re locating to the USA or Canada?? from the UK?

Possible. NOT EASY

Simple question.

Why does any other country NEED or WANT you. Over One Billion in the World want to move. WHY YOU

Want makes YOU better than Millions of others?

If you can answer these simple questions then there is a Possibility and you can TRY for a Visa to immigrate.

It does not matter you like the scenery or do not like your flat in UK. What do give to these other places THEY NEED.

Maybe it is a PHD in Medical Research a Mining Engineer, Hospital Administrator. or some other high level job.

Sorry the store clerk positions are full. The truck/lorrie driving jobs are FULL. Now if one of your Parents is a heavy duty mechanic for buses or trucks that is a different job and possibility.

Suggest you explore things outside just a few Big Cities.for your start in other land.

Try this. Just answer the questions. Nothing Personal. You can repeat the questions and give different answers to see possibilities as your skills improve.

You might also look for each province and see want is needed in different parts of Canada,

In is just as hard for UK citizens to move to the USA as for American citizens to move to the UK.

I do understand why you would think the USA would be better than the UK perhaps you need to]

so some proper research.

Pick a visa

There are basically NINE ways that you can get a visa to live and work in the US:

(1) Marriage (or engagement in anticipation of marriage) to a US citizen.

(2) You have skills that are in short supply in the US e.g. scientific or medical training. A degree is normally a must. Or you have superior specialist skills with at least 12 years experience. (H visas)applications next received on 1st April in this current year

(3) You have an Employer who is willing to transfer you - but even the employer has to make a good case for you - so you have to be a manager unless you fall under category (2) above.(L visas)

(4) You may get a Green card in the diversity lottery (UK citizens, except N.Ireland, are not generally eligible unless you, your spouse or parents were born abroad or held a different citizenship.

(5)You own or buy business (does not get you permanent resident status i.e. no green card)You must be a national of a qualifying Treaty countries. The business must have a minimum value of around $150k (more the better) bearing in mind you will need somewhere to live and with any startup business you will need at least 2 years living money as back up. So a figure of $350k would be a nearer minimum (E-2 visas)

(6)You are an "investor" i.e. you have at least US $1m in assets to bring with you. half of that in a few areas. And your background will be investigated to the hilt. (EB-5 visas)

(7)You have a close relative (mother, father, brother, sister and no further) who is an US citizen who would sponsor you, approx time this take 2-25 years?

(8.The R1 visa is available to foreign members of religious denominations, having bona fide non-profit religious organizations in the U.S., for entering the U.S. to carry on the activities of a minister or religious worker as a profession, occupation or vocation

(9)THE UNUSUAL You are in a position to claim refugee status/political asylum. or You get a member of Congress to sponsor a private bill with legislation that applies just to you.

The S visa issued to persons who assist US law enforcement to investigate and prosecute crimes and terrorist activities such as money laundering and organized crime

Recruitment agent will not take you seriously if you are not already in the US. Writing for jobs is really a waste of time; likewise US employers have no idea what foreign qualification are or mean (except Degrees) it may pay you to get your qualification translated into a US equivalent, there are Companies that do this (World Education Services - International Credential Evaluation Expertise) ..

But if you are getting a visa under (2) above then you need a job offer before you can get the visa. Your Employer will be your sponsor this will cost them upward of $5k. So you can see you have to be offering something really special to get considered They may also have to prove to the Dept of labor that there is no American who can do the job if the position is to be permanent ©

DO NOT USE VISA CONSULTANTS

The regulations define a "specialty occupation" as requiring theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge in a field of human endeavor including but not limited to biotechnology, chemistry, architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, medicine and health, education, law, accounting, business specialties, theology, and the arts, and requiring the attainment of a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent as a minimum

Moving to either country is pretty difficult. Basically, you need a skill, or profession that is in demand there. That is the best way. Still, see www.cic.gc.ca/english for all the details on how to do it. For Canada at least.

Relatives in either won't be any help

Your parents will need to see which country they meet the work visa requirements for, and go from there. The embassy isn't going to help.

You cannot "relocate". Your parents will have to get a work visa for the either country which will depend on there skills. Having distant relatives such as cousins does not help you at all.

Read through the requirements on both those countries immigration sites neither are very easy even for English speaking people.

Not as easy as "relocating" your mum or dad will need to have a high level STEM degree with years of work experience and have found an employer who is sponsoring a work visa for them, only then will they be relocating to either of those countries

Why the **** would you wanna move to the US? From the UK!!!!!

Youll probably be murdered at some point because the gun laws are rediculous,
