Back on this forum after almost 17 Years!!! Wow
 
Just making the title of my post shocked me. I can not believe its been 17 years roughly since I was a big regular posters of a billion questions and when I could try to help others from my experiances. Was not able to even figure out my old log in user name or login details so made a new one. I originally applied for PR application moved from London England to Toronto Canada. Think back then was 72 points needed. Be interesting if any older members who applied around that time and now many years later how they are doing. Hope all of you whether you applying new or moved over and settled are all doing great.

I have had times where I have questioned my decision to move but stuck it out during the very tough times in begining years. Ended up coming right when the country had a recession 1 year after I moved. Went from marketing career to factory jobs. Then got a licence in fire service industry. Spent 15 years in it. Got laid off during covid and started a new career as a Real Estate Agent 1 year ago. Its been a long road and the road is still going. Life is never easy but I always work hard with a big heart. I moved when I was byself and now with 2 kids and wife and family. Anyway wish you all the very best luck and happy to be part of the community forum again. Its an awesome place and helped me so much to get move to canada.

Real Estate Agent... are you still doing this? We are possibly moving to Toronto in August, pending work visas.

Hi Nikki - your posts from NS were very helpful on my own journey. I think it's less likely one logs in here as citizenship recedes into our past; the rules change and what we knew may no longer apply to newcomers.

We too moved to Alberta 17 years ago and again dropped off this site.
Extremely Grateful for all the help with our Canadian journey back then.
We love living in Alberta but I’ve started wondering about life in a different province, maybe Halifax, NS
It’s nice to see some familiar names back on here :)

I thought I'd pop on to see what's happening. I'm still wanting to move to Ontario. Hubby has decided he wants to check out Nova Scotia now. I had half made up my mind that it would be England, but after a wonderful week with my daughter, I want to be much nearer her.
