NVQs aren't recognized here.

Re: Please Help - Annual / Sick Leave in Canada

Re: To consider Canada or not

For the majority of positions teaching at a college a degree will be required. Without a degree there is no way that one can teach at a university.

Re: British parents + USA born child = which form for citizenship?

Re: Funding University - Tax Breaks

Re: Linked-In "lady"

Re: new laptop from Canada, worth taking back

Buy a carry case for the laptop and walk through with it on your shoulder so as to avoid paying tax on it. I have never once been questioned about a laptop when arriving in the UK.
