Alberta and BC have semi-skilled options under their PNP's so if you have experience as a bell hop, hotel room cleaner, kitchen helper, fast food worker and some others, you are in. You would only need a job offer from said province doing one of the jobs listed and apply for temporary work permit. Once you are working, you can apply to the PNP with the help of your employer and get permanent residency. For skilled worker, you apply under a points system. You can get points for education, work experience, language skills, age and other things. You are ok to have fewer points in the education category if you have a lot of points in the other ones. For Canadian experience, you can get it if you are considered a skilled worker. They have a code number for jobs, you can go to and enter your job title and you'll get some matching job titles back with 4 digit numbers. The 2nd number tells you the skill level of the job. If the 2nd letter is 0, 1 or 2, it's a skilled job. If it's 4 or 6, it's a low skilled. You can also be a skilled worker without having any university, that is if you are a tradesman.
