Getting kids into schools in Canada

[LindaDoyle]

In my words........Get A Life!!!!!

My experience is as I wrote above, if you both want to turn this forum into a debate then count me out. I've better things to do with my time.

Good luck to the original poster of this thread! You will need it if people like this keep putting in their tuppence worth.

For what it's worth, there will be no problem with you enrolling your kids, and as I've said, in Winnipeg you must produce your paperwork. Best of luck.

Thanks to everyone that's replied or contributed to my thread.Really appreciate all your efforts. Thay have been very informative . I'm thinking of Calgary as I have family there already or Manitoba, as I also have family there. It's certainly encouraging to know that children's education is taken seriously and supported. It's the sign of a good society/ governemnt.

Hope this helps.

Hi Linda, what's the IMO? I'm not sure I heard of it before.thanks a mill.

Hi Recee
We moved from Ireland three years ago with two kids on a Imo and placing your kids in school was relatively easy as long as you have their reports from previous schools a baptism cert if you are putting them in catholic school you should be good to go. We moved to Ontario I don't know where you are going but it was pretty easy transition. The school are excellent and the teacher pupil ratio is pretty good. It was the best move weve made . Let me know if you have other questions. Mum of 8,6 and 6 months old. good luck

Thanks Aoibhinn, could you please explain what the Imo is? I'm not sure I understand the process for it.

Hi Recee
LMO stands for Labour Market Opinion. There is lots of information on this forum about obtaining work permit after approved LMO has been obtained. If you search the threads you will find lots of good solid advice and info there. Good luck.

Hi Recee

Lmo is labour market opinion
As an employer, you must apply for a Labour Market Opinion (LMO) before you can hire a foreign worker or get pre-approval to hire a large number of workers.

A positive Labour Market Opinion will show that there is a need for the foreign worker to fill the job you offer and that there is no Canadian worker available to do the job.

Bring all reports from previous school and they will have a good idea what level your child is at, your child will be put into the grade he/she should be in by age. My two sobs went straight into elementary school from Ireland to here, one boy aged 9 went into grade five and other boy aged 5 went into kindergarten. The schooling here is excellent on my own opinion. Good luck.
