Immigration Journal

The story of two people who emigrated from the UK to Ontario, Canada July 2006.

Emigrate show and more

This weekend we have had another two viewings, so fingers crossed there.

Yesterday we went to the Emigrate Show at Sandown. We went two years ago when we first applied and were disappointed at how Canada had been crammed into a small section and CHC had a stand right at the back. The queue for CHC cut off many of the other stands anc caused chaos.

This year they seem to have thought it out a bit better with CHC at the front in a separate section with a zig zag queue - much better, although surprised more people weren't in the queue.

There were stand for areas of Canada such as the Atlantic provinces, Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba and BC. But no one I could see from Sask or the other less well known provinces.

Other stands consisted on HSBC, some relocation people and realtors. In the main section of the show there were removal companies, pet carriers, money exchange etc.

We spent a couple of hours there and then left, it was starting to get pretty busy at this time, we went early and glad we had.

All in all a good couple of hours, but a shame not more representation for Canada.
