the easiest way is to marry a Canadian. That's how I did it.

Otherwise you need to visit THIS website. It'll probably involve some money, a medical, and some intensive form-filling. And a lot of waiting too, although it's quicker from the UK than from most other countries.

good luck

I definitely recommend you go the Cougar route, supply them with some carnal activities and you are bank rolled for life, true story.

so then, where are the nice canadian men? :lol:
I plan to come to Canada next year - but I already get my visa without marrying a Canadian - but it's just valid for one year - so this could be my "emergency plan" lol

Australian requirements are a bit more strict than Canadian. Go to the government of Canada website.

Should be some useful stuff on here for you.

Good luck but personally stay in Australia. Much better weather down here than back home!

christmas time might be a little over-optimistic. Having said that, you can spend up to a certain time over here as a visitor and get the immigration come through later.

All the information you need is on the website I gave you. It takes a bit of trawling through, but it's there.
