Im confused. Why do you feel the need to 'prise information' from me / us?

As I said earlier, the thread is to generate ideas for possible locations for my wife and I to research, based on peoples preferences / opinion on what would be their ideal place to live...
It was intended to be good humoured and not to take too seriously. Although as I have said previously, IF a location pops up by someone's suggestion then great.

I am also aware getting PR doesn't help getting registered, cant remember stating that was the case..

It's ok... It's maybe a bit too small town for me. Husband likes it though- more autonomous in his workload. I was asking about missing friends- was it worth it? For me not really.. Although I appreciate what it's offered us.

To the op... Do you really not to see how your work is relevant to where you choose to live?

Kaylawayla

Eh... Yeah it is. been a few times...

Thanks

Ah, well in that case, if practicality is not important... Timmins? Sault Ste Marie? Thunder Bay? Kenata? You do realise, presumably, that Ontario is quite a big place - that to drive non-stop from west to east would take the best part of 24 hours if you don't hit traffic or snow?

I have a sneaking suspicion that, if all other practical considerations are off the table, a significant proportion of the population of Ontario would not live in Ontario. I certainly wouldn't be in Oakville (or Burlington, and absolutely not Barrie). I mean, don't get me wrong, I like living where I do given the limitations of circumstance, it's a reasonable compromise despite dbd's cynically warped view of suburbia, but with a completely free choice I'd probably be somewhere in an arc from Salzburg to Lyon - maybe a village outside Mulhouse, just on the German side of the border.

Don't blame her lol.

Acts and Sad are the words that come to mind.. Not necessarily in that order if you cant break my code

Kaylawayla

Geez. Eh I know it is paramount to the whole potential migration!!
To the point where we have even agreed that we might not even do it should we not secure decent jobs.. Not nowadays with two young children to consider.

When did I imply that it wasn't ??

your reply above to Post #47....BE & its members are a wealth of information - we do serious, funny & sense of humour, well at least some do, perhaps not me so much.

From the OP post asking for information & in return we on BE the biggest supporters of 'wannabe immigrants' cannot ask you questions? I did not take post#47 as prying. But hey, everyone is an individual.

Most all of BE are immigrants & some, like me have been here long before you were born with many had to tough road of it... blah blah blah

You will find many a post from those looking to emigrate who fish for information (tyre or curb kickers I call them) without sharing or providing just the slightest of further information that would allow the BE members to really help.

If you want to ask 'where is best' & not allow us to ask you questions to help you further, then I guess you are just another 'curb kicker' IMO

Im actually glad you've posted, I was wondering whether you had seen my thread regarding my passport expiring during fsw application in process at visa office?

You usually seem quick to respond to such queries.. so hope you can help?
(I know this is detouring off this thread's topic but hey, everyone else seems to do it!.. )

not2old

Just curious to know - how will you secure jobs before you emigrate to Canada?

not2old

Pleased to read your post & trust life in the boonies continues to work for you both.

Now that you've experienced it, are you planning to be in Canada for a number of years?

Our lives and choices are based on our circumstances and preferences.

If you want to get the best out of what is (despite initial impressions sometimes) a pretty amazing resource of a bunch of people who either have gone through, or are going through what you want to subject yourself to, and still want to take the time to help a total stranger, then you will get much more relevant and useful answers if you share what your preferences and objectives are. As resources go for realistic advice from people who have walked the walk and have nothing to gain by blowing smoke up your arse, its pretty hard to beat.

Garbage in, Garbage out applies here as much as anywhere.

Kaylawayla

Ok. I did not say anyone was prying? tirytory stated they had to 'prise' info out.. I asked why they felt they had to

Nor do I mind well intentioned people asking questions. Id be glad to give any info to anyone who feels they need it on order to give us a point in the right direction.

I'll point out again, and as I said earlier, the thread was to generate ideas for possible locations for my wife and I to research, based on peoples preferences / opinion on what would be their ideal place to live...

The way the question is worded, I don't feel there should be a need to know things like "so you will be the main breadwinner"... "are you male or female"

True, expat CAN be a great source of information as you pointed out. But I am sure you also know, some 'members' cant help but 'do' sarcastic , patronising and negative. But hey, Im big and ugly enough to take it.
Just hate wasting my time... Obviously some people have more of it than others..

Kaylawayla

By sending emails, filling in applications, maybe a few phonecalls, which will hopefully lead to an interview in Canada which will require us getting on a plane and carrying out a recce trip at the same time.

If that fails. We'll back our bags, and the kids i suppose. Get on a plane, go over with a bit ofsavings. And chap on doors.. Basically wing it! Lol

not2old

makes you wonder doesn't it.....

BTW, have you received any valuable information from BE members that has helped you?

I'm bored ...time for a nap

Us too. Help us to help you
