Re: Thinking of moving to Canada
I must admit 700+ posts later i do try and keep away from the new section or advise new ones to read the wiki
Hubby joined a few weeks ago and i sent him a PM, he told me that he wasnt allowed to read it until he got to 3 posts, try sending them a email rather than a PM
Judy has been on here along time, very helpful to me and millions more, but i do think when you sign up you should be directed to the wiki articles, would of saved me sometime in the mean time

I'm not proud of myself for being rude and, as I myself said in the article called "Tips on using the forum," when you feel yourself getting hot under the collar, consider taking a break from the forum.

Re: Thinking of moving to Canada
Hi,
Thankyou to those who have replied to my post on here and by email, I really do appreciate your messages and advice. I can`t view PM`s yet until I have 3 posts. I am not a troll or dodgy. I am genuine young lady who is looking for advice on emigrating to Canada with my family, which is big step to take in most people lives and want to make sure that I have done my research and get first hand experiences from people who have done it and or in the process of doing it. I will read the information people have posted thankyou. A bit about my family.
I am 30 my husband 32
Two boys nearly 4 and 18 months
I was a Team Manager for Mobile company for 12 years - quit to be a SAHM as could not get flexible hours.
Husband is Mechanical Engineer for a Petrochemicals Company for 16 years, served apprenticeship from leaving school.
We would qualify to emigrate, but undecided whether to go for PR or Temp work permit.
Regards
Andrea

Re: Thinking of moving to Canada
Hi andrea
Welcome back, you will need to look into the mech/eng side of it.
Some trade needs a license to work, others need to be regisitered.
Best way round is to use google.ca for the job side and also check out the job search.
On wiki there is a section on job searching and ofcourse changing your cv to a resume for the canadian job market.
Work Permit is quicker, skilled worker with PR currently 5yrs and rising every second (well seems like every second )
We are a friendly bunch on here honest, The best way to check an area out is to take a recci there, lots of people move to different area of canada, what someone loves isnt anothers love
There is a search button at the top, have a look at what others have said on the area, hope that helps
