Student Options
Hi all,
another question on the student option.Supposing we come over and my wife starts her college course ,something on management.Now bearing in mind that her occupation is on the NOC as a retail manager,what would happen if she landed a permanent job in said occupation.Would she be able to quite the course and start her new job or is this scenario a no no,ie would we all be kicked out .
Thanks for your time and patience people.
Cheer,s Arty

Re: Student Options
If you are talking about your original scenario (your wife with study permit and you with open work permit as her dependent) then things are not as simple as one may hope. If she quits school then study permit and your open work permit are gone - in order to be able to start working she will have to have job offer with positive Labour Market Opinion (highly unlikely in any retail sales occupations as employer would have to advertise job nationally for at least 3 months with stated terms sufficient enough to attract and retain Canadians and document that regardless such effort no Canadian candidate was found) and apply for new work permit. And of course you will have to apply for new open permit after she gets hers.

i thought as much,looks as if the original route is our best option.My only concern is my ability to gain employment in my field ,i have had little if any feedback from prospective employers.
Hopefully that would change when i am on Canadian soil,but if i fail to get a job on the NOC list it would mean a go back to UK ticket toot sweet.
That is the concern living the life for 2-3 years and then going back to the UK and then there is the added disruption for the kids.That is why we want to move, to bring the children up in a more stable environment but to taste that fruit ,then loose it pretty cruel.
Sometimes you should never taste what you could never achieve.
So much to think about and very little time to go about it.
Cheers Andrew
