Hi, I am currently working for the British Army in Germany. I will be leaving the Army on 11 Dec after 26 fantastic years of service and I hope to move to Canada with my family. We would like to settle in Golden, BC but everything is work dependent and so we would welcome any useful advice on job hunting and immigration

I served there myself, dortmund, soest and osnabruck. Great times.

Ok, what can you do? What skills do you have that are not only transferable to civilian life, but canada. Forget Management, it will not get you there...canadians want to be managers. Once you get there, it is likely that you practical management experience will be recognised, but you have to get there first and be sponsored by an employer. You will know that FSW1 has been suspended, so you will be looking for TWP (employment arranged by a canadian) then PNP or FSW2. So, the million dollar question: What can you do?
