wow such negativity! thanks for your comments but from what i've heard recently, the outlook still remains positive on the whole, and I've spoken to the governmental department for New Brunswick / Nova Scotia and they've confirmed that IT is still one of the major industries in these two provinces. ...

i'm pretty sure it can be - for example, we don't get enough points without a job offer so we need for my fiance to (1) find someone who will sponsor him, (2) get an LMO (labour market opinion - confirms your job offer has been accepted), (3) get a temporary work visa so he can start his job and the...

Thank you for your reassuring comments, Willy :-) We're not looking to go until next year at some point, so I'm not really sure when we should hire someone (we don't know how long it'll take for my fiance to get a job offer).

Not heard that, although the arrogant man I spoke to at VISA PLUS yesterday did say it's more like 5 years now and he also tried to convince me that 40% of people who achieve at least 67 points are being turned away because of the huge influx of Brits trying to get into Canada. I subsequently spoke ...

Why are you trying to discourage immigration to Canada?? Anyone on this forum already knows they want to go there and are unlikely to be put off by an obviously defamatory website!

Nice try though :roll:

Hi, we're in a similar situation - wanting to emigrate but not chosen a consultant yet. According to the Canadian High Commission (on their website), going with a consultant / lawyer does not improve your chances of getting your visa in so much as they get no favours, however they do at least ensure...

You'll be pleased to hear those reports are untrue! I spoke to an experienced, well-reputed immigration consultant last night and he assured me there are no plans at the moment to change the current points threshold. Good news, considering it's only been a few years since the 67 points mark came in!...

IMMIGRATION CONSULTANTS - ONES TO AVOID

I've just come off the phone from "VisaPlus" (www.anewlifeabroad.co.uk) and am almost in tears. The receptionist was quite off with me and when I finally got put through to someone (Graham) he was unbelievably arrogant and unprofessional. I said I knew we couldn't get in without a job offe...
