That is very helpful. I will certainly take a look at there website . I did see them mentioned on the Ontario college of trades website but when I spoke to someone there they said that I had to get a trade equivalency assessment from them ( the Ontario college of trades ) prior to being allowed to apply to take the exam.
I did some further research and it would appear anyway that even if I took the exam and passed I would still only gain around 315 points under the comprehensive points ranking system when the bench mark to an invite is around 450 under the express entry system. Interestingly a certificate of qualification as an elevator mechanic gets you a maximum of 50 points . A degree of any kind ( drama , sociology or even film studies for example ) would get you 100 points. ... A job offer will get you an extra 600 points but having spoken to HR in Canada they have a policy of only offering you employment if you have a visa ...i can only get a visa if I have an offer of employment. Classic catch 22. It's a shame as I have many Canadian friends and love the Toronto area , I really would of liked to raise my kids there at least for a whiles.
As for leaving the Caribbean although I have enjoyed my time here and my kids were born here , after 9 years we are ready for a new experience ...and some cold weather!if anyone reading this feels like they would like to replace me please PM me as I am assisting with my exit strategy including trying to find a suitable replacement .
Thanks for the advice again.
