Re: Winnipeg - Any Tips?

I've been told Corydon is nice but it's too far to walk to and the public transport around here is confusing at best. I'm going to give Osbourne Village a look. Apparently it was voted 'Canada's Best...

Re: Winnipeg - Any Tips?

I walked around there yesterday and, I'll be honest, it didn't really remind me of my visit to Chicago. I could do with a decent feed though so maybe I'll head down there for a bite to eat. Thanks...

Re: DONOT use the legal immigration service <name removed>

The $1,000 CAD referred to (based on my experience with the same firm) covers only the first 2x instalments of the process.

Re: DONOT use the legal immigration service <name removed>

Now that the name has been removed I feel that I can fully endorse this poster's experience.

Lincoln Uni in the UK. Criminology. I've confirmed (at least by e-mail) that they recognise my qualifications as meeting the GPA requirements.

But would it get you a working visa off the back of the 14-16 months of study?

Nanaimo - Vancouver Island Uni

Has anyone got any opinions on Vancouver Island Uni?

I've seen an MBA I could possibly get on at this place in 2014 which, on the face of it, could be really useful route into Canada.

I’d kind of hoped they weren’t the full on self-promoters that are all too common in the UK (especially in finance and...
