46N, I can understand your reluctance to 'waste' your cash, but surely it can't cost that much to have an applicaiton processed ? If the word 'aviation' or CAA appeared somewhere on the form I could understand !
But seriously, the risk of losing the cost of nominal fee v's being given an automatic right to come and live in the UK (as well as any of the other EU countries) I'd say it's a risk worth taking given the likelihood you'd be successful ! No ?
Then again you could always fly over here. Throw your Canadian passport away and claim asylum on entering ! You'd be well sorted then !! Free housing and free cash to go and spend on whatever you please !! Seems to have worked for quite a lot of people currently residing on our little island !!
Grateful bunch some of them as well - even go to the effort to put on little firework displays for the locals !
Good luck anyways,
CG
