Hi
Been on this forum for a while but finally decided to post.
My husband, myself and children are planning on moving to Canada, my husband received a job offer today and now I am panicking and super excited. The company are planning on sorting out work permits etc and would like him there ASAP.
I suppose the questions I ask are what do I do first? Do I put the house on the market then start looking at shipping container companies? Do I wait for papers to be finalised? I think my husband will have to fly out first and I will follow with the children once things are sold and tied up in UK.
Any experiences and advice would be so helpful and reassuring.

Definitely wait for the paperwork to be finalized before making final arrangements for shipping. No harm in getting quotes now so you have an idea of what you will be looking at when the time comes though.
Good Luck with everything

The most important thing to remember is what the T in TWP stands for - Temporary. Personally I wouldn't be selling my UK property until I had PR status. I also wouldn't be buying in Canada until I had PR status. I would also suggest renting first anyway so you can work out if you are in the right area. As another poster has said, buying a house too soon can be a very expensive mistake (I bought 2 house within the first year here so I also know this from personal experience). Should the worst happen and you have to return to the UK, it a lot easier to get out of a lease than it is to try to sell a house.
Definitely wait for the paperwork to be finalized before making final arrangements for shipping. No harm in getting quotes now so you have an idea of what you will be looking at when the time comes though.

It's not a fact what you are saying. Just because a company is large doesn't mean it would have applied for a 'bunch of LMOs'.
My employer employs 10,000+ people. It is a very large employer. Up to now, my LMO from over 3 years ago is the only one they've ever been issued.
Under the provisions of the A-LMO scheme, even they would not be able to apply for an A-LMO.
The A-LMO scheme actually exists only to accelerate applications from all types of organisations, not for the sole convenience of large companies.

My problem is that it's misleading to say a large company will have applied for a bunch of LMO's, just because it's a large company.

I would not sell up until you have PR. More than one poster on here has had to go back home after being laid off from their LMO job.

You are implying that all large companies, just because they are large, will have access to the A-LMO scheme. The 'fact' is, that simply isn't true, as demonstrated by my employer's situation.
I'll leave it at that.

Growing zoo, have you visited Canada before? I visited several times, and whilst I quite liked lots of aspects of it, I wasn't exactly bowled over. I'm getting to like it more now I'm living here, thank goodness, but I really would add my caution to that of others. Come to Canada, have a great adventure and a different experience, but don't sell your home or comit to anything until you are sure.

FWIW, I don't think the size of the company has anything to do with A-LMO's. My husband's company is very large and has moved lots of employees over (including him), but all have been on intra-company transfer TWP's, so the company wouldn't be eligible for the A-LMO scheme.

FWIW, I don't think the size of the company has anything to do with A-LMO's. My husband's company is very large and has moved lots of employees over (including him), but all have been on intra-company transfer TWP's, so the company wouldn't be eligible for the A-LMO scheme.

Your statement that 'a large company will have applied for a bunch of LMOs, and will be part of the ALMO scheme - that's a fact!' is one I happen to disagree with, as I know of numerous large companies that don't qualify for A-LMO's (and small ones that do). It doesn't mean that logic is tripping me up though just because I don't agree with your sweeping statement.

I also don't really understand why you're now saying that 'A-LMO doesn't have anything to do with the size of the company', which seems to be completely at odds with what you've said above? i.e. 'if it's a large company, they will be part of the Accelerated LMO (Labour Market Opinion) scheme', etc.

I don't know any small companies that have used ALMOs.
