Work Permit question for skilled worker

[chaddsuk]

Hey guys

I am thinking of coming to Canada to work as a Technical Support Agent at some point next year, I have a wife and two children, this is what I am planning...

I would like to come to Canada (from the UK) in order to secure a job offer, at that point I am likely to return to the UK until my work permit comes through.

Once my permit has come through i plan to return to Canada with my family to live and work in Canada (not looking to immigrate just yet, just for me and my family to work and live in Canada).

Does this sound like a plan?...are there any potential issues that we may have?..we dont need a Visa of course as we are from the UK.

Also will my children be able to attend school in Canada i asssume?..one child is 12 months and the other is 11...Please let me know if im missing something stupid thats going to cause me issues

Cheers

Chris

Sounds good. If you think you might want to immigrate, you might as well look into provincial nominee since it's much faster than applying for a regular skilled worker PR. You can include your family in your work permit application so they can join you right away, you can apply for an open work permit for your wife while yours is tied to the employer. When you are on a work permit, there should be no problem enrolling your kids in school.
