Kindly put me through on the necessary documents and process a welder would need or undergo for Canada express entry. Or whichever path/options available. Thanks

I am not sure Canada would accept Trade Certificate directly from Nigeria.. Have you done ECA on your certificate?

It's important to know that you will need a provincial trade certificate/license to practice as a welder in any Canadian province you choose to migrate to. That said, your best bet would be to migrate to Canada via the Express Entry. Then, when you land in Canada, you can walk your way towards licensure. Also, keep in mind that if you have at least 6 months experience within the last 3 years, and provided you meet other Express entry criteria, you could be eligible for the Category-Based draw under the Trade Category in Express Entry.

Good that you have evaluated your BSC certificate... You need to write IELTS and max out your score, and get a good CRS Score... After that, get into the pool. In your work experience, make sure you fill the NOC Code 72106 which is for Welders and related machine operators, as the primary occupation which you have a job experience in. Once IRCC conducts their next trade category draw, and your score meets their selected CRS range, you will be selected. Make sure you gather your documents including your work experience reference (as a welder) from your employer. You will need to submit that and other documents after you receive Invitation to Apply (ITA) from IRCC.
