My wife and I are considering emigrating to Canada from the UK, how easy is it and what do we need to do?
Answer:
It depends on how you want to apply for Permanent Resident (PR) status. If you want to immigrate as a skilled worker, you will have to meet the points requirement like everyone else. Being from the UK does not make it any easier or give you any special preference over those from other countries.
To see if you meet the points, take the self-assessment test here:

Good Luck!
Canada and England are under the same common wealth which will make immigrating from the UK to Canada relatively easy if you are a citizen of England.
You will need to contact your local Immigration office to find out what you need to do legally. Give yourself six months for all of the paperwork to process.
I hope this helps
