How to Immigrate to Canada as a Jewellery and Watch Repairer
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
Use the CRS tool to estimate your score.
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.
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.
Skills Assessment to Immigrate to Canada as a Jewellery and Watch Repairer
The process of getting your jewellery and watch repairing skills, experience and qualifications verified is called Skills Assessment and it serves two purposes.
Canada Jewellery and Watch Repairer 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 Jewellery and Watch Repairer Skills Assessment purpose two: Your positive skills assessment will also double as your Red Seal qualification so having your jewellery and watch repairing skills assessed means that you’ll be qualified to work as a jewellery and watch repairer in Canada from day one.
Can I immigrate to Canada as a jewellery and watch repairer 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 Trades Visa.
Technically there is no minimum CRS score required to submit a Jewellery and Watch Repairer 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.
Occupations on the Canada NOC list can be classed as being ‘in demand’ and the jewellery and watch repairers code 6344 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. Jewellery and Watch Repairer jobs in Canada are often better paid than in the UK, Europe and Asia and Canadian employment law respects the work-life balance.
