I am interesting to move to Canada ( with out a Job Offer and through the Skilled Worker Visa). My education , Experience , Age , etc.. makes me eligible to apply. I will go through the process alone (without paying any fees to a lawyer/consulting company) since I have good research competences. Yes I am a governmental employee and I get paid well +benefits and stability , but frankly the Canadian Citizenship and relocating in a more " mind peaceful" target is a major plus. In addition , on the new system for Express Entry 6 months most likely receive the ITA (1st Pool of chosen applicants) , you need 60 days to complete the online profile (so a person must be prepared with all Language Tests Scores , Degrees Assessed by WES (World Education Services) ... before hand)

I have thorough research and I came on this step by step procedure written by some one in the forum on Canadavisa.com

Forum Link: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/express-entry-step-by-step-instructions-t273928.0.html

It's all on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp

But...

(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)

1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.

How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp

3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.

5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp

Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.

6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:

a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.

f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.

I will follow this steps, but additional input / discussing from previous immigrants in this forum are very welcomed to discuss. I have some question in mind now:

1- Are High Schools Grades Required to Assessed or only the Lebanese Baccalaureate or the University Degree /transcripts are enough?

2- Is anybody aware of a Province nomination procedure ,a province sending a nomination will add very good points on the profile of the Express Entry.

3- What are the chances of getting a job offer from there (blind CV sending through LinkedIn) and you are in Lebanon without a Canadian PR?

4- What are the best provinces to live at (to secure a balance of finding a job in a relatively good time period living standards including how to deal with people , and living costs?

5- Will finding a job there troublesome upon arrival (will they help when you touch the their land there) , sure I will register in job Bank and apply thorough LinkedIn. The Canadian Government has all the details upon arrival including my experience / academic qualification will they help a person find a job (jobs centers , job posts etc.. )?

6- How much time is need to change the Express Entry Visa to a PR - Permanent Residency after a person touch down , will immediately finding a job there a core requirement for that.

7- The Canadians requires 10,000 USD CAD for singles , will that be enough to rent a home and living expenses until I find job there?

8- Will the PR makes me eligible to travel to the USA without a VISA and to go to Lebanon marry the girl I love and bring her in?

9-Is there a time period in which a person will find a job , and after this period (deadline) he he requested to go back to his home country?

Thank You
