Hasta La Motion!

I’m planning to move to Vancouver next year for a couple of years and was wondering if anyone could help me out with some info.

I’m a UK national so will need a visa. Do Canadian companies help with this sort of thing? What type of visa? Is it worth using a visa agency?

How’s the industry? I have read on the web that it’s a growing industry in Vancouver and that there are plenty of jobs. Is this true?

I have a family to support so am interested in the rates of pay. No figures needed just is it enough? (I’m a compositor with about 5 years experience, currently working on films).

I’ve had a look on the intraweb but there’s so much info, esp regarding visas, that I’m not sure where to begin!

Any info much appreciated.

Thanks
