Low and behold, he got several offers for jobs in various provinces across Canada (and a few in the States as well). When he accepted the job in Alberta, the immigration process began with a Labour Market Opinion (LMO). His employer did not have the faintest idea of what was involved in this process, so out of necessity, Tim self-educated on the process then informed the employer of the necessary steps.
From the books we read, the immigration process seemed very straight forward, albeit a bit of hoop jumping. We quickly realized that the process is all but straight forward when you are going through the process without a lawyer, especially since we did not have the support of the employer--financially or logistically. Week after week, month after month of telling our friends and family in the States about the latest immigration-related challenge, they told us we should write a book about our experiences to help other potential immigrants to Canada. So here we are, writing "Moving to Canada, Eh?" and are currently searching for a literary agent to help us through the publishing process.
We continue to search for immigration-related stories to add to the depth of our book, if you have one (or many) that you would like to share, please post them or email them to me!
