For those UK citizens that are looking to emigrate Canada is opening its doors

Canada has just launched an ambitious initiative to recruit fifty thousand foreign workers over the next year.  Officials in Canada believe that their stable economy and excellent services for the public will help to lure in those currently unsatisfied with their environment.  Britain is one of Canada's top targets as the quality of their education system and health care are degrading. 

 The Minister of Employment and Immigration in Alberta, Hector Goudreau, is currently overseas trying to rally up those who might be willing to immigrate to Canada.  A visa that can be fast tracked is being offered to those who meet certain skill requirements.

 Goudreau has been traveling in London said "Somebody from London might be able to sell their small flat and come to Alberta where they can buy a detached house with a huge back yard and huge front yard for the same amount.  He also stated "The cost of living is considerably less than in the UK.  Our salaries are comparable or even higher, so anyone who moves over would be able to make money and set some aside."

Another thing that may help to lure Britons to Canda is the scenic landscape and a top notch health care system which is available to everyone.  

 Fears have arisen in the UK that this huge recruiting effort on behalf of the Canadian government will have an impact on their economy as it loses valuable skilled labor to Canada.
