Mamachka, we were lucky that my husband could fit in the NOC-0213, so we are now in the process of the Federal Skilled Worker visa since sept. 15. It will take about 9 months to go through this process. At least, that is what Canada's saying at this moment.
But due to the economic crisis, it will not be easy. My husbans is working as a global IT Director for a multinational, and it seems that there are almost (none?) similar jobs for the moment... So we really really hope that thing will become much better in the next months. And meanwhile, we hope that he can keep his current job because they gonna fire 1/6 of their personnel in the next half year.

There are so many positions NOT there I would think are of major importance...or what I would think are considered to be "skilled workers".

I understand special needs kids are often in with a typically developing population...but in the situation of a Deaf child for example in a regular class...they would need an interpreter. I am sure the Teacher is not conducting the class in sign langueage for that one child.

I am seeing no call for Sign Language Interpreters... wow..I know after 9/11, There are more emergency situations worldwide using Interpreters! Even in court / hospitals / not just school settings.

Furthermore it appears there is no need for Interpreters of any kind... again which I would think even the government would need, for foreign language interpreters, not sign language.

EVHB my husbands firm is also multinational...also cutting personnel. I strongly believe that although his position calls for years of experience they hired the intern in the BC location for that position (where they weren't cutting personnel), to save on budget...for salary as well as avoiding the relocation costs!

My belief "cheap is dear" and will cost in the long run if that employee cannot carry the weight!
