PR Application with Job Offer

[melody]

Hello there!

I understand that Canadian PR applications processed in Malaysia would
take approximately 24-36 months for processing.

Also, in our Skilled Workers PR application we are awarded 10 points if we have "Arranged Employment" (an HRSDC approved).

My question is this:

1) Will employers be willing to give you a job offer and then wait
24-36 months before they know if you'll actually be coming to Canada?

2) Is there something I have misunderstood with regard to the
"10 points Arranged Employment"?

Thanx for all the help!

The skilled worker class immigration takes around 1-3 years depending on how busy the embassy is.
I don't want to discourage you but it is not very easy to find a job remotely. What kind of job are you looking for? What is your profession?

For more information you can go to the CIC web site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.html

Hey there!

I am a Hotel Management graduate, however I have been using the "management" portion of my education for the past 10 years.

I would be grateful if I could find a job as an Administrative Assistant or something along those lines.

Of course I understand that Canadian employers are uncertain about hiring those without "canadian experience" and as such I am even willing to start at a lower level (say Receptionist) and have them check me out.

Thanx Tsveta! I really apperciate you taking the time to reply :o)
Here's to a wonderful weekend and year-end!
