what is the story about emigrating?

originally I was thinking about getting sponsored bya Police force but they seem to have stopped this practise now. And getting a permanent residence visa is about as easy as sass selection. So can anyone give me any advice?

Perhaps if you said where you want to emigrate to?

**ad55** · 21-09-2011, 00:30

Ontario or Alberta seems like the places to go

You're not thinking of coming here are you?

No sparky, THERE Scottish accent has morphed in to the pleasant tones of
"aboot"
and
"aye"

Not "Och eye the Gnus"

Although, strangely enough, I am told the Canadiands do have Gnu's, that they call Moose (Not to be confused with a Scottish Mouse which is MUCH smaller and less likely to kill you in a crash)

Immigrate to Canada

Start with the above Canadian Gov link .... Do you have something to offer them is your first question to yourself as no doubt they'll be asking you the same question .

What can you do there and where .... I'd suggest your research as much as possible in your chosen field of work and the living standards it could give you .

Make contact with future employers over there.

Make a plan of when it would feel right to make the move and chat with the family about it , if your single well it's more simple obviously .

Lastly search Expat forum for more hints !
