In this program, we provide unlimited international English training, unlimited Skilled Trade Certifications, or a Skilled license/certification using an exchange program means converting your existing certifications. MK Migration will also apply for visa applications, find free jobs from our existing employers for skilled trades and semi-skilled workers and get free employer sponsorship from the employers. Meaning, the employment or recruitment charges are FREE from the employers. If an applicant is successful, they will receive a Skills Trades and Educational Assessment, Skills Trades Certificates or Licenses and English Certificates such as IELTS, PTE or CELPIP. All successful candidates in this program will also gain either a WP and PR or a PR in some cases. Through this skilled pathway, you can bring your whole family to Australia, Canada, or New Zealand to enjoy a new lifestyle with your spouse who can also support you by working. Additionally, education is free for all children and medical costs are covered by the Government, even for those on Work Permits and Permanent Residents.

However, a minimum of 2 years of experience in the last 5 years is mandatory for applying to the specific occupation, the other 3 years have to also be relevant to the specific occupation that is being applied for in terms of the visa. For Example, the applicant currently has 3 years of experience as a welding supervisor, and previously has 5 years of experience as a welder.

Semi-Skilled Occupations need a mandatory 3 years or more of experience minimum. However, a minimum of 2 years of experience in the last 5 years is mandatory for the occupation that is being applied for, the other years of work experience must also be relevant to the occupation that is being applied for in terms of the visa.

English Requirement

For Work Permits (WP):

When applying for a Canadian or New Zealand Work Permit (WP), an English score is not mandatory. However, you must have an IELTS score of 5, or the equivalent to another English exam score or show that your English knowledge is adequate and consistent. In this program, it is mandatory for everyone to start English training and prepare to write the exam when they are able to do so. Please note that every test is different and has a different level of difficulty.

For an Australian Work Permit (WP), you must take a standardized English exam such as IELTS with a minimum score of 5, and a PTE score of 50 or you could be exempted from having to do an English test if you have 5 years of continuous English medium education and a mandatory skills assessment or a skilled license depending on the occupation you are applying for.

For Permanent Resident (PR):

After landing under a WP, the English requirement based on the PR program that is being applied for usually requires a lower IELTS score compared to those applying for direct PR applications and is based on a regular point-based system for professionals.

For Canada, CLB 5 is usually required for speaking and listening, and CLB 4 is usually required for writing and reading, regarding the federal program. However, most of the provincial programs need a CLB 5 in all sections. If you have the score needed and your profession is on the skilled occupation list then PR can be applied for at any time.

Educational Qualification

A minimum formal educational qualification from High School is mandatory for Skilled occupations and more certification related to the trade is highly advisable.

A minimum formal educational qualification from High School is mandatory for Semi-skilled occupations and more certification related to the trade is advantageous.

SKILLED TRADE CERTIFICATION

We strongly recommend converting your experience under the prior learning program to Skilled Trade Certification such as Australian Certificate III, Red Seal exam, or Qualification of Certificate which is called a license for the trades.

For Australia visas, Certificate III both stages are mandatory for WP and PR applications. For Canada visas, Stage 1 of skilled trade certification (Red seal) is mandatory for work permits and passing the exam at Stage 2 is highly advisable to gain a higher CRS score.
