Hi All,
I am a 36 year old male, working in Banking as an IT Business Analyst here in London. I have 8 years of work experience with many global Banking Brands, but NONE of them are Canadian.
I am originally from India, but have studied and worked in UK for last 12 years.
My Wife is Nurse so getting canadian Residency wont be hard for us.
I really really want to move to Toronto.....Its open wide spaces and laid back lifestyle (compared to london UK) is extremely tempting !! I have visited Toronto Twice and loved it !
BUT....after reading this and so many other fourms and blogs I am getting skeptical if it is really worth spending so much money on Immigration process and then the ultimate move if foreign qualifications and experience are not recognized in canada.
I have heard nightmare stories where professionals with experience from top countries like UK and USA have not found jobs in their industry for years in Canada. Are Canadian employers that narrow minded to everyone or there are exceptions ???
I don't know if to listen to my mind or heart at this stage...mind says no, heart says lets go ahead and apply to immigrate.
I would like to hear more of your experiences, some advice would also be appreciated...I would like to make an informed decision at the end of the day, something that I won't regret if I look back 10 years from now.
