Good question. I am in the same position as you.
I went to University but left after two years due to financial restraints. I have worked my way up through the customer services /admin world, and want to know how easy it will be for me to get a job and then secure permanent residence.....any replies would be appreciated!

May i suggest you first try to get a 6 month working visa , look on provincial web sites for openings , check out the procedure to apply on the government web site . Having work references actually in Canada can speed up the proccess of entry visa , then you will be classified a landed immigrant , should you have friends in Canada who are prepared to sponsor you , it also helps . A sponsor has to agree to be responsible for you and your behaviour for up to 10 years , unless it has changed in the past few years . Good luck . Colin
