Immigration to Canada :) In Love?

Post by Sunriserr » Sun Aug 23, 2009 5:42 pm

Hi,

I've met a Canadian girl through online dating (big sigh), anyway, we have been talking for some time and plan to meet up later in the year and she is planning to come over to see me in the UK. It's all whirlwind at the moment without much thought the thousands of miles that seperate us.

You can probably see where this is going. I have a good job in the UK, in Sales for an IT Company, no debts, and my mortgage is paid, so could act as a source of income e.g. $1,000 + dollars a month (as a stop gap or interim measure). I also have a number of small investments totalling $20,000, so am reasonable solvent. Im in my early 30's too, good health etc.

As im in Sales, albeit as an account manager I don't seem to quality under the skilled workers scheme. Any thoughts?

Therefore if i we did want to be together (this is hypothetical), then I presume I would have to either get an offer of a job in Canada directly or through work, or get married to her either in Canada or the UK, she would sponsor me. I would live in Canada until the sponsorship program is over (could i work?), and then it's happy days?

I think its unlikely that she would come to the UK as she has kids from a previous relationship.

To confirm I have a degree, been in full time education and employment for a considerable period of time etc.

She lives in Ontario if that helps as I know some states have a need for workers at the moment, although she may be prepared to move if it helps us be together, just a thought anyway.

Anyway, I wondered what your thoughts were on this.

I know its hypothetical but before I invest anymore of me in this relationship, i wanted to be sure there was a potential happy ending :)

Love is never simple is it.

Thanks

Congratulations mate, i am pleased for you.

I can tell you are very much excited, but perhaps you two might need to meet and discuss things, and see what kind of future you envisage.

If you want to relocate to Canada, there are lots of options open to you. Your degree, age and work experience will all award you points on the skilled migrant program. If she is very keen , as you, which i hope she will, she can also get married to you, and get you a residency through that.


If she choose to come to the UK, there are options for her too. You can sponsor her or if she meet the requirements for the HSMP, she can come and see how things go with your relationship.

There could be a potential, happy ending, but you have to meet up first.

A friend of mine met some one from Australia, and they have moved over and settled there.

I hope it all work out well for you and that you have indeed found your other half and true happiness.

Once you have decided on your future, i will be delighted to provide you information on Canada and UK migration options anytime.


Regards
