Hi All,
I have a Masters in Microbiology and I am planning to migrate to Canada. Do I need a job offer or can I apply without a job offer?
What are the procedures for applying Permanent Residence?
Any suggestions please

Let me tell you how it works - based on my experience, can be different now, do your research

There are 2 programs to migrate to Canada as a Permanent Resident under skilled workers. One is Federal (can apply without job offer) and another one is Provincial.

Under Federal program, they have certain criteria (that changes every year) you need to match in order to apply for PR. The basic are

PR points (at my time it was 67). It is multiple sets of questions that ask your education, age, work experience etc. If you score atleast 67 you are eligible for next round. You can google "Canada PR calculator" or here is one for you http://www.canada-da.com/calculator.html
Next go through the eligible occupation list (I have pasted in this page), to check whether your experience/occupation matches with it. Also they change this list every year.
Than you apply with all the documents in the checklist. You need to show documents related to work experience/birth certificates/transcripts/IELTS score etc

Under provincial program, you need to have a job offer.

Eligibility Criteria:

I scored 71. Regarding work experience, i work in a environmental health field and I think it is one of the occupation listed. My question is in this site http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp it is mentioned that if I enroll to a phd school in canada, I can also apply, Is it true?
Which one do you suggest?
