Making an application

This program requires that you either work in Canada for two years at a skilled position or your complete post-secondary studies and work for one year in Canada.

If you qualify under this program, you will have to complete one of the requirements before applying with an immigration consultant Canada.

The Provincial Nominee Program and the Quebec Experience Class are two other routes you could explore if you do not qualify for either of the alternatives.
