Hi there,
I wonder if anyone could offer me some advice (links, useful resources, etc). I am a
UK citizen and I graduated with a BSc in computer science with honours in June of
last year. I am 22 years old, and am currently working in the US at a national lab
(using a J-1 visa good until September of this year).
I have spent quite a lot of time in BC, Canada over the years and would very much
like to work/live there. I would just like some information on how easy it will be
for to find a job, obtain visa sponsorship, etc. over there. I have skills that are
in demand & I have some pretty impressive work experience.
I have not given it much thought yet, but say for example I would like to find a job
in Vancouver starting in January of next year, when and how should I start applying
for jobs. I know a little about the US work visas (e.g. the H-1B), but I understand
that Canada's policies are a little more relaxed.
I hope someone can help me out with some info. Thanks very much in advance
- Best regards,
Lee
PS: I am not eligible for programmes like BUNAC's 'Work Canada' as I will have been
out of university for over 12 months by the time I wish to work there.
