No doubt you will have read online that having a job offer to move to Canada is a prerequisite to accessing the Express Entry process but as an Electronics Engineer, you also have other options to secure your Canada Visa from the start.

For starters, Electronics Engineers are eligible to apply to immigrate to Canada under the Canadian Government’s Immigration program due to the demand for Electronics Engineers in Canada being so great they have included the occupation on the targeted occupations list, known as the NOC list (National Occupation Code List).

This is great news for qualified Electronics Engineers the world over hoping to live and work in Canada.

Express Entry for Canada is not a visa class at all, it is simply the method (or database) that Canadian Immigration uses to select the right candidates for a permanent residency visa and in that case, as an Electronics Engineer looking to immigrate to Canada we’ll be looking at the Federal Skilled Worker visa and Provincial Nominee program.

How to Immigrate to Canada as an Electronics Engineer

The first stage in your Canadian immigration process is to calculate your Canada Immigration points for Express Entry using the Canadian Comprehensive Ranking System.

 

CRS Points are awarded for (amongst other things)

 

Age

Qualifications

 

English ability

 

French ability

 

Your partner’s skills

 

Work experience

 

As well as providing you with important CRS points these factors also count towards your overall Immigration Points score which must equal or exceed a total of 67

 

Once you receive an ITA (Invitation to apply) from Canadian Immigration as a result of your Express Entry application you’ll only have 60 days in which to lodge a formal application so under no circumstances should you lodge an Express Entry application ‘claiming’ to have certain points without first having all of your points verified through different testing, education equivalence certificates and Professional Qualification assessments.

 

Once you are invited to apply for your Canada Visa you cannot go back and have these things verified retrospectively, they must be done before you claim any points for them and given that your express entry profile is only valid for one year it makes sense to present the best possible case right from the start.

 

Electronics Engineering Skills and Qualification Equivalence Assessment

The process of getting your Electronics Engineering skills, experience and qualifications verified is called Skills and Qualification Assessment and it serves two purposes.

 

Canadan Electronics Engineering Skills and Qualification Assessment purpose one: With a positive skills assessment you’ll be able to claim the requisite points on both the Express Entry CRS and eventual Federal Skilled Trades application.

Canadan Electronics Engineering Skills and Qualification Assessment purpose two: Your positive skills assessment will also double as your Canada Equivalent Qualification and is used for your relevant professional registrations so having your Electronics Engineering skills assessed means that you’ll be qualified to work as an Electronics Engineer in Canada from day one.

 

How to get registered to Immigrate to Canada as an Electronics Engineer

As part of your immigration process, your dedicated Electronics Engineer Canada account manager will arrange for your Professional Qualification equivalency process so there’s no need to worry about how to move to Canada; we’ll have you covered from the moment you get the ball rolling.

 

Can I immigrate to Canada as an Electronics Engineer without a job offer?

The answer is a resounding yes, providing you have a reasonable total CRS score on your Express Entry application and can meet the 67 immigration point threshold for your Canada Federal Skilled Worker Visa.

 

Technically there is no minimum CRS score required to submit an Electronics Engineer Canada Express Entry profile.

 

Of course, securing a job offer (documented in the right way for immigration purposes i.e. LMT) will give you an instant CRS boost of 600 points so it makes sense to start this process as soon as is practical.

 

Electronics Engineering Jobs in Canada

Occupations on the Canada NOC list can be classed as being ‘in demand’ and the Electronics Engineer code 2133 has been firmly established on the list for many years with lots of opportunities right across the country.

 

As a qualified new and highly skilled Permanent resident of Canada, you may work full time from day one, either as a direct employee, contractor or in a self-employed capacity. Electronics Engineering jobs in Canada are often better paid than in the UK, Europe and Asia and Canadian employment law respects the work-life balance.

 

Additionally, Electronics Engineers in Canada are highly unionised which whilst sounds like a dirty word in many parts of the world is actually instrumental in championing better pay and conditions right across the Country.
