I too am looking to transfer, I am currently serving in NSW Australia with 6 years experience. I am in the process of obtaining permanent residence as I have married a Canadian. We are planning to move to Vancouver at the end of next year.

I would be interested to hear from any Aussie or UK expats who were serving Police officers in Australia and moved to Canada to join? From what I have read I will have to start from scratch again though, which I am ok with. Vancouver is such a great city

Hi Matt I was a police officer in the uk and moved to Vancouver last year. At that point there was zero recruitment in the Vancouver police dept as they had staffed up for the Olympics and few had left. That may have changed but they has disbanded the recruitment team. To work for the RCMP you have to be a citizen. I left policing but if you email the vpd from their website you should get a reply and an update. Make sure to mention any specific skills or experience you have. I was just a beat bobbie. Good luck anyways it is a great city.
