Out of the 33 countries that have a youth mobility agreement with Canada, why is the UK the only country that does not have access to the Young Professionals Program? Seems a little unfair.

Thanks Scylla! :) Is is truly difficult to get one? This would not be a case of my employer just trying to "help me out", but it can be quite hard to recruit for this industry in Western Canada.

I previous job was as Decorative Arts Assistant (no idea of the noc?), and I was never given any kind of contract as it was all fairly informal. Small auction houses tend to be that way. How do I go about collecting the proof that I worked for them? A letter signed by the CEO? I was payed every...

How do they prove they did not find anyone suitable to do the job?

I've heard it takes a month and costs 1100 dollars in total. My employer wants to go ahead and keep me on. I'm also the Asian art specialist, and I imagine that would be a hard position to fill here. Not so much on the West Coast, but very much so here. I wish to know what kind of jobs they...

I currently work as a decorative arts cataloguer for an auction house, however my current work permit expires in 6 months. My job normally requires at least an MA in either History or history of art, or at the minimum a BA. Being based in Edmonton, Alberta, it is going to be hard for my...

I went and spoke to an immigration official today, and she informed me it was actually 12 months WORTH of full time work that is needed to qualify for CEC, and not 12 exact months. You have to have a minimum of 1560 hours of skilled work to apply, regardless of whether it was completed in 12...

How could I prove I lived with her at her mothers?

So I can apply for PR and continue to work at the same job? That would be wonderful! The only problem is is that my current work permit will be a few days away from being up by the time we have 12 months living together? I guess sending my application in one or two months early to be able to...

I'll have to get in touch with my previous employer :( What do I need to prove I worked for them full time? Just a signed letter?

Sounds like a good plan. Start collecting proof of your relationship now! Texts, facebook messages ect.

4 months without work? Wow! So I understand I can apply straight away, and I can keep it until a final decision is made?

So how is 12 months at 30 hours a week ok, but 9 at 50-55 hours is not? If true, I will have to get in touch with my previous employer.

I understand that an individual can apply for a conditional work permit if they are going through the inland sponsorship? Could anyone please let me know how quickly such a permit would arrive after applying? I'd like to continue in my current job. Regards :)

What if you don't have 12 months, but instead say 9 months at 50 hours a week? That is more than the required amount of hours. I believe is is 1550 hours of skilled work experience to qualify?

You are obviously up to no good, and no idea why you would want to spend 20k to just move to another country.

Thanks Canuck in the UK And yeah, definitely not a marriage of convenience. Was a bit of a hasty decision, all being honest, but I hope things should go smoothly.

And the language tests ect?

Hi, I have 14 months experience working as a University researcher here in Toronto, Canada. If I were to apply through CEC, what would be the total costs involved? I hear it can be close to 3k? Thanks

So why do people get refused? The only thing I am worried about is that we got married very quickly, and did not have a honeymoon. I'm worried they could think it to be some sort of fraud? I initially planned on getting my partner UK residency, but that would have been even harder. If I get...
