Theres a trick.
If you apply outside Canada it can take YEARS.
However you are allowed to stay there a visitor for 6 months, THEN unlike the UK you can indefinately extend your stay in 6 month increments provided you can support yourself. Applying for landed immigrant status from within Canada actually only took me a month.
The easiest way to do it is go over a few months and leave the family. While you are there scout out jobs and housing, you'll score BIG points if you have a job waiting. If its a job you can prove you can do better than the locals then even better. A company can sponsor you as well if they wish but its a minefeild. Once you have landed status you can work on bringing the rest over (your children will automatically qualifiy as will your spouse), the problem is proving that you can support yourself over there untill your application is processed, hence leaving them over here for now :)

Yes, seemingly a large proportion of the British Police Force, such as PC Copperfield :wink: (barring those who have already been poched by Australia & New Zealand)
On a more serious note, SWMBO keeps mentioning it every so often :shock:
Then again, it's not too long since the company she now works for asked her (when she was still in the NHS & helping in the bidding process to negotiate a £300-million contract) if she wanted a job in their Dallas office!! :shock: :shock:
They offered (verbally, at that point) to cover re-location expenses
