ABOUT THE Employer Sponsorship Program
The Recognition of Prior Learning and Employer Sponsorship Program (RPL-ESP) is a comprehensive immigration, recruitment and training program that facilitates individuals who wish to relocate to Australia, Canada, or New Zealand with the help of an employer-based Work Permit (WP) and Permanent Resident (PR) visa. The RPL program offers unlimited international English lessons from UK trainers and skilled trade, or skilled license training for certification from certified Canadian Trainers. Additionally, it includes three (3) free employer sponsorships or LMIAs for job opportunities, paid by the employers. One of the sponsorships is to apply for a work permit, the second is to promote or extend a visa, and the third is to apply for permanent residency. This program provides a new start for you and your family, where your spouse can work and contribute to your income. Education is free for all children, and the government covers medical expenses for the entire family.
THE BASIC ELIGIBILITY
AGE: The maximum age limit is 50.
Experience:
To be eligible for Skilled Occupations, you must have at least five (5) years of experience, with at least two (2) years of active work within the last five years and be currently employed. Additionally, all five (5) years of experience should be directly related to the job for which you are applying for a visa.
For Semi-skilled Occupations, you need at least two (2) years of work experience, with two (2) of those years being within the last five years. Like Skilled Occupations, all two (2) years of experience should be relevant to the occupation for which you are applying for a visa and you must be currently employed.
It's important to note that being unemployed or having irrelevant work experience won't support your visa application(s), especially within the last five years.
English Requirement
To obtain a work permit (WP):
When applying for a Work Permit (WP) in Canada or New Zealand, having a specific English score like IELTS or CELPIP is not required. However, you must meet an English requirement by providing an equivalent English exam score or be able to demonstrate adequate English knowledge through your school, college studies or current experience as a letter and our English Teacher will certify the letter. In this program, everyone is required to undergo English training with us and prepare to take the exam later.
For an Australian Work Permit (WP), you must take a standardized English exam such as IELTS and obtain a minimum score of 5 or achieve a PTE score of 36. Alternatively, you may be exempt from taking an English test if you have completed five (5) years of continuous education in an English medium and possess a mandatory skills assessment or a skilled trade license (Certificate 3 or TRA) relevant to the occupation you are applying for.
To obtain Permanent Residency (PR):
When you apply for permanent residency through the PR program after arriving on a work permit, the English language requirements are generally lower than those for direct PR. In Canada, you will typically need a minimum score of CLB 5 for speaking and listening and a minimum of CLB 4 for writing and reading for the federal program (FSTP). However, for provincial (PNP) and Canadian (CEC) programs, you will need a minimum score of CLB 5 in all language sections.
In Australia, you must have a minimum IELTS score of 6 or a PTE score of 50 in each skill, while in New Zealand, you need an overall IELTS score of 6.5.
To be considered for a Skilled Trade position, you must possess a formal certification in a Skilled Trade, a technical diploma, or a technical degree. Alternatively, you can have a high school education and Skilled Trade RPL certifications, which can be obtained by presenting proof of relevant trade experience in any country recognized by the exam authority.
Holding a formal high school education certificate or equivalent is preferable to be eligible for a semi-skilled trade job.
SKILLED TRADE CERTIFICATION
It is highly recommended that you convert your prior learning (RPL) program experience into a Skilled Trade Certification such as the Australian Certificate III, Canadian Red Seal exam, or Qualification of Certificate, also known as a trade license. Both stages of Certificate III are mandatory for WP and PR applications for visas to Australia. Passing Stage 1 of the Skilled Trade Certification (Red Seal) for Canadian visas increases your chances of getting a work permit. Passing the exam at Stage 2 to gain a higher CRS score or to be invited to apply for PR is advisable.
