Hello, I've been accepted for a Youth Mobility Visa and, according to the terms of my visa, I have to enter the UK between June 16 and July 16. My biometric residence permit will be available for pick up from June 23rd. I'm wondering when I can actually legally begin working. Is it June 16, June 23,...

Thanks, Wanderer and Casa. That's what I thought but the wording on the gov.uk site appears to state otherwise (unless I'm interpreting it wrong), so that's why I was confused.

Hello, I’m looking to apply for the Youth Mobility Visa and am confused by this sentence on the gov.uk website: “You’ll have to collect your biometric residence permit within 10 days of when you said you’d arrive in the UK (even if you actually arrive at a later date).” (https://www.gov.uk/tier-5-yo...

No we're not, but the French PACS is available for opposite-sex couples as well. Isn't it the same for the UK civil partnership?

Hi again, After further researches, I am coming back to you with another interrogation. If we are able to register for a French PACS (which is the French equivalent for the UK civil partnership), living together for a few months either in France or Canada, could I then apply for a "UK residence card...

You can: - get married and apply for an EEA family permit for your Canadian partner - move to Canada and apply for an EEA family permit for your Canadian partner after cohabiting for two years - find an employer willing and able to sponsor your Canadian partner for a work visa (might be quite diffi...

Thanks for your reply.
For the citizenship, yes we do. I am a French citizen and my partner a Canadian citizen (both born and raised in our respective country). Do you think the only option then would be the Work Visa or can my French citizenship make it easier ?

Hello, My partner and I have a few questions about UK visas and are finding it difficult to find reliable information. Any advice or assistance would be appreciated! Our situation is as follows: One of us lives in France, and the other lives in Canada. We've been together for over 3 years and are co...
