I'm confused. Do you and your OH share this username? It's just that the last time you were on here, one of you said that one of you is a nurse.

I've not heard of a Law Inforcement Nurse (or of law inforcement in general).

Nor had I heard that the UK is opening its gates (???) to the rest of Europe. But if you mean there'll be some extra immigrants to the UK perhaps, don't you think that becoming one yourself is a very strange response?

It (he/she) said that their PR status was activated in 2007 and they only showed up in 2010 because they had to use it or lose it.

So no, it appears they would have to start from scratch. I suggest they don't.

I allus loves it when the reason for immigrating is too many immigrants.

Faverit.

I seem to have missed your reply. It's either because you are very cross about somebody's reply or very unsure about another's ?

Can you let us know which, and how we can help?

bats

Probably both. Thery have lost their PR, living in Canada for 6 months in 5 years is nowhere near close.

Shard

Ahem, are we not getting a bit catty here? OP is bold enough to give Canada a second try, despite an expired visa, nothing wrong with that.

bats

Nope, nothing wrong with that. It's the rest that annoyed me.

Afternoon,

The reason I ( we hubby and myself) have not been on here to constructively reply to you all as you have obviously hijacked a post that was intended to create a discussion to ask for advice.

Expats was a fantastic source of information and we made alots of friends on here, many who we have met personally.

Bats.. whoever you are ( only a member since July 2012!! ) .You are no use to people on this forum, you must keep your sarcastic opinions to yourself.

We do not want to leave the UK to get away from Immigrants.. ( what an awful assumption you have made).. we simply stated that the gates would be open to the rest of Europe soon. ( Overcrowding and lack of jobs for these 'immigrants' anyway, huge strain on NHS etc.)

Thank you to those who at least replied with some form of genuine interest.

Yes to those who have looked through our other posts ( well done big cheers).

Is it hard to believe that I ( mother of 2) can be a successful Ranking Detective in the Police and a Practicing Registered general Nurse??? ( two careers) and going back to Univesrity soon also!! I think not.. well thats my situation I have worked very hard to get where I am and will always work hard. Perhaps more than others I work daily with the public and see objectively what is happening to the UK.

Our PR, of course is expired and we would have to start again.. whats the hardship in that?? Life is a journey and we sure are living it

I shall not be replying to this post again and hope that those who seek to chastise our situation go and find something useful with your day to do.

Expats im sorry that I shall be saying farewell to you and was looking forward to helping and advising others as we have a lot of experience in this area. However the few as usual spoil it for the rest.

No reason to run away just because some others have different opinions than your own. Fight your corner or tell people to piss off, but don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

Epic Flounce.

Bats has been here for longer. Just as someone else.

Almost Canadian

What's there to spite?

I can't think of many replies that were in any way helpful. She will likely receive a more considered response by stopping anyone in the street and asking them.

Shard

That's true that the replies were not particularly helpful, but the OP doesn't do herself any favours by leaving BE when she's planning a return to Canada. Her action impacts her more than those she intends it to impact.

Perhaps she'll be back under another name. Indeed the tone of her post reminds me very much of that person who became wildly upset and a bit paranoid when others criticised the immigration consultant she used (some guy-alot or something like that).

MillieF

Oh I remember her that was what I call a good flounce!

To be fair, it was going to be a bit hard to help her in the first place wasn't it? Anyone who starts a thread, 'Dreams, Hopes and Dilemmas' is going to come a bit of a cropper, especially as lots on here would have jumped through hoops on a daily basis to get the chance to come to Canada. It's easy to disparage the country....and God knows I have my off days, but there are a hell of a lot who would do anything they could to get here.

Oink

A racist flounce.
The UK will be much better off without that sort of attitude. I see you've at this for seven or so years, how can we help speed up your application process?
