good skills Canada is not a favorable place to work. The country is horrible and worst place to work and grow as a developer don't waste your time and look elsewhere that worth it for your skills. Overwhelming number of developers are leaving the country at this times seeking better places hence, hold your legs and ask WHY ?

[@visalibrary]

Dear Simon, Thank you for sharing. We absolutely respect your opinion. But every person has their own preferences. Maybe working in Canada is a dream job for a certain person. You never know!

[@MainActor]

Interesting, can you tell us why, is this based on your experience as software engineer? Is the overall work culture in Canada not great for software engineers? I’m genuinely curious because I’m planning to move there as well, but having some second thoughts since I’ll be starting my whole life again in essentially in a blank canvas. Thanks

[@simonjunior184]

@@visalibrary Likewise I respect your opinion as well. Despite the fact what's going on right now with foreign workers in Canada. Kindly stop selling dreams for God sake.
