Hi.. New to forum,
In 2008 I managed to attain Canadian Permanent Residence for my wife and I under the skilled worker classification only to be trounced at the last moment by family issues which, unfortunately prevented us from landing and registering before it elapsed.
Due to difficulties in getting the visas in the first instance and the constraints of them being issued we only had seven weeks to get gone. We missed the boat, literally, and when attempting to re-apply found that my skilled worker category had been wiped off the entry criteria and was no longer eligible.
Gutted is the only word to describe the feeling, having dealt with the process personally before I was willing to go through the process once more to try and acheive the goal but fell foul at every hurdle. I know it's not the case but just in June 2008 we were viable prospects to Canada and in August 2008 we were deemed worthless.
Like many of you Canada has become a more than a dream or escape it is a passion that fills every part of you, success or failure is not the issue, it is where you succeed or fail that matters and it matters to be a part of Canada.
We still spend every moment in British Columbia that our current lives can afford us but it is not like being part of it.
It was certainly a depressing thought to realise that after three and a half years of adherance and persuance of the Canadian Immigration application process I was no longer worthy so asked the advice of a professional who more or less told me the same.
If any of you know of a Canadian Immigration Consultant out there that you think can help I would be pleased to hear from you. I will never consider it a lost cause.
