Employment would be the main one, same as anyone else without canadian qualifications and canadian contacts to call upon. Being British doesnt really create any additional problems, other than expectations of cheap booze and decent cheese and a set idea about what counts as culture and fashion.


Sorry, Canadain grandfather is of no benefit. Start with the wiki articles for an overview of immigration options, lifestyle differences yadda yadda yadda...

So with a British passport there'd by no difficulties whatsoever? Unlike if I wanted to move to the States..?

Absolutely no difficulties in visiting. (Assuming you don't have a criminal record.)

Absolutely no chance of coming to live permanently unless you go through the immigration process. READ THE WIKI or www.cic.gc.ca to inform yourself.

Confused why you would think being British would be a problem immigrating to Canada? It certainly isn't a plus either.

As for the US, different country, different immigration laws. Nearly the same but not quite.
