Starting immigration process

[SAFam]

Hi all, my wife and I are about to start our process towards immigration and would like advice from anyone who has experience in immigration from South Africa. I am a qualified red seal electrician (qualified in 1998 with trade test from Olifantsfontein) I also have my wiremans licence. We have two children aged 8 and 13. Can anyone please tell us where we should start. Thanks.

Hi SAFam

Will you be using a migration agent and if so who do you have in mind? Will you be looking for work before you go or after you have arrived in Canada?
