Thank you all for the detailed information!

I'm working in the UK (having trained here as well, worked for 2 years) and starting the process of moving abroad.
I am planning on moving to canada however only for a year or 2 on a working holiday visa to confirm that I want to move for good.
I have close family in Vancover so would be heading there.

Based on the above threads I'm thinking this seems like a crazy plan as it seems to take 1-2 years to sort all the paperwork out,
I've liaised with my uni and all the paperwork for creditials is sorted out and ready to send off.... but have a few concerns that maybe someone could help me out with.

I'm just wondering what the actual job situation is like in Canada as it's a bit scary to do all this work and give up a job over here for the unknown.
Once you have compleated the first step am I correct in thinking that if you book onto the first avaliable exams you then can apply for temporary registration within the province you wish to work in.
From there you can apply for jobs as long as your boss/colleague agrees to supervise you until you pass the exams and then apply for permenant registration.
Is this something that realistically happens or do you have to wait until you pass the exams and gain full registration?

I know most job contracts are for 1 year. Is this limited to a certain time such as start of the financial year or can it depend.
One option I was considering as I have few ties would be a short term contract over a winter season at a resort. Does anyone know much about these private contracts
and again realistically the chances of employment.

I realise that these questions are verging away from the topic of the thread but any help would be appreciated, as I don't want to start the process until I am more aware of the next stages involved.
Thank you!!
