Hi I am a Consultant with 2.5 years work exp in the US. I am waiting for an ITA since Sept 2019 (CRS is 456) so thought of getting a job in Canada since my bf lives there (want to move there asap). Will I be able to get a job from US by cold applying?

If you don’t already have a PR it will be extremely difficult. It will be easier to raise your score by learning French than getting a job with an LMIA (which costs the company $20-$40K to obtain).

The easiest option would be to have your company transfer you to Canada.

It’s rare but possible! You can try to ask your company to transfer you. You can also check if you qualify for any PNPs or through study to immigrate pathways.

I would give your boyfriends address on your application. You tend to get call backs if it’s a local Canadian address
Second, if you have the PR that’s helpful

Do they take it out of my 401k? I know a lot of people will say I never shouldve applied but I didn't think too much about actually get a call back when I applied.
