calling all british and canadians..!!!!.?
I am 18 year old student from Manila, Philippines. And I'm looking forward to migrate after i graduate (B.S. Information Technology) either U.K or Canada... I even picked my city choice... London(UK) or Toronto (Canada) doing DEEP researches, i concluded myself that it's CANADA. however, i get confused since i start hearing bad thoughts/idea/news about canada's employment. Like here in Canadian embassy in the Philippines, they say Nurses, Caregivers, etc. are "in-demand" in Canada, however there are certain news that depicts jobless migrants in Canada, would it be true? I'm quite bothered, as i started embracing all of Canada, from history,anything about it. please help me, but don't be biased. As an alternative, i'm looking forward to London, however, despite of its big equivalence in to peso, it's the 2nd most expensive city in the world. (next to Moscow). And i promise myself, if i were to live in U.K i'll be in London(any part of part of London) only. And they say high salary in London,hence high taxes, so its just the same. please help! please help. for canadians or british out there.

Actually both things you heard are true but if you are well educated it won't be a problem. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp

I believe it would be best for you to move here as a foreign student and graduate from one of our schools. Yes we have many qualified citizen here who can not work because their diplomas are not recognized here. I know a dentist from India who works in sales, a journalist from Lebanon who drives taxis and a young woman cleaning house even though she has a master degree in Accounting. Be aware of all the facts before leaving your life behind.

There is a lack of skilled labour in many areas. However, there are a lot of restrictions on international qualifications. Many professionals (even from the US), have to go through requalification/ retraining. Some specialists have to practically go through all of their schooling. This is a major problem in the health industry. If you want to move to Canada, double check on what is recognized, or how to get your qualifications recognized. Try checking with the professional associations for your profession. They will probably have resources or be able to point you in the right direction.
