Re: East vs West

We're in Mill Bay, which is, as you say, pretty similar to the Conneticut look/feel. We'd be prepared to travel for culture. We're not exactly awash with culture where we are! I think the attraction...

East vs West

Hi All
I have a question for everyone:

Re: Express entry profile question

Re: Advice for someone just starting out on the immigration journey!

Although we live in a beautiful part of BC (vancouver Island), and we're on the coast, I wouldn't say it's any easier to hike and do outdoorsy things here than it was in the UK. There are no bridle...

Re: Travelling to UK for work

Let’s see - we’d certainly still have ties with Canada. We own our house here. We have another child here (Canada) at boarding school. The York Uni is the one in the UK. We have investments in...
