    I someone on here has done this, just looking for some advice really.

    Basically, there is a chance for me and the wife to emmigrate over there (Toronto area) as she works for a canadian firm who support the emmigration.

    Anyone got experience?

    I've always wanted to live there since I was a kid, for no reason either. I've not even been!

    a bar girl in Amsterdam convinced me, without even needing to do anything in particular, that Canada would be a fantastic place to live.

    I've met quite a few Canada fans recently! My mate and his family have just come back from Saskatoon, Sasketchewan but they didn't like it. However SK is in the middle of nowhere and I'd much more interested in Toronto (Ontartio), Vancouver (British Coloumbia) and Edmonton (Alberta).

    I don't have much experience on the whole moving process but I have been to Canada on numerous occasions, I have a lot of family who live in Vancouver and I've been to Toronto and Montreal too.

    Canada is just such a beautiful country, I love it each time I go and always want to go back.
    If the oppurtunity ever arose for me to emmigrate there, I'd be off in a flash.

    My wife loves Canada and would like to move there. Too close to the USA for me!
    Not around too often!

    A good friend of mine moved to Toronto two years ago on a 6 month contract, he's never returned, absolutely loves it.

    Good luck mate,

    It's a fantastic country! Makes you realise just how crowded Britain is.

    Aww man I hate it, I need to go! Over there you can get a Mustang (V6) for less than we pay for a bottom of the range Mondeo! Obviously the pay over there nearly equals out their economy to ours, but if you have a few Pounds Sterling in the bank and convert it to Canadian Dollors you're in the money!

    My mate went over there a couple of years ago - he had dual nationality. He moved from Manchester way to live in Vancouver, lives there with his missus and his two kids. He swears by the place, absolutely loves it - so much so that me and my missus are flying over there in September to check it out. I can work over there so I'll be looking at this trip as a look-see, see if I want to jump the boat too.
    What we share with everyone is glum, and dark...

    One of the downsides however is that moving to Canada has caught on, and just about everyone knows someone who has emigrated there or is thinking about it.
    As a result, in areas like Vancouver house prices have shot up almost as much as they did in the UK. The general cost of living over there has gone up.

    My sister was thinking of moving to Vancouver but due to the huge jump in house prices she's applied for Australia instead.
