Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

I guess though when you have double, triple, quadruple checked the NOC code and people still tell you that they know the job description better than you, that is not helpful. I know visas are complicated as we do actually know people who work within the visa process. When your basically told every reason and way that you will not be allowed into Canada it can become annoying. Like I said we want to leave the UK and we have our own reasons for that people may not understand. We don't enjoy living in a country where you can sit on your bum all your life and not work while working people get heavily taxed to pay for that life. And before I get attacked for that statement the British benefit system is great if you need that help. However it is abused by most of the people who are on it, that actually don't want to work. All I asked for was help not to be bashed It is difficult enough coming on forums like this as you do put yourself out there for people to just knock you down. If people think we will never get to leave UK or enter Canda that's their opinion and I can't change that but I would rather they keep it to themselves. Im not someone who woke up last week and decided to move to Canada we have spent a long time on this decision I'm not expert but we have read a lot of things and talked to many people. If people have anything they think will help with and visa stuff please send me a link so I can read through it all.

Thanks again.

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

I understand and I am inclined to agree with you, but this forum works best if you stick to immigration and visas in the immigration forum and take off-topic discussions to one of the "chat" forums, such as The Maple Leaf, or The Lounge. :)

You might just want to ignore some responses entirely, that is your prerogative, and engage with those people who answer your questions. That said, everyone knows their stuff here, and they are therefore likely to tell you more or less the same thing, or at least very consistent things, perhaps phrased slightly differently.

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

Thank you, this was actually really helpful. It is what we thought,it was confusing to start with but figured it out. Have you actually made the move from UK to Canada?

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

I put this in the introduction forum and it got moved to this one, I actually have no idea what forum I am in. My bad I guess, just said they moved us to the Canada section. Thanks though I will go have a look at one of the chat forums.

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

Fair point.

Might I suggest the following as an example of going about it the wrong way.

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

I'm sorry I/some of us upset you by asking a question or two to try & clarify my/our understanding of your situation, & posting some comments/links that I/we thought *might* help.

Believe it or not, members here do actually try to help, mostly. I don't see any post that bashed you.

Can we all take a deep breath & start over?

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

you seemed to missed out the part where I said the benefit system is a great system for people that need it. Many people do need it and use it properly. However like those lovely tv shows where people go on and proudly boast about abusing the benefit system and how they get paid for doing nothing. It does get abused by a lot of people. Your lucky if you have never seen anyone that does that I tend to see them every day.

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

The "Canada" forum is for immigration, visas, and things related to "moving over". "The Maple Leaf" is for banter and chat. ..... look near the top left of the screen, there is the forum "path". It shows: "British Expats/ Living and Moving Abroad/ Canada" for the Canada forum. :)

The path is clickable, so if you click on "Living and Moving Abroad", you will see all the overseas forums, click on British Expats and you'll see all the forums. :)

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

Thank you will take a look ever there

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

Don't side track your own thread:rofl:

Welcome,

No one is saying you can't come, the posters who have responded have offered you helpful advice, but of course it's overwhelming and difficult to see when none of it makes any sense! To get the best out of the forum, it's usually easier to answer the questions asked, you might not see the point of them but they are generally being asked for a good reason. It's also best not to spoon feed information.

Initially your husband's job sounded problematic but knowing that not many people around can do his skill helps. If you can figure out his NOC code as Engineer Abroad very helpfully pointed out, you might be a huge step forward in the whole process. People here generally want to help you succeed not hold you back.

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

Which is somewhat different to saying most people.
I spent over 30 years working for DSS/DWP. I know quite a bit about it too.

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

Sorry I didn't even realize you posted or if I actually replied to you.

So breathing and starting over, if you don't mind me asking. How did you move to Canada? What kind of visa did you use? You don't have to reply I realize that may be an annoying question you get asked a lot.

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

There are so many different posters on here, all using different ways to get here. It kind of doesn't matter what someone else used, it's what *you* can use to move here which is again what those previous posts relate to.

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

Yeah I get that but we have looked into the ways we can use and picked out which ways we would like to use.

Re: Help need some Canadian advice.
 

I moved to Canada by applying for & obtaining a Quebec selection certificate as a Skilled worker which enabled me to then get a FSW PR visa. Many many years ago. So not terribly relevant to *your* possible routes to Canadian PR.

We're asking questions about your husband's NOC, & about some of the things you posted, to try & help you.
