Hello readers,

I am a 20 year old male who has lived in the UK for my whole life.

I recently met someone from Canada (female) who was in England on a university exchange year. We had been together for 8 months throughout university and recently she had to go back to Canada. Which was heartbreaking for me.

It is because of this I have decided to move to Canada.

BUT - without marriage etc is it possible to live in Canada and work.

Any info appreciated.

It is far simpler from the UK to live and work in Canada, please visit Canada immigration - Information on immigration to Canada (http://www.immigration.ca) to find your starting point.

The above is not quite correct, the link is for an immigration lawyer, they won't give the correct information cause they want you to hire them to work for you (and they get paid even if you get rejected), check the real government of Canada website below. Also there is no special treatment for applicants from the UK when applying for permanent residence.

One can not simply decide to move to a new country. You have to apply based on your situation. If you are trained in a specific trade, apply under the Skilled Worker Class. If you were to get married she could sponsor you to become a permanent resident (Family Class). But there is no special provision to allow someone to enter Canada (legally) simply because they want to.

If you have any more specific questions I can help out, I worked for Canada Customs and Immigration for 6 years.

Ok,
I have a Bsc major degree in geography and want to apply to work as a police officer in Canada.

Do I not class as skilled?
