no, thanks, just huge delays and what i took to be a realistic timescale which has just vanished. instead of being over in ab for christmas its now looking like early summer. reading about nightmares with prospective employers it dosn't particularly endear me to the edmonton police. trying to stay focused is difficult.
I have no idea if this is of any help to you at this point in time, but I thought I'd bring it up for you or anyone else who may be interested.
From the Calgary Police Service website:
"Effective immediately, having Canadian Citizenship or Permanent Resident Status is not a necessary pre-requisite to apply to the Calgary Police Service as an international applicant. Interested persons may submit their entire application package at their convenience."
Also of interest to UK Experienced Officers
Cheers

2) Ignoring 1), brought every single thing we owned in the UK to Canada instead of selling all that irreplacable stuff on Ebay or having garage sales ....
Not what you want to hear, but that's life.

So what's gone wrong ? Feel free to tell me to get stuffed (public forum etc)
Are you going on PNP or skilled worker ? Are you reliant upon EPS because of that ?
I'm sure an employer like the EPS will bugger you about like your average construction/trucking firm would
hi, on pnp, not so much gone wrong as perhaps expectations, which may have been just mine to be fair, being dashed. this after a long, extensive, intensive and expensive programme, though i appreciate, nothing like what some are going through. don't want to winge as acknowledge i am very fortunate to be in this position, though thanks for asking.

As Bleech said......I would have sold the UK house rather than renting!!!! It was a nightmare getting the tenants out and now it's not selling
Also wish we had bought a property here a year ago!!!! when they were affordable.

We would have brought more belongings and made sure we were on the same flights - not 6 weeks apart - just caused more stress than was worth it.
