More Canada research

I've been spending all my spare time on the British expats site researching our options and reading of others experiences with work permits, immigration consultants, the provincial nomination process, jobs etc etc.. It really is such an informative site and a 'must read' for anyone thinking of immigrating anywhere. We are thinking of employing someone to help Gman get a job, and to speed up the process, an immigration consultant as well. There is just so much detailed paperwork to complete and documents to gather once underway. I am not very confident of going DIY, because if I do make a mistake then the major setback is in time. A consultant will ensure that we get it right first time and the expats site will help us to decide which consultants to go for based on others experiences and recommendations. I'll then post my experiences to newcomers on the forum as others have done for my benefit. There are sharks out there that will just be after our money for as little effort as possible so without a site like this, consultants are unknown entities

We've been busy in other ways too.

We met up with friends from Germany with The Ace Cafe as the rendezvous, then during half term last week we went to see Hot fuzz with Gteen and Gadgetgirlie went iceskating at The Guildford Spectrum with friends.

We had a dinner party on Saturday so the day was spent tidying up, hoovering and cooking. Gman decided that he was better off leaving me to it so got on with another of the 'to do' jobs in the back garden. We had a lovely evening with friends and must do that more often - keeps the house tidier...
