We finally have made it out to beautiful BC and are living in Victoria. For us, the process took a long 4 years for our Permanent Residency visas to come through, we even had our daughter whilst waiting for the process to go through, but thankfully it was easy for us to add her onto the paper work. The most difficult thing for me was leaving a perfectly good job. The thought of carting my family to the other side of the world with no jobs to go to and not a huge amount of money scared me. When we got to Canada to validate our visas, my wife contacted a few people to speak to about how the job market is, and ended up getting an offer of employment. That made it a lot easier. Once we got back, we put the house on the market and sold up within 2 months. We arrived in January this year. My wife didn't get the job she was offered, but that's another story. Thankfully, I managed to find a brilliant job, daycare (nursery) for my daughter, and now feel well settled. My wife has found employment too, so it's all worked out. I have no regrets about moving to Canada, and sometimes you need to do these things, make your own luck and control your destiny! I couldn’t agree more!
