Emigrating to Canada

hi there

I was wondering if there are any British pilots out there, that have made the plunge to live and work in Canada. I know its probably very slim as it does look very difficult to be able to get visas, especially for a pilot.
We have done lots of research and are very determined to do this. I know that we have to have a visa, and to get a visa you need a job. I have looked in to converting my license and have all the ness books and know the costs. I have inquired about jobs with lots of company's all over Canada and have had good responses but it comes down to the permanent residence or the TWP,

I was wondering of anybody elses experience with emigrating as a pilot.? Do you think anyone would employ on a TWP,?( then i would apply for permanent res)
I have 2500 hrs including time with an airline.
I am looking for new experiences and determined it can be done!
I would be grateful of any advise, except "don't do it" . I know its going to be tough, do i just take the plunge????
Would like to know of anyone's experiences.
