Right now there's a very active hashtag going around called #Megxit. It relates to Meghan Markel and Prince Harry and their rumored move to Canada and departure from the royal family. I've given some interviews about #Megxit and spoken about it quite frequently.

What's realistic? You don't have to be a prince or princess to come to Canada. There are lots of ways to move to Canada if you're a British citizen. If you're concerned about what is happening with Brexit and some of the instability that may arise as a result of the transition. People are looking to Canada for stable economic investment opportunities and future growth for their families and their businesses due to Brexit.

We will also be talking about Americans and some of their opportunities to move to Canada. Some Americans are considering becoming expats in Canada as the elections get more heated in the United States, and want to move their families and businesses to a country where they can grow their business.

Some of the ways Americans and UK residents can move to Canada that we'll talk about include:

  • IEC: International Experience Class for people who have finished University and so are looking for that first career job or they want to have international work experience
  • CETA Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement that Canada has with Europe o facilitate entry for business professionals
  • Intercompany transfers
  • LMIA Labour Market Impact Assessment work permits and exemptions
  • Global Talent Stream
  • Tech immigrants and programs
  • Express Entry
  • Entrepreneur and business immigration
  • Temporary Work Permits
  • Permanent Residence
  • Self-employed expats

We have been in the mining business for over 45 years. We are always faced with moving technical people to projects all over the world.

This has always been a BIG UNCERTAINTY and COSTLY HASSLE until we happened on Evelyn at Ackah Law.

Their knowledge and speed were like a ray of sunshine. All we had to do was provide the information requested by them on each technical person and they took care of the rest with lightening speed and cost certainty.

They are simply "THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS"
