Shouldn't be too much of a problem mate, not sure how it works with places like Canada

From what i've heard though you won't regret it, admire people for getting out of this place, it's a massive step to take but must be awesome!

Hi,
Its not to hard to move here you can either meet the criteria on the points system with education or as a person who is interested in buying a business.

I am sunny's cousin who moved from london to vancouver over 3 years ago. Anbody need real estate let me know, plenty of money to be made out here.

Funnily enough I was just chatting to one of the canadian engineers at work about this very thing this morning!!! (Shh, don't tell the missus ).

He reckon'd its dead easy, he did it (he's Jamaican), apparently it's dead easy if your a "professional", don't have to have a confirmed job etc before you go, he did it with his degree and the fact he's a licensed engineer. Was saying just goto the CIC site that Westy mentioned

He went just after 9/11 and there weren't many jobs in the industry, so he went over and just chilled out for just under a year till he got a job...

My brother has. Lives on some Ski Resort in French Canada.

No idea what he did or how.

Hope this helps.

I applied for Canadian Citizen Ship two years ago as my granddad was born there in 1905, a year later I got a letter with my citizen ship card and passport application. Never been there but must visit home one day
