I would love to settle down and get a job in the UK, but I understand that the current economic climate has made it difficult for job-seekers. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how hard it is to find work in the UK right now and any suggestions for companies that usually hire foreigners. I know there are a lot of other topics discussing employment, but none have really answered my question.

If you have experience being recruited by any agency (for social work), could you share your experience with me? I'd really like to make the most informed decision. If you feel comfortable doing so, could you include any fees the company charged you, support services the offered, bonuses or incentives, etc. I really appreciate your insight!

We looked into bringing our dog over and realized it was way too much trouble (and she's quite old so not worth putting her through it all). Simplified... 1. Get a microchip 2. Rabies vaccine 3. Bloodwork sent to clinic for rabies testing/vaccine titer (this needs to be sent to a lab in the US, its the only one authorized by UK). We were told the cost would be around $250 (plus chip/vaccines) 4. Upon negative rabies test and titer, animal must remain in Canada for an additional 6 months. After this, can be brought into the UK with no quarantine. 5. Animal must be brought to the UK by one of a few authorized routes, they pretty much go from most large Canadian cities straight to London. Cost of this is $270CDN (plus paying for a proper kennel if need be, there are specifications about kennel size/type). 6. Prior to travel (24hrs I think) you need the dog to take some kind of worm medicine too I think. Can't remember what it was. Not sure the cost of that but I'm sure it was small compared to everything else. Its a very tricky process. <a href="http://www.canuckabroad.com/forums/bringing-my-dog-to-uk-vt7428.html"><b>more ...</b></a> <b>Statistics</b> : 1 Post || 156 Views Post by <b>jfleming</b> Canadians in the UK - News - Digest http://www.canuckabroad.com/forums/bringing-my-dog-to-uk-vt7428.html http://www.canuckabroad.com/forums/any-fellow-canucks-in-nw-england-vt7425.html Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:49:48 GMT <h5><a href="http://www.canuckabroad.com/forums/canadians-in-the-uk-vf10.html" title="Canadians in the UK">Canadians in the UK</a></h5> <b>Any fellow Canucks in NW England?</b> Ayah, me fellow Canadians!

I am told that my bank card may or may not work at some machines. Neither of the cards can be replaced while I am there so if they were lost I would be screwed. Traveler's checks seem unwieldy somehow. I am having a nightmare vision of wandering around London from machine to machine and having no way to draw cash, then getting robbed of my Mastercard and being stuck there for 5 weeks w/no money. Eek! I am going alone so I may be a bit paranoid.

I'm planning on moving to the UK soon, and its my first time even moving out of my parent's house (Big first time move, eh?) Anyways, I was wondering a few things...Being a Citizen, will i have many problems opening a bank account, with say Barclays, or would it still be advisable to go through Lloyds as I've seen on here? Also, seeing as its the first time living on my own, what am I to do if I have no references as per renting a flat? Will they still let me do it, or am I in trouble? Further, if I can't find a job initially, but am sitting on a whack of money that could sustain me for say 6-8 months, would they still let me rent?
