British cop wanting a move to canada
I hold Canadian Citzenship and thinking of making the move to Canada. My husband will have to apply. I am currently a Detective with 10yrs in the cops in the UK and have researched the Canadian recruitment process. Not that keen on having to start all over again so keen to hear from cops that have made the move or ones that have taken a different career path. Any help would be appreciated. |

There was a very recent thread from a current UK police officer asking a similar question that may be useful:

My husband was a cop in the SE of England and he too didnt fancy starting again. Hes now a sheriff and whilst the requirements are less taxing, the money is better :-)

I'm currently a police officer in the UK and I'm looking into the idea of moving to Canada with the eventual goal of rejoining the police service over there Thanks! |

If you don't mind me asking, where is he a sheriff?

You can get a hint by looking under Howefamily's name :) Do feel free to post a thread in the Immigration forum if you need any advice on applying for Permanent Residency ... or in the Canada forum if you've any questions non-immigration related! They are in Nova Scotia :) |

Re: British cop wanting a move to canada
You might be better off working for a large corporate company in their 'investigations' unit. For example, ICBC and BCLC (both in BC) have large departments dedicated to investigating fraud. I work for BCLC and it is predominately staffed by ex coppers in their 50's.
Money is good, and far less stress than working 'general duty' for the RCMP. But if you really want to get back to Policing, I would suggest a non RCMP force. West Vancouver Police would be the crème de la crème being in a very low crime area. |

Re: British cop wanting a move to canada
I’ve had a look at the Sheriff role but wanted to try and stay within the investigation side really. Does that role get involved with that sort of thing?
Thanks for the reply, Lyns |
Re: British cop wanting a move to canada
Great, thanks for the reply and will definitely have a look into these companies.

Re: British cop wanting a move to canada
Do note that the RCMP and many other police forces require their members to be Canadian citizens or PRs of around 10 year standing.
