You should contact the nearest Canadian embassy or consulate. You can also see www.cic.gc.ca the website of Citizenship and Immigration Canada for more information on immigrating to Canada. You should also check out the requirements of being licensed as a nurse here in the province where you will be residing. If you do a google search, you should be able to find the nearest nurses association and regulatory college. A great website on moving to the province of Ontario is www.settlement.org. I hope that this helps! Good luck on everything.

Maria is not on her "high horse". She is being blunt, but accurate. What you are proposing to do is come to Canada "pretending" to be a tourist. Then you choose to just stay and work. That is indeed illegal. UK tourists are allowed to come to Canada without a visa for up to six months, after which you are expected to leave the country. While in Canada, you are not allowed to work unless you have obtained a Working Holiday Visa or a Temporary Work Visa. If you chose to come to Canada using a "temporary resident visa" (tourist visa) and overstay your allotted time, you are considered to be in the country illegally, and the moment you are discovered, you will be deported back to your place of origin and barred from re-entry to Canada for at least five years. You would not be able to get a job in Canada because all employers will expect you to provide a social insurance number (SIN) when hired, which they use to notify the government about how much money they are paying you for income tax purposes. If you don't have a SIN, they won't hire you. The only people who would hire you is someone looking to get a job done "under the table" (undeclared). They might do this in order to be able to pay you less than minimum wage or to not have to pay medical benefits or other taxes or fees. That means you end up doing babysitting, housecleaning, gardening, or stuff like that. And you have no recourse if you get hurt on the job, or even if they decide after you did the work that they won't pay you at all. So while you consider that some people may be giving you a "snotty" reply, we view people who propose what you proposed as ignorant and insulting to those who are waiting two years to get a chance at coming to Canada to live and work here through the PROPER channels. How do you feel when someone butts into the line ahead of you at the movies, a checkout counter, or ordering at a coffeeshop? Same type of thing, except it's not about paying for my loaf of bread, but someone's future life and career. EDIT: No worries, dear. No offense taken. Just wanted you to realize why some people were indignant at your question. And you can ignore the ones asking you if you were American or Mexican. If you saw some of the nasty things these trolls were saying in other questions, you'd totally let it not worry you.

go to the Canadian embassy in England and ask for immigration papers you may need a sponser and i guess your girlfriend could sponsor you. or you could get a visitors visa from the Canadian Embassy in England then come here as a visitor but you will need an invitation letter from someone in canada.

This might sound complicated to you but here's what you do. Pack all your stuff up ... Get a moving truck ... Get in ... Drive to Canada ... Stop at your place ... Unpack your stuff ... BAM! You're done ... It's that easy my man ;)
