Well it's that old saying love is blind! I'm not going out like everyone else with rose tinted glasses an could be back here within 6 months but have contingency plans if all goes wrong. If I don't let him do it then for rest of my life it'll be my fault an don't want that. So gonna take plunge an just hope all goes well an if not will be back home here an start again. To be honest not end of world just half way round the world.

Understand where your coming from but guess at end of day it's my decision an love my husband that much have to go if it dies or doesn't work out I'll do what everyone else does come back home an start again, I won't be penniless. One thing sure though I started with nothing an i'll leave with nothing but least I'll be able to say I experienced it on the way :-)

Sorry to be blunt ML but he sounds as though he wants to go on his own.

Seriously ask yourself if your marriage is a hppy one right now - because emigrating will break it due to the stresses of the move.

Its very easy to come on here and be judgemental about peoples situations. What I would say is do alot of research first. I'm guessing your husband is a trucker like me in the UK, fed up with driving here and longs for the open road and the possibility of a bounteous new lifestyle. Thats fine and possible from what I've seen and heard but there are also plenty of horror stories. Has he been on the trucking forum part of the site? There's lots of expat truckers with information in there, both good and bad. I guarantee for that sort of money though, he will be away driving all week, in hideous conditions in the winter. I would tell him to research all the companies in the area....obviously the Loblaw recruiter is going to tell your husband what he wants to hear! They are Supermarket deliverers arn't they? Could be jumping from the frying pan into the fire?!
Have you got kids? You will have to learn to drive...do it in Canada though, no point doing it here now. There are many Brit families on here living in or around Regina, have a talk to them, you'll get a better insight.
We are lucky, initially we are staying with family who live 40 mins north of Regina, near Southey. They've been there 8 years now and absolutely love it there. They came back here at xmas for a wedding, enjoyed it but we're pleased to get back to Canada.
It's difficult when someone gets a bee in their bonnet about emigrating...the rose tinted spectacles appear! Research, research,research....and visit if possible first!
Good luck

Thank you for your reply.

I have been informed that I cannot go out anyway and he cannot provide a Spouse sponsorship until he has a PR (permanent residency), which takes two years apparently.

By whom?! I presume he's going on PNP? If so, you are perfectly entitled to go with him, you just wouldn't be able to work straight away if you wanted to.

ML, it's none of my business, but your hubby has got it very wrong indeed.
Loblaws have actually acquired open work permits from the Saskatchewan goverment for spouses. This is to help entice truckers with families over to Regina. If you go over with your hubby you'll be entitled to work right away without having to wait for pr.

That is not what the HR lady has said at Loblaws She said that I can apply once out there and there is a possiblity that I can try with the immigration officers at the port of entry but nothing definate.

ML, there seems to be a lot of cloudiness with regards to this Loblaws job. An expat transport manager who works for loblaws at the Regina Global Hub stated on another forum that spouses where entitled to open work permits.

If your OH has been nominated for the Saskatchewan PNP Programme which is known as SINP
Read this link
http://www.saskimmigrationcanada.ca/trucker

If he is being nominated under this programme then this will apply to you
Note: Spouses or common-law partners of work permit holders who have been nominated for permanent residence by a province will be entitled to open work permits for the duration of the work permit of the provincial nominee principal applicant, irrespective of the skill level of the principal applicant‘s occupation. While there is reluctance on the part of CIC and HRSDC/SC to support work permits for lower-skilled workers because their skills profile would not normally qualify them for permanent immigration to Canada, concerns regarding these persons going out of status and remaining in Canada illegally are mitigated when the foreign national has been nominated for permanent residence. If a province feels a foreign national is sufficiently needed in its labour market to nominate that person, then having that job filled is clearly important, irrespective of where in the NOC that particular job is classified. Since, in the long run, the spouse or common-law partner is going to be a member of the Canadian labour market anyway, allowing them to enter the market and begin work as soon as possible will hasten the integration process
