How to dial a number from Canada to the UK?

I want to move to Canada at the age of 18, what number can i call in the UK to speak to someone about this?

• I'm not entirely sure who i want to be speaking to, but i want to move to Canada and want some information on if it's possible and how to do so, but not sure what number to call. Thank you.

• Answer:

  Generally embassies and consulates are reluctant to take calls. You can email the Canadian High Commission in the UK, but they're likely to just refer you back to their website. Which is labyrinthine. You need to figure out what visa categories you are eligible for - if you go on a tourist visa you will not be eligible to work. If you want a visa that allows you to work, you can either apply for a work visa or try to immigrate permanently (the first is easier - you could apply for a working holiday visa for example --> http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/united_kingdom-royaume_uni/experience_canada_experience/index.aspx). If you want to immigrate it's less straightforward - you can either study in Canada (and graduate) then work there for a year OR work there for 2 years and then apply. Or marry a Canadian...
