Can anyone give me some information on what i could expect if I moved to Canada with a young child? And with very very little money.....

Thanks.

Not being flippant, but a hard time.

Very little safety net over here.

Moving countries is not cheap and finding a job in Canada isn't necessarily easy. You would need a chunk of savings to get you here and to set you up, particularly if you didn't have a job before you got here.

Also, you'd need to have a close look at how you might actually be eligible for entry - the wiki explains a lot.

Does anyone remember (and can find) the threads with that mum who was here with a partner and things went a bit wrong and she tried to make it work staying on as a single parent?

That was quite illustrative of potential problems and solutions.

I remember her threads but I'm buggered if I can remember the posters name.

Sorry.

I believe it is sas-lou

Here is one of her many threads, hope she is doing ok now

Are you Canadian or have residency and with family support in Canada? If so it might work. If not, this would be a very bad idea in my view

Yep, that's her.

Well worth a look for the OP.

Is that avatar Andy Carroll's new look?

If you're just looking to get out of the UK, for whatever reason, just make sure you have the go-ahead and paperwork to legally be able to take your child.

Also, why Canada?

Wow, some blasts from the past names on that thread. I remember it well now.

Oh, very good. Ask JamesM who it is.
