You won't need a job offer if you use the Canadian Express Entry route; instead, you'll fill out an expression of interest in a province, and if they like you, they'll give you a provincial nomination. You can become a permanent resident in as little as 6 months if you go this method. However, competition is stiff, and each month, only a limited number of talented foreign workers are invited to apply for permanent residency. This would be the first best option if you meet the program's prerequisites.

If you get a job offer from an engineering firm in Canada, you can apply for your provincial nomination directly to the provincial government where you will be working. This option will necessitate a bit more effort on your part, but you could arrive in Canada with a job and have the permanent residency process in underway in even less time.

Applicants will have to get their mechanical engineering skills and their experience and qualifications assessed by the relevant assessment body which will serve two purposes. First and foremost, a positive skills evaluation will assist you in claiming the required points on both the Express Entry CRS and the Federal Skilled Trades application. Second, your positive skills evaluation will also serve as your Canada Equivalent Qualification, which will be used for your professional registrations.
