well expat tel us how it is

Sir Stampalot

I went to the Expo 08 at Leeds today, and spoke to Melodie who was representing IMP. She appeared to be very intersted in my aviation background, and if I had my cv with me, actually offered me an interview for this coming week.

So it is with interest that I have stumbled across this forum and have noted the posts in this thread.

First question is "why the secret pm's " about any interview techniques, and secondly, there seems to have been, or there may still be some unrest amongst the British expats who are currently over in Canada.

Can someone please in the "know" either clarify the above points or put the matter to bed.

hi sir stampalot
here here to what you're saying.i had my interview back in feb and have had nothing but good and positive feed back from imp,the only thing stopping me from being in canada and an employee of imp is that i can not sell my house ,i have even dropped it 25 grand and still no movement. i am going to the expo in leeds tomorrow just to say hi and to let them know that the only thing from stopping me from being there is the house,i am also fed up with the negative replies about imp when no one can come up with an honest answer. they and when i have been in contact they (imp) have been understanding and helpful,

Hi Dave

I may be stating the obvious, but why are you selling your house? I am also a home owner, but my plans would be to find employment in Canada, then rent a house over there and see what happens.

I have lost most of the equity in my house since the "credit crunch" so I would not gain anything by trying to sell. My plan would be to rent my house in the short term, and if for any reason Canada was not for me or my family, then I would at least have a place to return to.

I work at IMP and as I have said before I am happy to answer any questions by pm. The pms are not secret they are just private. All questions welcome

To answer your preivous post first, there are many expats working at IMP. Some are management, some staff and some on the shopfloor. Which ever you contact will give you their slant on working for IMP from their experience. Because there are so many expats this site is monitored by IMP staff. So as people have said PM's are not secret thay are just private and people at IMP will give you their opinion in answers to your questions, they just do not wont the world to know their opinions. You should not base the decision on whether to move to Canada on other peoples opinions either it is a decision for yourself and family based on your research.

To anser you other questions, if you rent out your house in england to will have to declare the rent as overseas income on your Canadian Tax Return and pay tax in canada on that income. In UK you can offset the rent against your outstanding mortgage for tax purposes. I am not sure if that is permissable in Canada you will have to research that before you take that decision.

Winston

hi sir stampalot,
where my wife works, she sees everyday what happens or can happen to rented property,ie, rent not being paid ,the house trashed, if something goes wrong you have to sort it but your in canada not easy,the letting agencies that we have spoken to want 10% plus and all they do is nothing,if there is a problem they let you know,no one in to rent your house you still have to pay the mortgage,and the rent or mortgage in canada becomes expensive ,so with the wife and i the only option is to sell,we have dropped it a lot but will still make some profit which will be our deposit and other necessities,as regards to coming back to the uk,it will work in canada life has got to be better there
