Thinking about moving to Canada?

Question

What are some things that I should know before planning to move from the U.K. to Canada?

For instance:

The legal requirements I may need for moving abroad,
How to go about getting a job abroad (I'm hoping to work with children),
etc

Thanks in advance :)!

Answer 2

I only go there for weekends - never any longer.

Answer 3

When you get here there are a number of police programs in major cities that do information sessions about Canadian law for immigrants so you don't get in trouble when you get here. I know that's not your question, but it may be good when you get here.

Answer 4

If you choose to settle in the state of Quebec be aware that the official language is French and some of the population will not use English on principle. You will need private health insurance, they do not have reciprocal arrangements with the UK

Answer 5

Basically, you need to have a skill in demand. Can you do something a unemployed Canadian can't do? If not, it could be quite hard to come here.

However, there are few trained nannies here, and that might be a possibility.
