Help for a newbie starting out

[gbraide]

Hi there!

I'm looking at moving over to Canada from the UK, only I would be if I knew where to start! I've just become so overwhelmed by it all, I'm finding it so hard to know what questions need to be answered as I've never ventured into anything like this before in my life and I really wouldn't know where to begin!

I've looked online and taken one of those eligibility tests, which as a skilled worker, I should qualify. I understand that my best, although not cheapest course of action would be to hire a professional to do all the ground work and sort out all the legal side, but I'm finding the information to all this somewhat difficult to obtain or even know which questions to be asking and where to look.

I hope this doesn't seem as vague as I'm making it out to be, I could just do with some pointers as to where I should be looking for information & the questions I need to be asking of both myself and a legal team. Any guides/pointers/advice would be greatfully welcomed!

Hi Shabab,
Please could you tell me what employement reference letters mean?! I think that it is a silly question, but please try to help me without laughing at me!!!
Do you also mean that one needs such letters from each employer within the last 10 years?!
Warm Wishes,
Hammadsanaa

Hi Ammadsanaa

our friend Shahab is right!! You must send your current employer's reference letter and at least the last two (if you have been moving from one job to another so often) if you don't just send one.

So please do not thing that everyone is laughing on you, I could say that everyone on this forum is trying to help, much people actuallly are or used to be in the same point as you are now.

Regards,
Eduardo
