To adnan_hsn and rupeshhari - I respect your opinions (after all that is democracy) but I resent any implication that immigrants not on the 38 list are coming over there to claim state benefits. If I wanted to claim state benefits, I would stay in my home country (UK) where people expect the...

I know what you're saying Leon, and you probably don't mean it in a nasty way. But I do believe that you cannot just 'box' people in into 38 tidy little packages and tell everyone else to sod off. Yes I know what you mean about a reality check, but then there are loads of other jobs us...

I really couldn't tell Mila - he might not be able to do it because as you rightly said, he has never employed anyone. Since the company has a name, I don't know if he himself would count as an employee of the company. Probably not, but can only wait and see. It's tough times for us not on the...

What will happen to all the clients who no longer qualify because they are not on the 38 list? I can't see this being good for business. I hasten to add I am not currently using lawyer, but I think there are going to be headaches and heart aches all round.

KGB, if the Liberals do win, how can we petition for them to revoke this unjust law? Do they have a website or e-mail address we can write to? Or alternatively what if the new rules could just be made more fair by: a) ok, let's expedite the people on the 38 list AND b) add more staff and make...

Thanks Leon :-)

Option 2. Without any doubt. I am happy for the people on the 38 list, don't get me wrong - but it seems cruel to write off all those other people who are just as deserving but happen to have slightly different professions. Yes I know the list of 38 is the most needed professions in Canada, but...

Don't feel disheartened. Try looking for secretary jobs online, post your CV on job search engines, ask any friends or relatives in Canada to network for you. All you need is an AEO which is not binding to the employer anyway so you never know, it could still work out. I am trying to get an AEO...

Thanks guys, I will let my friend know and see if he can get it done. Keep your fingers crossed for me!! Incidentally if anyone has any info about my second question, i.e. if I were to go as a student, would my husband be able to work? then I would appreciate it too (although to be honest...

Hi guys, so good new for some and bad news for others. News not good for me unfortunately, as I am not on list of 38 (something I already suspected even before they posted the list). My canadian friend is racking his brain to see how to get me AEO; he has a small business installing security...

Guys, I went to the last expo. One word of advice - go EARLY. The queues are something unbelievable. I didn't find any jobs there I could apply for but that doesn't mean you might not have more luck. The employers recruiting there were mostly from oil industries and medical field. Bear in mind...

Thanks Leon. Unfortunately I am 37 so BUNAC is out of the question...at the moment applying for jobs from the UK seems like a waste of time. I applied for PR in London last April 08 so now am at mercy of the "Fantastic 38" list which I am already practically sure I'm not on :-( Do you think I...

Following on from Tia's question...does anybody know who these fee charging job agencies are?

I too am an applicant from the UK and I too had (obviously wrongly!) assumed that due to the good, strong ties between UK and Canada, what with both countries belonging to the Commonwealth and OUR British monarch being on the Canadian dollar bills, they would try to be a bit more welcoming! I...

Thanks guys for the info and suggestions. My Canadian friend is only just starting up his business so I don't think he would be able to file the paperwork suggested for the AEO as he hasn't paid any remuneration to anyone last year. He's still working for an employer himself but doing more...

Hi guys, Hello from rainy old England. I am new to this site, so please bear with me if my questions have been answered before. Hubby and I applied for PR last April 08 (not fully realizing rules had changed) as we scored about 72 in the initial assessment under the skilled worker catagory...
