My husband and I are unsure which route to take to apply to emigrate to Ontario, Canada. I have a degree and I am a practising midwife. My husband does not have a university education but he is quite high up in an international company. I realise my job is not on "the list" of jobs in demand and I am not nurse trained so I am unsure which route to go down to apply. It is all so confusing. Should we apply both apply or just one of us? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi Nova,

Do either of you have a job offer? If not, and you're not on 'the list', then neither of you would be eligible to apply as Skilled Workers anyway, and most other visas also require a job offer. But when it comes to applying, only one of you would need to and then the other would accompany.

Your best bet is to read the Wiki (on blue bar at top of page) to figure out which visa you or your husband would be eligible for, and then you can ask specific questions about it.

Thanks for your response.

My husband is in negotiations at the moment with the Ontario branch of his company. Hopefully he will have a job offer soon. If he does then we will be going down that route but I wasn't sure if my status would also help.

So would he be being transferred? If so, then this Wiki page may help - http://britishexpats.com/wiki/Intra-...ransfer-Canada

If he's the one getting the TWP, then your employment status will make no difference, but you would get an open work permit in any event off the back of his TWP.

I know I have read it somewhere, but I can't find it now... What is a TWP?

DOH! I knew it would be something really straight forward.

Thanks for your help.
