Minimum work experience required to migrate to Canada as a Farm worker

Generally, we’ll be looking for you to have at least 1 year (1,560 hours total / 30 hours + per week), continuous full-time employment or part time equivalent within the last 10 years although ideally, we’d be looking at you having significantly more depending on your age.

Am I eligible to Migrate to Canada as a Farm worker?

Once you’ve satisfied the occupational and educational requirements to migrate to Canada as a Farm worker then it’s time to look at stage one of your Immigration to Canada Project.

Stage 1 – Migrate to Canada as a Farm worker : Getting Started

We must first construct an Express Entry profile in order to immigrate to Canada legally as a farm worker. Making an express entry profile on its own, however, is useless. Express Entry is when the actual work starts; it’s the beginning, not the finish, of your immigration process.

By meeting the benchmark requirements set out by Canadian Immigration, which also grants us those vital Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, we must develop the finest Express Entry profile we possibly can.

When determining your eligibility to immigrate to Canada as a farm worker, Emigrate Canada doesn’t utilize any expensive, one-size-fits-all computer systems. Every examination is manually examined by a professional with extensive knowledge of Canadian immigration. Check your choices for immigration and eligibility right now for nothing in exchange.

Stage 2 – Migrate to Canada as a Farm worker Express Entry

General farm workers who want to immigrate to Canada to live and work on a permanent basis must first register in the Express Entry pool and wait for an Invitation-to-Apply (ITA) from Immigration and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Once a person has an ITA they can apply for Permanent Residence (PR).

When I Migrate to Canada as a Farm worker on Permanent Residency what does it mean for me and my family?

Canadian Permanent Residents can:

Live and work in Canada
Enter and leave without restriction
Study in Canada
Access Canadian Healthcare
Access social benefits
Apply for Citizenship and Dual Nationality after four years
Enjoy protection under Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

The CIC draws the top candidates from the Express Entry pool and issues them an Invitation To Apply based on how many Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points they have obtained.

A perfect Comprehensive Ranking Score is 1200. An offer of arranged employment in Canada or a provincial nomination certificate is worth an amazing 600 points.

To date all draws to migrate to Canada as a Farm worker have been above 449 CRS Points.

This means our experts at Emigrate Canada and your designated ICCRC Consultants need to work closely with you to maximise your overall CRS score.

Should you score 449 or over on your Express Entry CRS then there is a very good chance you’ll be able to Migrate to Canada as a Farm worker without a Job Offer or Provincial Nomination.

Should you score less than 449 our industry experts at Emigrate Canada will be looking to secure Provincial Nomination for you in the first instance as well as working closely with you to secure a Job Offer in Canada as a Farm worker.

Stage 3 – Migrate to Canada as a Farm worker

With your Express Entry profile live and active it’s time to really make it count. As we’ve already said, just having an Express Entry profile for Canada without any of the key paperwork in place is unlikely to achieve any meaningful success.

What Express Entry paperwork is required to migrate to Canada as a Farm worker?

Firstly, your dedicated ICCRC consultant will work with you to have your education certificates verified via an Educational Credential Assessment. We cannot claim education points on your Express Entry profile without your educational history being formally verified.

Whilst your educational paperwork is being verified we’ll have you sit your internationally recognized English or French test (or both if you’re lucky enough to be bi lingual in these languages!).

In order to successfully immigrate to Canada as a Farm worker we’ll also need to start your application to the Farm worker regulatory body in Canada.

What does this all mean for me, looking to migrate to Canada as a Farm worker?

Canadian Immigration need to be satisfied you’ll be able to work as a Farm worker in Canada and additionally, should we require either a job offer or Provincial Nomination to secure enough CRS Points on Express Entry you’ll need to show at least a letter of provisional approval by the regulatory body in Canada.

Stage 4 – Migrate to Canada as a Farm worker with Provincial Nomination

With your Emigrate Canada designated ICCRC Consultant having now arranged your Express Entry profile, completed and evidenced with your educational credentials and put your language certificate in place we will actively prepare your application for Provincial Nomination.

Move to Canada as a Farm worker with Provincial Nomination

Your CRS score will increase by 600 if you get provincial nomination as part of your Canadian immigration, practically guaranteeing that you will receive an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence. A job offer is necessary in certain provinces, however importantly, others do not (more on that later).

Even though you must reside and work in the nominating province for two years, you will become a Canadian Permanent Resident as soon as you apply for any Canadian Provincial Nominee Program. You will be permitted to live and work anywhere in Canada after those two years.

Your authorized Emigrate Canada ICCRC adviser will submit an application to every applicable Canadian province and state in support of your overall application for permanent residence. It’s crucial to reach this point as soon as is practically feasible in order to take advantage of the Canadian immigration system’s flexibility.

Provincial immigration programs start and shut often, and listings of jobs with demand are revised frequently. When the stars align in our favor, we must be “submission ready.” If we wait until the ideal conditions arise, there is a strong possibility that the opportunity will pass us by by the time an application has gone through all the necessary steps.

Migrate to Canada as a Farm worker with provincial nomination from Ontario

One of the most popular States for General farm workers looking to Immigrate to Canada is Ontario, one of the strongest economies in Canada and a State which is currently offering Provincial Nomination to General farm workers without the need for a formal Job offer.

Stage 5 – Migrate to Canada as a Farm worker: Invitation to Apply

Getting your invitation to apply through the Express Entry program is the last step in your immigration to Canada. You will be sent an invitation based on your Express Entry Case, which must have been strong enough to have resulted in either direct federal selection, selection via provincial nomination as indicated above, or selection as a result of your acceptance of a formal job offer in Canada.

Regardless matter how you got to this point, it’s a tremendous accomplishment, and your committed Emigrate Canada ICCRC Consultant will have put in a lot of effort to get you and your family to this point. All of our efforts have really paid off at this point, but there is still more to be done.

Even though you may be comfortable that the road has been well traveled and that we have moved hundreds of candidates to Canada over the years, we still need to overcome the red tape and bureaucracy that are inherent in every government immigration procedure. Before your permanent residency visas are officially awarded, you must successfully complete background checks and medical exams. After then, it’s time to party!
