moving to vancouver visa application times
Hello,
My girlfriend has spend the past couple of years working out in Canada and loves it out there, she is unlikely to have any issues as her previous Canadian employer offered to sponsor her visa if she wants to return.I spent a couple of weeks in Vancouver this year and am pretty keen to go out there for a year at least to begin with. I am a Java programmer and have joined up to a few mailing lists to see what the job markets like and if there is much possibility of me getting work. What i would like to know is what the lead time is for a visa? I would like to move out to van at the end of next year sept onwards really. Does anyone have any experience of the it sector for Java out in Vancouver? your help would be much appreciated. I Only graduated from Uni in 2010, but have been employed full time since, would this work in my favor? thanks for the help Alex |

What kind of visa are you referring to? The timescales really will depend on that. No, only a mod can do it for you, but it's in the right place now. Can i get into canada without a job? I would prefer to go with one arranged. I find the whole canadian visa website quite confusing tbh. I end up going round in circles ending up back where i started. |

im not really sure, i thought i had to apply for a temporary work visa and then apply for a full work permit after that, but i think there are probably other options like the bunac, but i think that requires me to leave at the end of the visa period.
