There is really no point in applying until you have your accountancy degree and have worked as a fully fledged accountant for the required number of hours.
you should immerse yourself in the CIC website for all the information and requirements.

You have a while to go before you will have what is required and by then your requirements and qualifications could change , why do you not look into a sponsoship from your relatives ? The forms are quite daunting with a gazillion of questions , just going through that myself .

What ever happens , good luck and have yourselves a very MERRY CHRISTMAS

It's highly unlikely that an aunt/uncle would be permitted to sponsor a nephew/niece.

Hi, is the sponsorship route easier/quicker? Could i move while still studying my degree or do i still need to do a points test? Would be moving with about 50k in the bank too, if that makes a difference

How the hell are you supposed to get in there? If only this countries immigration was that strict, i probably wouldnt wanna move It seems to me that it doesnt matter what you do unless your minted or mensa nobody wants you?? Why cant i just fly out there rent a house a find a job? Why all the red tape and paperwork? You dont have the hassle going to the states, why is this? Im not impatient, i just dont understand it.

Immigration to Canada is not realy that strict , but things have tightened up to help prevent a second UK , 60% of last years immigrants were Asian and most likely a high % on sponsorships/education visas .

You could fly on a visitors visa and do a job search , who knows , could even get a working sponsorship , stranger things have happened .

The only problem is i have kids, so need some security/stability, and a worker visa can expire and then im homeless? Its a shame i have come to the conclusion of leaving the homeland but its not just the asians, its the government screwing me, and all the other stupid things here, its just bugging me been here, and i love canada cos its such a beautiful place, and the canadians ive met are lovely

It is difficult getting into Canada but even MORE difficult emigrating to the USA.
The UK is now reaping the results of its 17th, 18th and 19th centuries of colonising much of the world and, of course, becoming a member of the EU.
Canada, Australia, NZ and USA must control their borders or they would be swamped with immigrants and not have sufficient available jobs for them, resulting in massive drains on their social welfare systems.
You are studying Accountancy and as I said previously, once you're qualified and have worked the required live hours, you could probably qualify for a PR visa as Accountants are on THE LIST. You should ensure, however, that the accounting qualification you get is acceptable to Canada because some are not.

I asked about the degree as thats the only reason im studying it and they said i might have to do a quick course in canada but should be accepted worldwide as all thhat really changes is the basic maths and not the principle thinking or method. I said a simple yes or no would of suffice I heard that British people dont need a visa for the U.S yet if you have a passport your in and you sort out the rest when your there? My friend has been there 5 years now?
