Re: Any Canadians return to Canada with British husband/wife?
Hi all....I was born in Canada and have lived in the uk for 25 yrs... now want to return to Canada with British family..looking at BC. Be starting over in 40's /50's so little concerned re jobs. Anyone else in similar circumstances? how are you finding life, work, housing etc. Anyone live on Vancouver Island?

The reverse culture shock was unexpected.
I haven't liked it as much, coming back, as I thought I liked it.

My Hubby left Vancouver to study when he was 19, hes now 40, and we are looking to move to North Van later this year. We're doing all the Spousal Sponsorship paperwork here in the UK as it supposed to be quicker.

Thanks Editha... for your whole hearted reply. Sorry to hear you are so home sick, true change is harder as we get older....you feel about England the way I feel about Canada at this present moment in time....thinking that I am getting older and have spent most of my life in another country without any family...Too true about pensions, that did cross my mind ( whats left of it, after reading and downloading number of forms...between applying for daughter citizenship, then passports, not to mention spousal sponsorship, health checks....and it goes on and on). In part we want to move for the outdoor open space, mountains, lakes, wildlife, etc..(its a long time since I saw a wild wolf outside my door) ....and the future here in uk is becoming more difficult with lack of jobs, cost of living, population, the EU controls, etc.
