Cheers colin, there is so much info out there it is easy to get lost in it all. Was your granddaughter a UK cop before moving out? If so, did she become a Canadian resident before applying to the force? It appears to me that most of the police forces in Canada require you to be a resident before you can apply. This is obviously a problem as I have no intention of moving a young family accross the water if I don't have a job offer first. It appears to be a catch 22.
