I'm debating where I would like to immigrate in the future and I was considering perhaps going to Canada.
Qualification wise I have 8 GCSE's and around 3 B's at AS level. I am not sure what I want to do but I do have one question:
Since I have an uncle with canadian citizenship and 3 1st cousins who are born in Canada, would it be easy for me to get in there? In general how hard is it to get there?
Also, if I went to a university and got a degree would that guarantee me to get in?

Thank you. I appreciate your responses.
No, a degree is not worth anything for immigration here unless it is exceptionally high demand (medical degree, perhaps nursing, other "in-demand" qualifications. Your relatives are not close enough to matter. I suggest, if Canada is your goal, to look at the skilled workers needs and pursue that education. A decent level of French will also help if you apply to Quebec (and you can then move around elsewhere if you want).
I have no idea what those qualifications mean, if they are not university-level/important trades, then they are irrelevant.
The above link from STT will answer your questions. In general, your best chance to get to Canada is to have training and experience in a critical skill, as well as a written job offer in hand. The ability to speak some French will also help you out. A degree will also bump you up a little but you cannot get to that point in the process without having the critical skill training and experience to start with. Every country in the world has enough "normal" people that they don't need to import them from somewhere else.
A particular skill which is in demand and in which a vacancy cannot be easily filled by a Canadian citizen. As already pointed out, a degree in and of itself doesn't put you on any fast track. A degree and specific experience in a particular field might. I've no clue if a degree and experience in meteorology is a field in which Canadian employers have difficulty finding qualified employees.

Ok thank you very much.
