Recreational instruction a potential for immigration?

[Ctec]

Hi,

I was hoping someone may be able to answer a few questions I have about migrating to Canada. Basically I am an working in the UK as an IT technician at the moment, however I am looking to move out of the industry and in to a more outdoors role.

I am currently working on gaining qualifications in instructing kayaking (Hopefully up to whitewater levels) and getting snowboard instructor credentials up to level two.

My question is would Canada (presuming I have the points) accept me If I were just doing seasonal work? I have seen that recreational sports instructors are on the list as being recognized as required but Im aware you generally need a permanent job offer which is not possible due to the nature of these hobbies.

Failing this, does anyone have any ideas on year round work I could look at that could keep me in the outdoors that may also be on Canada's list of acceptable jobs for immigration?

Province I was looking at was BC

Many Thanks

Why don't you migrate as an IT technician and then switch over to the outdoors job once you're here? That's certainly one option.

My husband and I did a week of fantastic sea kayaking off Vancouver Island a few years ago. Beautiful part of the country...

I suppose that is an option, do you not need to remain in the industry for a particular length of time?

Yes I have been looking at all the sea Kayaking round those parts. It seems like its situated in the perfect spot Vancouver.

No - you don't need to remain in the industry for a particular length of time. You can do whatever you want once you arrive.
