Myself and hubby are selling everything and moving to Canada, the problem is we don't have a visa.
The "visa waiver" you refer to is only to enter Canada as a tourist - it should not be used as a settlement visa, meaning you cannot work, establish a business or volunteer (?) with that visa. Also, it might not be possible to simply go back to Ireland and get another six months - the immigration officers might view this as seeking to settle and refuse you entry.Bambii wrote:Hi Rockhal, thanks for the link will check this out.
JAJ, I know that we can go for six months without a visa and also we are free to purchase property within this time, If we have to we would come home every six months for a week or so until our visa's our sorted. I'm just trying to find out which visa we should apply for and are their any other routes available (Probably not), but no harm in asking. We are determined to live in Canada and will do anything to make this happen one way or another.

To the original poster - we're thinking of doing a similar thing, but going over on a visitors visa then getting a work permit while there. We've read posts where people have said they found it impossible to get a job before going over, then getting a temporary work permit - but it was much easier when they arrived in Canada. Maybe you'd want to try that route.

TRV - your remarks made me join this forum, so they did come across as being directed at all Irish people.
If you feel as though you've been discriminated against in Ireland, then I'm sorry. But it's unfair to take it out on the original poster. She was only asking for advice.
Mktsoi - there's good and bad people in every country. Irish immigrants were discriminated against for years - particularly in the UK and they still are by some people. So many of them probably have a good idea how you feel already.
And tens of thousands of legal immigrants in Ireland are not scrounging either. More like the scumbags that run Immigration and Justice in general are scrounging off us legal immigrants. Do you know that we have to wait almost two years for a Long Term Residency Application now (that's after being here for the requisit 5 years). It used to take 6 weeks. It's 3 years to wait for citizenship...and you can be denied if you've ever signed on for jobseekers allowance (even though you are legally entitled to after working for two years).Cath2008 wrote:T so it's not like she'd be scrounging off their government.
You sound very chauvinistic and arrogant. You have an unrealistically high opinion of Ireland. No wonder that the foreigners who keep that country running in spite of Ireland's gross lack of homegrown competence got sick of your attitude.Cath2008 wrote:TRV - You sound very bitter.
