Skilled Independent Migration
A Skilled Independent Migrant can be defined as an individual that has experience and / or education that are in high demand.There are a range of points based visas available to such individuals that allow them to migrate with the right to work and without requiring that they have a job offer first.
These points based methods of independent migration are increasingly popular and the following provides an overview of the options available for independent skilled migration to a range of countries.
Tier 1 General Highly Skilled Visa
This is the first Tier of the UK Points Based System. The Tier 1 General Highly Skilled Visa commenced in the UK on 29 February 2008. This replaces HSMP, initially for UK-based applications, and works on a very similar basis to HSMP.
The Canadian Skilled Worker Visa is a points based method of immigration to Canada that allows you to work in Canada without first needing to find a job offer. Extra points are awarded if you have a job offer and our online Canada Skilled Worker Visas points calculator will quickly let you know if you can qualify. At the end of this process you should upload your CV or Resume if you would like one of our Consultants to provide a FREE full assessment of your application.
