Hi Louise,

I have joined the forum today after reading numerous threads. My name is Carl and I am from the UK. Myself and my parter (Adele) are very interested in moving to Canada. We have a daughter Jessica aged 1. Its hard to find a starting point as I have many questions, thoughts, worries etc. I have been researching heavily for several weeks now. I guess the current situation in the UK has prompted us to research into moving to Canada. In addition I have met some natives who have really sold me the idea.
I have researched the immigration process and eligibility required for working in Canada. I am currently in IT trainer but I have qualifications and experience in teaching/ vocational training. My partner is currently studying for a diploma in child care. We are currently looking at booking a trip over to Canada this year from May.
We are quite split on which place to move to. I like the idea of Calgary although Adele likes Toronto. We have recently both been quite interested in Nova Scotia.
We have found there are numerous positions available for childcare and early years.
I have read about job hunting and gaining a work permit but have also found peoples stories of them gaining employment whilst visiting Canada. Is this something that can be done?

At the moment I feel very strong towards moving to Canada as I feel it's the right time. If I don't do it now I won't do it anytime.
So thats a little introduction for now I will post many questions over time.

Thanks

Carl
