Bugs aside, learning to spell advice would probably be a boon..

My advice is take Canada for what it is. Its not the UK, its not the States, its Canada. Endless comparisons usually end up with people focussing on the negatives.
There are areas of life where its better, there are areas where its not. Dont have too many preconceptions, but do your homework and be very clear as to the motivation you have for coming to Canada. Other advice, go where you can get a decent job. Happy immigrants tend to be the ones fully employed. Everything else tends to stem from that. Cost of living and all that surely has been covered numerous times elsewhere. Throw yourself into the lifestyle and try not to reproduce the life you have in the UK, you won't be able to and you will miss out on the good stuff here. It is not perfect but has definitely been a great move for our family. Good luck - let us know how you get on. |

Ermm... yes. Well, I live in Ontario and get driven indoors every evening at 6 pm by hoards of bloodthirsty mosquitoes. Gardening, dining and sipping a nice glass of wine outdoors in the evening is OUT OF THE QUESTION in my neighbourhood. Just warning you. Comparison to midges, well... I'm a polite Canadian, so will zip it!
Okay -- how about the three-to-five months of snow, ice, sleet and freezing rain? You know... outside of bug season... our lovely winter. Fall, however, is gorgeous. P.S. Don't forget to look into Ottawa if IT is your field. |

That's about right around here. Late December to late March (with exceptions of course), but it's guaranteed for those three months. |
