before now

ive been researching this for weeks {actually months}so im not just going into this with my head in the clouds. i dont know how many forms ive filled out as practice,how many forums ive read, how many times ive read over the same pieces of info from the canadian govt

until today i thought i had to apply on a temporary work visa but now it seems i can apply as a federal skilled worker once ive secured an offer of work which has been approved by the canadian officials, normally application through a federal skilled worker programme is only available if your job description matches a job descirption on a list of 29!


so now myself & himself have to try to remember to keep all receipts etc for any transactions we make for our house... {our paperwork skills could be considered minimal!} to be able to prove that we live together & are in a committed relationship!

this is great as now we wont have to apply for seperate temporary work permits...

his emmigrating lark might be exciting but its bloody confusing!

the websites i've found really good are:

cic.gc.ca {government information}
workingincanada.gc.ca {less formal government information,up to date industry & employment reports}
expatforum.com {tips & hints from people who're living the dream!}


also i've found it really beneficial to find out how much my expenses are going to be once im over there, like food, phone, internet etc...the price of car insurance nearly gave me heart palpitations, im still coming to terms with the idea of not having a car of my own! {the little sacrifices!]
