Hi folks, I thought i would first introduce myself on here and get to know some people!
I am moving to Saskatchewan in August of this year...not long really!! nerves starting to kick in i think! I am moving with my son Connor and my wife who is Canadian so i am lucky in that sence that i have someone who is already familiar with Canada and has family and friends there too...
I flew to Canada last August for the first time and i absolutely loved it! we traveled around Saskatchewan/Alberta and it was amazing.
My wife is a teacher, me too! so we are both hoping that we will be able to find work??...We have one son Connor who is 8 and rather excited about the move, but he says he will miss his Nanny and grandad in England
( my parents ) I have to say i am with him on that, the thought of leaving my family and friends leaves me feeling sad and somewhat empty...But on the other hand i can hardly control the excitment!!
So there it is really in a nut shell, it would be lovely to speak to anyone on here really and hear there positive and negatives experiances and it turn make friends!! Gareth....

Welcome aboard Gareth. Thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself.

Saying goodbye to family and friends is heartbreaking...but the world is a small place nowadays and they can always visit. Where in Canada are you moving to?

I'll give you a few links to point you in the right direct. Our members who post in the Canada Forums are a great crowd...they will help you with any questions you may have about moving to Canada. If you click here it will take you directly to the main index page of the Canada Forum. At the top you will see a list of sub forums...the first one is the Immigration Forum...please post all questions regarding the immigration process there. Many of our regular members who frequent that forum have immigration experience and they will help you through the process. The general forum is for topics related to Canada and the Maple Leaf forum is for general chit chat. Before you begin to post please read through all the sticky threads or announcements that may be posted at the top of the forum's index page. Also take a look in the BE Wiki...you'll find loads of information in there.

If you have any problems finding your way around the many BE forums AmyDavid and The Aviator are concierges for the Canada forums...they will act as your tour guides and guide you around the forums.

For any other problems please contact a moderator. The mods for the Canada forums are Iaink and Christmasoompa.
