Moving to Canada from the UK

Have you properly thought this through? I'm no expert on Canadian immigration but I suspect that it's not quite as simple as you are suggesting here (using a tourist visa to get in, then 'finding a job', settling down and ultimately applying for citizenship).
Are you even legally employable without immigration documentation?
Don't you have to demonstrate that you have the money to finance your stay (which they will assume to be temporary on a tourist visa)?
I know Canada is a breeze to get into vs USA, but it can't be that piss-easy or everyone would do it.
Seriously, is 'having a Canadian friend' enough to get you in, without any specialized skills, family or business connection?
I always start to worry that things are a bit half-baked, when people suggesting they are going to make a move like this, put their car options ahead of how they are physically going to be able to make the move happen.
I'm curious to learn if it really is that easy...
From allot of research yes its that easy, also im not putting my car options above anything. This just happens to be a car forum and i was curious to how it all worked, and just happened to talk to people who have made the move. Also i doubt everyone would be doing it, its a big thing to move to another country. Are you even legally employable without immigration documentation?
