To get to Canada there are two options:

‍

• Temporary: with work and study visa
• Permanent: apply for direct residence.

‍

Here we are going to see how to arrive with permanent residency without being a professional and with work experience in a TEER 4 or 5, the former NOC C or NOC D.

‍

There are two different paths, depending on your location.

‍
