Re: Hi There From A Ginger Uker
Hello Ginger,
My boyfriend and i have decided to try and find eployment so we can go on a twp and apply for pr when we get there. We are going on a recce in september and hopefully we'll know more by the end of our trip.
Have you made headway with how you are going to apply?

I'm not too sure how I apply for say like a 12 month "holiday" visa???
Can I work on a holiday visa, say for cash in hand??

Re: Hi There From A Ginger Uker
Hey Guys.....
Newport way huh?...great.
If I am brutally honest, I am hoping to go as soon as possible.
I am a Postie by trade, and looking to take a career break and spend it over in Edmonton, Alberta. I have heard there are Bike Courier jobs I could do to support myself.
What about you Guys?

Re: Hi There From A Ginger Uker
I work in Telecoms and Deb in accountancy. We went over to Toronto about 4 years ago and just got hooked on Canada. We've not been back long from our Western Canada tour, which took in various places except Edmonton. Would love to have gone there but my lack of funds and time of work kinda meant we had to give it a miss. We'd love to get out of the UK (especially Milton Keynes) asap.... I've been here a while, so I've done my time

Isn't it funny how we share the same attitude in wanting out of MK??
How did you end up here?
So will you be heading to Toronto as a place to live?

Re: Hi There From A Ginger Uker
Undecided on where we want to live at the moment. We originally thought that we'd end up in either Calgary or Vancouver (like a lot of ex-pats I suppose). But after visiting both we found Calgary wasn't really what we were after and Vancouver to be really pricey. So we're hoping to take a holiday to Nova Scotia and see what that holds. I'm kinda expecting to be totally different from Vancouver...
