Interesting replies. Having visited the York Emigrate show last month I was quite surprised at the kind of people who were there at the Canada sessions; it seemed to me that the majority were at least 40, whereas I was expecting the majority to be in the 20-35 age group. Just my observation - maybe I'm a poor judge of age.
I suppose it takes time to gather the age and experiences that the points system requires. I suppose sometimes it also takes a while before you realize you need a new challenge etc. I wonder what the stats are for the average age of skilled worker immigrant...

In my experience, of expats that i've met, they have all been mid to late 30's early 40's when they emigrated. We fall into that catagory, oh was 37 when we applied and 40 when we moved, i was 35 and 38 respectively.
I suppose it's a mid-life, don't do it now then never will, kind've thing, when people in that age group emigrate, also they're probably secure enough financially/relationship/career to make the big move. as was the case with us.
So just wondered what ages people are? (i'm also just nosey)

This whole process of just getting into Canada is enough to age anybody by 10 years
