Not wanting to put a damper on anyones dreams, but after seeing a response to a friends request for assistance in solving a problem as a Temporary Foreign Worker in Canada via the British Government I feel that I should just re-iterate that until you actually have Permanent Residency you are on very shaky ground. Here's what the Canadian minister says in reply to a British MP...
" I can only say that, in general, temporary foreign workers only have status in Canada so long as they have an authorized job and the work permit which results from that. Unlike the United Kingdom, Canada admits thousands of people every year as permanent residents from the outset - that is, they apply for permanent residence in Canada while still in their home country and enter Canada for the first time with permanent residence status. Families who move to Canada with the object of taking up permanent residence on a basis of a temporary job and temporary status put themselves in a very risky position as there is certainly no guarantee that permanent residence will be granted. "
Once again, this is just a warning (to families) to make sure that you have a plan B ready.
I would like to say that Canada offers a great life to families, it does, BUT as a Temporary Foreign Worker you are exactly that... TEMPORARY, until you have the PR card.

surely if you have a "clean sheet" there shouldn't be a problem
Anon, if you think having a 'clean sheet' makes any difference to how you are treated, think again. The quote is from a Canadian Minister which re-iterates what I have been saying for years, yet people still think they are 'immigrating', when in fact they are just TFW's.
Hi Mick,
I think the main problem is how its sold in the UK. Expectations are raised to an impossible level, particularly to families. Also, PR is expensive for a family. This is often not made clear to the newly recruited drivers.
