Of all countries,why move to Canada?
The weather is freezing much of the year, financial opportunities are fewer than found in the UK,and Canada is so spread out that many people compare living there to the old frontier days when north America was being settled.
There are obvious up sides to living in Canada beginning with the people who imo are about the most decent group of nationals of any nation.Also housing is very affordable,the landscape is beautiful, and the pace of life is far less stressful than most western countries.
But is moving to Canada worth starting all over in a foreign country not to mention giving up your well established way of life back home in the UK? Do you have any concerns that this move might be an extreme decision, when all you really need to do is to shake things up abit by moving to a different region of the UK? Why Canada?

Re: Of all countries,why move to Canada?
I think people move to Canada because they feel an affinity for Canadian's two great loves; legislation and administration. I expect most immigrants from the UK find the bureaucratic aspects of the EU attractive but unfulfilling; they come here because they crave more red tape.

Re: Of all countries,why move to Canada?
I moved to Canada for several reasons. One of them was the fact that I was too lazy to learn another language.
