Hi Everyone,

My name is Abby, I'm British and looking to move to Peterborough in Ontario, Canada to be with my partner who is a Canadian permanent resident originally from England as well.

I'm originally from Manchester and now live in London. I work as an Intranet Manager for an insurance company.

I'm confused about how it might be possible to get there, hoping to find info and looking forward to connecting with others on this great site!

Hi, and welcome.

I lived near Peterborough, some lovely places around there.

If you and your partner have lived together for a year or more, then the quickest/easiest visa route by a mile is for him to sponsor you for Permanent Residency, which will take around 6 months. You'd then also be a PR of Canada.

If you haven't, then you can either get married (he could then sponsor you as his spouse), or you'll need to qualify for a visa on your own merits. This Wiki page will give you an overview of your visa options if your partner cannot sponsor you - http://britishexpats.com/wiki/Quick_...an_Immigration

Hope that helps, and do come over to the Canada forum where hopefully you'll be made to feel very welcome.

Good luck with it all.

Hi Abby, welcome!

Peterborough is a lovely town in an absolutely gorgeous part of the country. We live a few hours away, in northern NY state.. we visited Peterborough a couple of times a few years ago, when our son was offered a place at Trent University. He decided to go elsewhere, but Trent is a fine institution. We found a very nice brew pub in Peterborough..

Good luck in your endeavors to move to Canada!

I hope I can get there!

Hello and a big welcome to BE.

Excellent information can be found in the BE Wiki, not forgetting the Living and Moving Abroad forum that will help you, another set of great help is the permanent threads at the TOP of each forum, they are very pertinent to that particular forum and makes sensible reading.

Moderators deal with any problems that arise such as inappropriate posts, spammers etc, you will find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index in bold font.

Please contact me if I can give you any further help.
