Your advice/suggestions on living and working in the UK

Hi Everybody!

First time on here. Looking to move to London soon. Just wanted to know if anyone here knew any recruitment agencies that helped Canadians move to the UK. I tried searching the forum, but I couldn't come up with anything solid.

It would help if the agencies were Rec2Rec, as I would like to get into the recruitment industry myself. Although I've heard many 'not-so-nice-things' about recruitment companies and the consultants, it's just something I'd like to try, and London seems like the ideal place for that. But I suppose that's a topic for another time/thread.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!

I'm planning to move to England in the summer 2011 to finally be with my boyfriend. Since I am 34 years old, obtaining a work visa is almost impossible without a sponsor. I am a certified teacher in Canada. So, my question is this...what do I need to do to be able to volunteer in a school in England? I thought about bringing over criminal record and child abuse check papers with me. What else would I need to do/bring over with me so that I can volunteer (in hopes of eventually finding a work sponsor)?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

If Scotland becomes independent will it become more difficult to work there as a Canadian?
