Like one of the yahooer's said, you need to find out if you qualify for the CIC point system for skilled worker.... if not, the quickest way to enter Canada is if your g/f is already a landed immigrant or a Canadian citzen-you two get married and as long as she's working full time she can sponsor you right away which will take 6 to 18 months for it to get process, normally just bet 6 to 9 months if all necessary documents are sent with the application forms. Either that or get a visitor's visa and go there for 6 months and find an employer that will be willing to sponsor you. All the best..... and check the CIC website.
