Another New Person
Hey everyone, my names Keelan im a 19 year old lad living in Blackpool and i hate it. Ha.
I been thinking about leaving England altogether since i was 13. I just really dislike it here, i find there isnt anything for me here.
Anyways enough of my moaning. Im going to Canada in August for a month's holiday but also to check it out and see if its for me. Im going to stay with my nan's sister who has been living out there since she was in her 20's. She lives on out skirts of Ottawa. In papers last couple months they been on about Brits moving over the water to Canada and how they are trying to ge tmore Brits there.
Im hoping i will like it every person me or my family knows who have moved out there have never come back in a round about way ha.
So im just wondering what is my best bet on getting out there to work etc (as you cannot work whilst your visting). I was looking at the BUNCA thing but its full now for non-students (im no longer a student ive been to college). Is there any other schemes like this?
Im presuming my main downfall will be not having a "trade/living/skill/degrees" etc.
Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

Re: Another New Person
Hello, keelan, and welcome to the BE forum.
Not that I'm aware of.
If you are not qualified for an occupation that is in demand in one or other of Canada's regions, you'll have a tough time getting in. You can get some sense of which skills are in demand if you read the BE Wiki article called Labour Shortages.
I don't know much about it, but you may be able to get into Canada via the Entry-Level and Semi-Skilled Pilot Project, which falls under British Columbia's Provincial Nominee Program. For example, waiters, janitors and dry cleaners are listed. The problem with those jobs is that they pay poorly, and it's no fun being poor in Canada.
I also suggest that you read the Wiki article called Quick Guide to Canadian Immigration.
Also read the article called Scouting Trip. What I'm suggesting is that you treat your visit to your great aunt as an opportunity to research real life in Canada -- how much food in supermarkets costs, what jobs are advertised in the newspapers, stuff like that. It sounds as if you intend to do that anyway, but that article may give you some ideas that you haven't thought of on your own.
Hope that helps.
