Default UK Citz on US visa to CDN?

Hi,

Does anyone how easy or difficult it would be to move from the US to Canada as a UK citizen on a US J1 work visa?? or what the options may be from the US to Canada?

A J-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa issued by the United States to exchange visitors participating in programs that promote cultural exchange.

Thanks.

You cannot use a J-1 US visa in Canada.

You would have to go through the same processes as if you had no US visa. Canada isnt interested in US visa. They have their own processes...

Depending on your situation you can get maybe a BUNAC (if you are under 30)... do you want to work here or just visit?

JAJ - Thanks, I don't want to use the J1 to enter Canada.

Mermaid3011 - I've used BUNAC already, unable re-apply as I'm over 30.

Was hoping to relocate but finding it impossible to obtain work as I have no work permit - and I can't get a permit as I have no job offer.

I'm in the hotel industry as I was trying to relocate via the PNP pilot which looks like it's ended.

Thanks again
