For the USA, consult http://www.princetonreview.com .The website will help you out with the requisite procedure and courses available.

Can I study with a UK Ancestry Visa.?

We Answered:

Might wanna be careful there.

"# You have spent five years continuously in the UK and can show that you have an employment history throughout that five year period. If you intend to apply for ILR you should not spend more than 90 days per year outside the UK during this five year period.
# If at the end of your five year ancestry visa you do not meet all of the ILR qualifying criteria you may apply for an extension to your ancestry visa. "

Ray Said:

when did vocational training begin in the uk?

We Answered:

National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) were introduced in 1994 (so they did not exist in 1980). The idea met with some resistance as they are based on learners showing competencies (the abiklity to perform a list of tasks). Resistance was because one can teach a dog to perform a trick just as easily and learners had to perform each task only once to gain the qualification. We began to turn out plumbers who could not calculate the angles for gravity to take away drain waters and electricians who killed themselves when they started work. Teachers nicknamed NVQs to mean Not Very Qualified. French education institutions thought Britain had gone completely mad and do not accept them as qualifications. The Government however was committted to them and refused to provide educational funding to any institution that awarded qualifications such as the Institute of Plumbing unless they changed their qualifications to NVQs.
Real vocational training began in the 1870s in Germany. That is where the apprenticeship scheme originated. It was copied worldwide and survived in the UK until the introduction of NVQs and so-called "Modern Apprenticeships".
The site below has a good article on the issue.

how can a 17 year old from UK get canadian citizenship?

We Answered:

As it takes months to fully process an application for adoption it would be a a lot harder with the parent/s still alive (and not willing to consent), and crossing international borders (you would have to make sure it is legal before she could have a right to register as a Canadian citizen).

If she just comes over on a tourist visa and you attempt to "sort out the stuff when she gets there" you may be charged with international kidnapping. While her mother may be abusive she still legally is the child's mother unless there are court orders stating otherwise.

It would be easier to wait until she's 18 (as that is the legal age where the child becomes an adult). Perhaps she could consider becoming a Working Holiday Maker or a student to gain access to Canada. If her grandfather is willing to help her out he may provide free accommodation while she studies.

Another option would be the Family Class Application. http://www.canada.org.uk/visa-info/e_ind…
