Can any one give me advice on education for my 16 year old moving to regina in summer 2013 , can he work , does he have to do grade 12 , can he go to college with his gcse grades , thank u

Whether he can work or not will depend on your visa - what are you moving over on?

My husbands 3 year contract I beleive ,

So your husband will be on a Temporary Work Permit? In which case, then no, your son won't be able to work until (if) he gets PR.

HTH.

Don't know about Regina but our son will be 16 when we move to Ontario this summer and he will go into grade 11 in September (although he'd just finished grade 11 here, their grading is different) so he will do grade 11 and 12 in Canada and then graduate. We are not considering him going straight into college at 16 in Canada as we would like him to graduate and also have Canadian qualifications as well as UK GCSEs and more importantly make friends of his own age at school.

Ok thank u , not very good for him if he wants to go to college and earn some cash , might have to think about that one ,

Without Grade 12 or equivalent I doubt he would be accepted into a college or get much of a job. A grade education is the minimum and without it severely limits opportunities.

Thank u bex1 hard decsision do we go or not , yes I think he would have to do grade 12 ,

Thank u aviator , yes I believe so , he just didnt want to go back to school rather learn a trade

Do you plan to apply for PR once there? If so, and if you can apply as soon as you get there, then it will only be for a year or so he'd be unable to work.

I assume that the location is fixed? It's just that there are a few provinces that do allow the school age dependents of TWP holders to work, but unfortunately MB isn't one of them.

What about SK?

That is where Regina is after all.

My husband all ready there , do u have to wait a certain time before applying in regina for pr , christmasoompa

Ooops, sorry, yes meant SK! Was typing two responses at once and clearly too much for my poor little befuddled brain.

Again it depends. What is his job and how long has he been there?

Only since September , on a work permit for 3 years , truck driving , tractor driving lol
