    Default U.S. Citizen Desiring Canadian Citizenship

    First, I'm aware this forum is for U.S.-bound immigrants, however, I'm hoping someone has some basic knowledge concerning the Canadian system. I've been researching and looking into living in Canada for 15 years, and I feel this is the time to do it, even though I have the least amount of money to my name as ever (but I have more education, certifications and work experience than I did ten years ago).

    I'm 36, single, no kids, BA degree, Red Cross certified and have all qualifications to be a live in caregiver. I'm also a personal trainer, lifeguard and emergency responder. When I first did my reading about Canadian residency and work permits it looked as if you basically needed to be a rocket scientist or brain surgeon to be considered. Now it appears they are looking for people able to help a nation with an aging population (caregivers, physical therapy aides, recreation leaders, senior exercise specialists, etc) and no longer does this require 12 years of school and a quarter million dollars to get in.

    My hesitation is about who to trust, as each site says something a little different, and the ones wanting money I don't waste my time with. I need to know where to start - what is my first step now, since I have not applied for anything yet. I did the points calculation, and I qualify. Now what? I want this process to go as smoothly as possible so I don't end up unprepared.

    Any advice? Please let me know!

    This board only deals with US law, which is why you don't see information on immigrating to Canada or the UK or anywhere else.
    Your best bet is probably with a Canadian immigration lawyer not some "web site."

    When you called the Canadian consulate or embassy, what did they say?
