Hi just saw your post on one of my many research projects on the net. My husband has also been offered a job with IMP to start in October and we are moving out as a family of 4. We have been registered with UK2Novascotia for 18 months or so now and they are really helpful so if you haven't already registered with them I would recommend them as they have lots of services you can make use of.

Can I ask what you think of the wages/cost of living ratio. It seems a scarily low income and I am not sure if a family of 4 could survive on such a low wage initially. I would get a job but for the first couple of months I would like to be home to settle my children into the area. Have you been given any advice on how people manage on the income?

Sorry I am not of any help on the landing issues but I am sure you will get some replies as the Canadians seem a very helpful lot!
