How much education is required to be qualified for Immigration to Canada?
Comments(2) | Under: Education Topic
This is in relation to another question I asked.
Under the categories, Provincial Nominee, Skilled Worker, and the new Canadian Experience Class, what is the least amount of education required for Immigration to Canada?
Some people keep saying you need to have at least a 4 year degree or a baccalaureate etc to be qualified, yet the Canada Immigration website says you can qualify with less (2 year diploma, etc). So I’m just curious what should I believe and does anyone else have an idea of what the least amount of education is required?

You can actually qualify with no diploma under provincial nominee. Alberta and BC have semi-skilled options under their PNP’s so if you have experience as a bell hop, hotel room cleaner, kitchen helper, fast food worker and some others, you are in. You would only need a job offer from said province doing one of the jobs listed and apply for temporary work permit. Once you are working, you can apply to the PNP with the help of your employer and get permanent residency.
For skilled worker, you apply under a points system. You can get points for education, work experience, language skills, age and other things. You are ok to have fewer points in the education category if you have a lot of points in the other ones.
For Canadian experience, you can get it if you are considered a skilled worker. They have a code number for jobs, you can go to http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC-CNP/app/index.aspx and enter your job title and you’ll get some matching job titles back with 4 digit numbers. The 2nd number tells you the skill level of the job. If the 2nd letter is 0, 1 or 2, it’s a skilled job. If it’s 4 or 6, it’s a low skilled.
You can also be a skilled worker without having any university, that is if you are a tradesman.

For skilled worker you generally do need to have either done an apprenticeship – or a university degree.
There is the low skilled pilot project where you dont need anything except a high school degree.
