We (me, wife 2 children)have at last our visa for skilled worker. We are looking to go over in Feb to complete next stage. Any one have any general advice or experiences re the stage they can share. We are looking to register then return to uk then move permanently early summer, can any one advise as to how/when we need to list all our belongings etc to customs/immigration. additionally albeit we have succeeded in our process, we have one or two questions we feel may be best answered from a reputable immigration lawyer can anyone recommend a good one in london UK. many thanks.

A related question. If you activate your permanent residency, then return to UK, for BC how does this affect the 90days to take your driving test - does this start from when you become PR?

The 90 days starts when you become an actual resident in BC, i.e, when you move there to live, not when you land to activate your PR visa.
