prettymogli   10 #1 Posted October 3, 2011 Me and partner are planning to move to Canada or New Zealand as we cannot extend our UK visa. Can anyone recommend a nice agent or counsellor who can help us with application of visa.  As I have contacted many through the net and telephone in London and other parts but most of them turn out to be a scam.  Any help will me appreciated.

donuticus   10 #2 Posted October 3, 2011 The only way to guarantee you aren't likely to be scammed is to go directly through the embassy of the country you're emigrating too.  I think both Canada and New Zealand require you to have employment offers before they will consider your application for residency.

andygardener   10 #3 Posted October 3, 2011 If you can't legally stay in the UK you've more chance of platting fog that getting into either Canada or New Zealand. (unless you have special required skills or a serious ammount of money that you are prepared to invest in employment generating business and they will want it in a secure account up front.)

andygardener   10 #5 Posted October 3, 2011 I fall under the skilled category.  Then you don't need an agent.  Just apply directly to your chosen country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Bulgarian   10 #7 Posted October 4, 2011 I think both Canada and New Zealand require you to have employment offers before they will consider your application for residency.  Canada doesn't, but you do have to have "required skills" and enough money to support yourself.  Also, it costs a small fortune to go through the visa process.

Bulgarian   10 #11 Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) There is an online "test" for Canada that can give you a rough yes/no.  http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assess/index.asp  also, it's not a quick process  http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/skilled-fed.asp  and it will cost you quite a bit, especially if you hire a lawyer to handle the application for you, which I did.  I think there is also a limit to how many people they let in from each country.
