Personal experience

Yuri, Halifax

Refused according to the program Skilled Workers (I'm a civil engineer). I was very upset, but did not give up! I looked at the offers from the provinces - I liked the Opportunity Occupation program in Nova Scotia. Accepted!

PR requires good reason, but it gives the immigrant almost all the rights of a citizen of the country without losing his native passport. The easiest way to emigrate is for specialists whose experience is in demand in the Canadian market, as well as for relatives of citizens.
