You will need an offer of employment with the employer having successfully applied for a Labour Market Option (LMO) to employ you from overseas, this is usually quite tough to get, especially from out of country.

Ok well the qualifications throw a spanner in the works! do you know when the list refreshes? from what i can see it runs till june2012. Guess one of us will have to look into retraining in another area

Do you know what qualifications you need to emigrate as a cook?

HRSDC site said under employment experience:
Completion of a three-year apprenticeship program for cooks
or
Completion of college or other program in cooking
or
Several years of commercial cooking experience are required.

That said, on January 31, 2012, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) and Statistics Canada replaced the 2006 edition of the National Occupation Classification (NOC) with a 2011 version. For the purposes of the Federal Skilled Worker Program list of eligible occupations, new applicants are advised to refer to the HRSDC website for the latest job descriptions and duties for each NOC.

For applying PR in FSW category, the job should be under either Skills 0, A, or B, irrespective of FSW1 or FSW2.

Skill Levels are defined by NOC (explained below)
Skill 0 - NOC starting with 0
Skill A - NOC starting other than 0 but has 1 as second digit (eg 4156, 6178, etc)
Skill B - NOC starting other than 0 but has 2 as second digit (eg 4256, 6278 etc)

Cook is now NOC 6322.

Detailed Occupational Structure

Thanks thants great!

I am thinking that i could go through the cook occupation as they have a dietary cook listed and as a Manager of a Health Care establishment i am responsible for implenting dietary plans for the residents, the only thing is although i have my Health and Social Care qualification which is infact equiv to a degree not a dipolma, i may still have to do some kind of college course that has nutrition, dieticion elements to it. Do you think that would be a route for us??

First, unless you are doing the cooking, I don't think you would have had a chance simply as an "implementer" of menus.

Bigger than that, what you didn't seem to catch from my previous post, was that the latest HRSDC realignment moves Cook out of the FSW category for PR unless you applied before Feb 1, 2012.

Hi i have checked out the website and some other forums and from what i can see it is still very unclear not just to myself but also to many others, as to whether or not the cook role is included as a fsw job. Have you read that it is no longer in the top 29 NOC list?? as i have seen that it is still showing and the only thing that has changed is the code??

Also some of my duties include preparing and cooking food for the service users aswell as implementing dietary care plans.

Thank you again for your response

Not sure about careers in care but I am currently aware of an opportunity in both Canada and the UK with a 32 year old network marketing company. It may be something you could start in the UK and continue with in Canada.

Hi could you give me some more information please

Thank you

Sure! It's a 32 year old health and wellness company that has all Swiss formulated botanically based products that are vegan and gluten-free. My partner actually launched the UK's division 3 years ago and has a team in Canada that is growing very quickly. If you like I could give you her contact information.
