Bear in mind that all Police services in Ontario have the same hiring standards, and all recuits attend the Ontario Police College . Your UK experience will be taken into account, during the interview process.
I wouldn't focus on Barrie to the exclusion of all others. It is a relatively small department, with limited vacancies per year. The larger city forces are much more likely to have jobs available to you. For example, the Ontario Provincial Police has over 7,000 uniform officers, and in many cases, being provided with a house, goes with an assignment to a isolated OPP detachment in the northern part of the Province.
Peel Region, London, Ottawa, North Bay, Kingston and Sudbury all have city forces, with 200 to 800 officers .

Hello Judy;
No, not quite.
Ontario Police Services require an applicant to be EITHER a Canadian citizen, or hold a PR card, before they apply for consideration. The PNP in Ontario does NOT apply to Police applicants, at this time. So, a UK Police officer has to have their PR status to apply to any Police service in Ontario.
Calgary and Edmonton, in Alberta, are the ONLY ones, in Canada, that I know of, who are willing to accept and put thru their training courses, individuals that are NOT citizens and who don't currently hold a PR card. The reason ? I don't know, for sure , but it may have something to do with a special arrangement with CIC, or the Provincial Government of Alberta has made a back door deal with the Feds, in this matter.
In any case, the recruit who has NOT gotten their PR status by the time they "graduate " from the Calgary or Edmonton Police training schools , will have to WAIT until they have their PR, before they can be "sworn in " and start regular Police duties. That is a requirement of the Police Act, in all Provinces in Canada. As I said previously, the RCMP only accepts Canadian citizens as recruits to it's ranks. That is a requirement of the RCMP Act that regulates the day to day activities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, both sworn members and civilian employees.
