Subject: get a job or wait 42 months as skilled worker
  Hi my family and i want to move to Canada, we meet the point requirement to apply from england as skilled worker however the process can take up to 42 months. Could i speed up process by getting a work permit and job now and moving temporarily? Would i have to go home in between? Also should i still apply in skilled worker status now or will i lose money and need to reapply after permit ends if i take temporary residence? My brother in law is a citizen and my sister will be in less than a year, does this help my case?
thanks Chris

have you looked at the new rules. They are suggesting you will have an answer within a year. family connections will give you a few extra points but will not affect the waits.

Hi thanks for responding. I see that on canada website but on london embassy it states 42 months. Could this just be outdated webpage or were old rules different. Is it different based on your local embassy.

?gnore the old time lines. Go on to the cic.gc.ca website to determine if you qualify under the new rules. They are saying you will get a yes or no answer within the year of applying. However, the list of eligible occupations has been significantly reduced.

Getting a work permit may be a struggle at the moment unless you have highly sought after skills. our economy is in the tank like everyone else and layoffs are abundant.
