We found the same thing at the Edinburgh show that the OZ and NZ presentations seemed to be a lot busier.

Maybe CIC noticed it, too, and is going to work through existing applications quicker to make sure they don't put others off.

Did anyone see an agency called PeopleMovers Global ? I spotted a few jobs that may be suitable on the emigrate website but can't make out if they are an employment agency or an immigration consultancy (or a mix of both as they seem to charge fees).
We went to expo 2 years ago there was a lot there, we went to Sandown today and like others have said there were many more at the oz stands, found it quite useful and made a few contacts also talked to removals etc,
we will go in June as well to Olimpia, hope your feeling better

also promoted BE to a few so hope to see some more newbies on here soon

We went (after getting some complementary tickets at the reception at Canada House on Thursday), and thought it was pretty good. However, as we applied for PR two years ago (and still waiting), we knew most of what they told us.
Also, I still find it strange how everybody (including the staff at Canada House) keep telling us how desperate they are in Canada to find skilled workers) it still takes forever, even if you try and go the PNP route.
We went on Saturday and it was packed. We are just waiting to sell our house and we'll be on our way. Went there to speak to a few removal companies and get some financial advice regarding our money transfer. Also we met our consultant again and spoke to him about rental accomodation and other things regarding our move.
The kids were happy because they got lots of freebies and sweeties and we got back very excited planning our move.

It's a shame that the CHC didn't have a stand there this time.

We have been a been to a couple now and this time it was fun meeting 'celebs' like Louise Green and Mike Cole. Chatting to people like them makes you realise your own enthusiasm for the emigration project.
