Hi All,
I'm 23 and have been eager to move to Canada since finally visiting the country in 2007. Being young, I believe I stand a better chance of making a great career for myself as well as contributing to Canada positively - Britain just seems to be going down the pan.
Apologies for creating another newbie thread, but there is so much information about different rules and regulations etc, so I really don't even know where to start researching!
I currently work in Brighton, UK for US-owned clothes store Hollister. Having stores world wide means they are able to offer me a transfer to a store in Canada, should I wish to take it. (I have already spoken to staff at the Toronto store who are happy to take me should I wish to move over).
I also have a 2:1 degree in Music Production, National Diploma in Mechanical Engineering and decent GCSE's.
Here's come the questions and unknowns....
1) What type of visa do I need to apply for if I have a full-time job waiting for me in Canada?
2) How do I go about applying for these visas and does it cost me money?
3) Do my previous academic achievements help me to get a visa faster/easier?
4) How long does the visa last and do I need to renew it etc?
5) Is there anything i've missed that I should know?
Sorry for all the questions but I honestly don't know where else to look to find out any of this information without having to read hundreds of confusing websites.
Thanks
Graham
