How to Immigrate to Canada as a Water Well Driller
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 skilled trades assessments.
The process of getting your water well drilling skills, experience and qualifications verified is called Skills Assessment and it serves two purposes.
Canada Water Well Driller Skills 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.
Canada Water Well Driller Skills Assessment purpose two: Your positive skills assessment will also double as your Red Seal qualification so having your water well drilling skills assessed means that you’ll be qualified to work as a water well driller in Canada from day one.
Occupations on the Canada NOC list can be classed as being ‘in demand’ and the water well drillers code 7373 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. Water Well Driller jobs in Canada are often better paid than in the UK, Europe and Asia and Canadian employment law respects the work-life balance.
