Re: What are our chances?
It is my understanding that carpet fitters are like gold dust where we are (Golden, BC). Assuming this is is the case then I would expect there to be a shortage elsewhere too.
An English friend of ours in town was a carpet fitter back home but likes to keep it very hush hush so people don't bug him to fit theirs!
I would have thought it would be possible to get a job offer from a flooring company but it may mean doing the rounds in person. I don't know anything about the LMO or qualifications side of this or how easy it would be to get a work permit for such a job.
Good luck if you go ahead,
Ian.

Hi peeps, ok im so baffled and bewildered at all the immigration process, i just dont know where to start.I know my husband and i are going to find it difficult to get in because we dont hold qaulifications and im not a skilled worker,so the odds are against us before we begin it seems.I just dont know what route we should take, i doubt i can get a student visa to be trained as a nurse in canada because i dont even have A levels to get on a course here let alone Canada
i dont want to repeat mylast post but in a nutshell my husband is self employed and i only work part time as a house keeper(no career but it fits in with the kids with regards to not needing childcare) we would be looking to go to canada and my husband continue being a self employed carpet fitter,once he is established he would be looking to train some one up and employ them to work along side him.even though iv looked into the possibilty of nursing if im honest id rather have an evening partime job just as i do here because i dont want to get childcare for our 3 children.I love the fact im home to greet the kids when there home from school ect... if we did get to canada i think it would be a big enough change as it is with out me being absent from home studying/training ect...., so truthfully what can we do?is there any other skill i could gain which would enable us to get to canada easier? or am i just dreaming of the impossible for us unless i kick myself up the dairy-air and force my self to get into something like nursing? any opinions are mucho appreciated thankyou
