My husband is leaving HM Forces in March 2010 and it is our intention to settle in Canada

We have been advised the best route to do this is obtain a work visa for him and visitor permits for the rest of the family.

Does anyone know of a reputable company who specialises in obtaining visas etc - there appear to loads of them out there.

    You don't need to deal with a company - you can apply direct to CIC and not need to pay for an expensive visa company :)

    Spend a good bit of time with your husband and look into the requirements for obtaining a work permit without needing a prior job offer as this will allow him to move there and live off savings whilst looking for work.

    I would also look at the points calculators on their and work out if you will both have enough points to obtain such a visa. It will take into account your age, education, language skills, savings and work experience.

    Best of luck, and post back if you have specific questions :)
