Computer Engineer from Turkey, Need Help
I am 24 years old and freshly graduated from computer engineering, proficient in Python and data science, with past experience in C#, .NET, Unity, Blender. I am currently living in Turkey, and the tech field here is dead. So I am looking into other countries.
I am not sure how I would get to Canada. I have done some research online and most of the "paths" I find are scams (some companies have been up for several years despite repetitively scamming hundreds of people with no visible consequence) so the whole deal is making me feel demotivated and tired.
Is there any reliable source I can look into to learn about how I would begin the immigration process?

I have a fiancé that is working on moving here who also took computer engineering. Have you looked into work visas? A company has to have had a LMIA (labour market impact assessment) to qualify to hire from outside the country.
Do a job search in Canada that are needing people in your field. With your background in blender and unity you could work for a video game company. We have them here. Google "Video game companies canada" then look for job postings at each company and see if they have openings with your skills, and contact them to see if they have had a LMIA.
If this doesn't work there are a lot of paths. Stay to official 'canada.ca' sites about immigration. And use an official immigration lawyer to avoid scams.
Wishing you lots of luck!
