Good day all,
My family and I were conisdering relocating from Canada to somewhere in Scotland. I am a Network Administrator/everything IT and wanted to know if there is a decent amount of work in Scotland for a person in my field.
I've searched the internet and have seen a few postings but was hoping to hear from people first hand if the market there is flooded with persons in my field.
Thanks in advance.

If they are citizens of the Common Wealth (and they should be if they are citizens of Canada) then they should not have a difficult time getting the right visa to stay in the UK. All Common Wealth countries (UK, Canada, Australia, and a few others I think) have a much easier time moving to each other's countries. The same is true of all EU countries and countries that participate in the EEA (European Economic Area) The only major country that does not fit into either group is the US, which makes it painfully difficult to live in the UK for Americans who wish to move to Scotland.

Greetings everyone!
This is the problem I'm facing. I'm a U.S. citizen, and medically disabled, but desperately want to move to Scotland. There's possible work as a nanny for me there, but what to do after that 6 mon. Work Visa runs out? I don't want to be a burden to the system; but to be quite honest- if the President's name starts with a "T".......I question whether or not I want to return.......
My thanks for any and all help given- goddess

If you really think that Trump is that bad then you haven't been doing your homework.

Being a Commonwealth person won't make it any easier. It was only easier 4 EU folks, but that may B changing w/Britexit. A young beautiful, singer actress, Ebony Buckle, Australian, married 2 a Brit, was denied residence, (google it) cause her hubby didn't earn 18,600 quid, even tho she did, her income didn't count.

First of all, the OP has not posted since November to even acknowledge having read any responses. When that happens, what is the point of continuing to add comments?
Second, the requirements for immigration are quite clear cut and easily found on the government website.

There are no special allowances for Commonwealth country citizens YvonneArcher.
The same rules apply to anyone including someone with a medical condition Goddess.

Since the Brexit referendum, NO ONE can tell you what will happen maltagirl. This is a period of total uncertainty until the UK and the EU negotiate the terms of the UK's leaving the EU.
At the moment, as the UK is still a member of the EU, you can move treir tomorrow if you like and have the right to live and work there. But no one call tell you if they will ask you to leave 2 years from now.
It is up to you to decide if you want to move given the uncertainty that will exist until the terms are negotiated.

It is not just the Brexit issue that is in play here. I've just returned from three months in Aberdeenshire. With Scotland it is more the independence issue tan Brexit. Scotland almost unanimously voted to stay in the EU and is working to stay on the EU despite the rest of the UK. Northern Ireland and Yorkshire also wished to remain. Follow Nicola Sturgeon to keep abreast of this. She is pro immigration.
