Young UK couple hopeful of Moving to Canada

[tclay31]

Hi all,



Myself and my partner after years of dreaming and three visits to Canada are finally ready to make it our home



We are from England, Sam is a primary school teacher and I am a Telecommunications engineer with a Fibre to the Home background.



We are wanting to know helpful advice on how to begin the process? What to do? How long does it take? What are the chances of success the first time of applying? How much money do we need to emigrate? Do we need a permanent position in a job before we get there?



That is only a few out of a million questions we have , but hopefully this forum can help us and put us in the right direction for the start of our journey to hopefully making Canada a home...



We are in the very early stages and looking for as much advice and help we can get!



Thanks



Tom and Samantha

Hi Tom and Samantha,

you should put your and tom's profile in the CRS calculator and check to see if you score above 470.

If you do, then you have a great chance of qualifying to come over to Canada.

That's the first step. All other steps follow.

Hello, fellow Brit here! Also if you're under 30 you should look into the IEC programme. You can get a 2 year work visa and then apply for PR after working in a skilled job for 1 year. That will really help with points

However one of the individuals is a teacher , they cannot just start applying and teach in Canada

You will have to contact each province to see if you are able to get licensed as a teacher there and whether that will require extra training. Canada tends to have a surplus of teachers so you old have to look at what areas may get you on a supply list with some potential of eventually getting a permanent teaching job. The one big exception is if you are a French teacher. There is a need for French teacher throughout Canada.
