I’m am an electrical engineering student attending TN Tech University. Like anyone else I am thinking about my future after college and one thing I considered was possibly moving to the UK. A couple things made me consider this. I went to England last year my senior year of high school for choir and I absolutely, loved it, I had my 18th birthday there too. I’m also planning to study abroad for a semester next year in Scotland or England which will give me another idea about how I might like living there. Also, my main herritage is British. My Grandma is from Canada, and her mother immigrated from Britain years ago. I absolutely love the culture, and have been reading up on it a lot. Just a lot of stuff makes more sense, not that I don’t love the US either but.

Anyways, I guess what I’m really asking for is some opinions from maybe American’s who have moved there or from UK citizens. I know I’m only 19, but it’s never to early to think about your future.

Possibly emigrating to Canada in the future – suggestions?

Hi all.
I am 18 years old and live in the UK. I have unfortunetly been very ill for the last 3 or 4 years with Lyme disease – it’s a long story, but basically I was misdiagnosed for a long time, so the infection has spread and it is proving very difficult to eradicate. I should hopefully be better within the next 18 months or so though.
Now being ill all this time has enabled me to think clearly and plan my life out. I have decided that I would really like to emigrate to another country, Canada being my favourite. I have many reason for wanting to emigrating from the UK and I won’t go into details here.
Because I have been so ill, I have been unable to finish my education and have been learning at home.
I am not sure if I should stay here in the UK and finish my education, or move to Canada to study there, then live there as a citizen – I don’t know if that’s possible?
I am undecided which provice, etc. I would like to live in and would appreciate some suggestions.

I want to immigrate to Canada in the near future?

I want to immigrate to Canada in July 2011.
I am a British Citizen, do I still have to get a visa to immigrate?
And, how long does it take to get the whole visa stuff sorted out?
What must I do in order to get one?

Thanks.
Are there age restrictions for immigration and to get a visa? Also, how old must you be to travel on plane by yourself?
