Yes Morwenna that's my fault as usual didn't even think to look who had sent it. I'm glad some one is awake I can't even blame the drink as i only had 2 glasses of wine . There's always one in the bunch

Just as well, because Vancouver is way more expensive than Cornwall. Having done both, I prefer renting to owning a property.

Judy - the employer picks up the bill for this one, consultants cant charge the employee for finding them a job. We are also meeting them in april when we are over so if they are any good ill add them to the calgary wiki unless someone has dealt with them before we meet them.

We have also done our leg work and arranged 5 other interviews up for other half, also school's to look at, need to find area that we will like so will get in contact with realator etc etc

Best way is to arrange a recci and advise employers you are coming, we are also going to get in contact with consultants, but £5k is alot of cash to pay someone to do a job that i can do easily, especially with the fab wiki section

Hi.

This question is for Christmasoompa, You said in this thread you took your cats over. We are starting the process of immigrating and are gathering as much info as we can.
Could you tell me any more info. ie- which carrier you used, cost, any problems you encountered? We have two cats, and they are already veteran travellers, having moved with us from the Channel Isles to Holland. They were less stressed than us!

Many thanks, Craig & Janis ( the undutchables)

Hi Judy,

Regarding the agency, the employer pay the agency, not us. The only thing we had to pay was $450.00 to the Alberta Industry Trade Standards. we had to send them an application form with previous employers, work xperience etc. we also had to send supporting documentation such as photos.
We found them really helpful and went through every step very clearly so you know what to expect from the process. I would recommend them to anyone.

Gill £1200 of the 5k was for our Pr, £600 for medicals immigration consultant fee was £2500, £250 for applicant processing fee what ever way people do it they still have to fork out a fee for pr At the time of my application I hadn't found this site. But i was happy to pay for consultant £2500 it was a small price to pay as we're now on our way to Vancouver.

Did you have to pay all this money up front or as your application went along?????

Oh don't worry ..... there are usually several!

This is really useful information, chater. Thanks for clarifying.

No doubt it will be a decent investment. However, in West Van it is a case of "if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it".

My company made some custom furniture for a house in West Van that was bought last year for $30m. Now don't get me wrong, it's a nice enough house, but it's not even on one of the best streets ...

Hi Shanook79 The answer is no not all We only paid $500 up front this was for the applicant processing fee. paid consultants services once they had a contract of employment and all neccessary docs to submit to the BCPNP ours was approx 8 weeks after we submitted application . Most people i believe apply for PR once they get into canada Our consultant applied for us before hand so Application for a family of 4 amounted to £1234. The final payment was medicals( £600 as mentioned , family of 4 ) depending how quick CIC in london work regards chaz

Thank you very much Chaz, you have been very helpful
