Looking to move to Toronto
 
Hi guys,

I'm 28 and my wife is 26 we are both British, I'm a software developer (without a degree) and she's an accountant ACCA qualified with a degree.

How are the job markets for our professions in Toronto or if anyone has links to typical salaries etc that would be great.

I'm also wondering what the best route for us would be to move over, and what our options are basically? We would ideally like to move over to Canada permenantly and set up life there before we have kids etc.

Thanks in advance
Dan

Welcome to BE. You should start by reading the Wiki on the blue bar above. That will answer most of your questions. When you can be a bit more specific ask away.
Good luck.

Have you ever visited/lived in Canada before?

If not, IEC visas might be a good first step. Program should re-open around the new year.

We've not been there no, we are planning a trip to scout it out.

Yeah I read about the experience canada thing, is it normal for people to go from that type of visa to a permanent one? As in will employers hire people for normal jobs on that visa? Not just like seasonal or bar work etc?
