Accountant moving to Canada - visa time?
How long does it take to apply for a visa to Canada? I am British and looking to relocate to Canada. I am guessing I have to apply for the visa first? Can some one please let me know or give me a rough idea of the processing times? If I already have a job offer, do they process it quicker than if I don't have one?

Answer 1 :
Once you know that you qualify for Canada Immigration, then put in your application. Acc to the new rule the processing time takes between 6-12 months. Yes if you already have a job offer than it is a bit quicker but again it all depends on the case officer....I recommend if you qualify directly for Permanent Residence then just go ahead and apply it
Answer 2 :
it can take a year or more if your employer will sponsor you it may be quicker if you qualify to immigrate to canada that is

What subjects are good for accounting?
What subjects are good for accounting?
In the near future i'm meant to be choosing my A level subjects, i've chosen not to do IB already. Although i don't know what job i want i was thinking of being an accountant/financial adviser for big firms. So basically I don't really know what subjects to do. I like Biology and French the most so i'll probably be doing those but i need to choose 2 more.

Answer 1 :
i would pic math (obviously) erm business studies try statistics hope this helps
Answer 2 :
Business, Economics, Maths? If you got good grades in them you could do almost anything! kinda ..... :) Good Luck!
Answer 3 :
Maths.
Answer 4 :
Take economics (micor/macro), not the general high school courses. Statistics, and maybe a Computer/Business course to familiarize yourself with excel.
Answer 5 :
Hi, I study accounting at university and I would say that you need to know Excel, so something that does Excel is good and this will offer you transferrable skills. Statistics is another subject which is good, however my experience of statistics as a module is that the central premise that 'noone knows anything' but you will have to work hard. Once again if you have a knowledge of Excel you will be fine. Maths obviously but critical analysis is good as you often have to be able to analyse the balance sheet looking for a story (ie. why is a company making a profit/loss and how can you increase/decrease it). A business subject if you can is good. What you could do is look at a prospectus and then consider your options. good luck and I love accounting it really is good fun

Answer 1 :
If you are not listed as his beneficiary either in a will or in legal documentation, you have no right to any information whatsoever. You are at the mercy of his legal antecedants, ie. any children he had or lawful living relatives. This is why legal wills are so important.
Answer 2 :
If your partner didn't give you any of this information I think it's apparent that he or she was not intending to give you anything when he or she died.
Answer 3 :
If his estate was probated, all the probate records are public documents. That's as much information as you are entitled to unless he owed you money. If you have a claim against the estate, you need to file a pleading with the Probate Court stating you have a claim against the estate. Put the case name and number on the pleading and state the basis of your claim. You can then submit questions ("Interrogatories") to the administrator/executor/ personal representative (same office, states use different names) and get any information you want.

Answer 1 :
I saw the whole country in 20 mins. when I was there. There doesn't look like much to do but serve food & give tours.
Answer 2 :
Doubt you would get a job.If you did property is expensive.We (British)cannot simply move to and work in Gib.They are strict unless your Moroccan(Lots of them lying around)on who they let in.Way around is to live in La Linea(Spanish)on the border. Called the front line.Example of the feelings you'd be facing.
Answer 3 :
solid as a rock
Answer 4 :
Gibraltar is wierd!!
Answer 5 :
Difficult to say how much you could earn, there are a lot of Accountancy firms in Gibraltar, the minimum wage is less than in the UK its around £4.50, but you would get that sort of rate if you worked in a Bar, not in a firm of Accountants, those type of wages are similar to the UK, however Temping seems to be non-existent in Gib. Any British person has the right to live in Gibraltar but you do need to apply for a residency permit and to do that you need an address in Gibraltar. Property is very expensive, more like London prices so most people opt to live in La Linea just over the border in Spain and travel across the border to work every day. This is what I do, if you need any more info let me know.
