I've found this forum really helpful.
I've started to put together everything I need in order to start preparing to move to Canada.

I'm 24 and am going to apply for Edmonton Police. This is something I've always wanted to do. I'm in the process of getting my qualifications translated into Canadian ones so I know what to put on the application forms.

I am doing this alone so if there is anyone out there who is thinking the same as me and are planning to go....contact me. I'd love to chat to others so I don't feel so alone :-(

My family haven't got a clue about what to do (which is understandable)

I look forward to hearing from anyone

Zoe

Hi cant help on the application side but good luck and soon someone will be along to help and you wont be alone be alone in here

Welcome to BE Zoe

Have you seen the working abroad by profession - Police subforum? I think there are a lot of Edmonton applicants past and present in there who can probably help with tips and info

Welcome to BE

You are never alone here
Some nutters and really helpful on all subjects

Good luck with the move and application

Thank you for your help, I will look up the Police forum

Hi Zoe and Welcome to BE.

I for one think you are very courageous and you are taking a good step forward.

You are never alone in BE...very soon you may wish you were though

You've been warned

Thank you for that. Life is far too short to stay and just THINK about doing it, there's no point in that.

Thank you for your warning :-)

Hello,

Yes yr right life is far too short - hence why me and OH are going to apply to live in Canada WE are hoping to go to Calgary next year on a WP and see how we get on, if we like it any more than we do already then we're going for it! Good Luck with what your doing and your never alone

Hi Zoe,
I don't have any advice to offer as our case is totally different (family of 4) but good luck with everything!!!
It must be a little bit scary when you're doing it alone, but this place is great, you'll meet lots of lovely people and receive fantastic advice
Good luck chick!
Monika

Thank you Monika. I'm definitely not worried anymore. I'm realising that more and more people are going. I think it's all very exciting. I've not heard of many people who have come back to the UK.
I'm looking forward to the change
