After a lot of discussing me and my family have decided we would like to move to Canada from England. (Me, my husband and our two children aged 16 and 12). The only problem is neither me or my husband have Uni degrees and only have NVQ's which I think is only recognized as a qualification in England. I'm currently at Level 3 which is equal to two or more A levels, BTEC Ordinary National Diploma (OND), City & Guilds Advanced Craft. I work as a Team Leader at a daycare center for adults with learning disabilities. I manage the staff along with a few other team leaders and our work is over seen by the daycare managers, I also arrange meetings, activities and work one on one with different service users as well as many other things. My husband is a carer at a elderly residential home. Is there any way me and my family could move to Canada (preferably permanently), thanks for your time and help, Ellie x I feel I should alsoadd I have 25+ years working in my field of work and 10 years of managering.
