Its normal. It causes you to consider all possible outcomes. Not to mention that moving abroad, leaving behind one's comfort zone and all that is safe and famliar is stressful.

Life is a crap shoot and fortune favours the brave but luck also comes into it...can i find a decent job, will i like where I live, will i make new friends? What if........

You have to commit then make the best of it with a positive attitude. If it doesn't work out, you can always go back, a bit lighter in the pocket but richer for the experience of it. besides, vancouver is a pretty nice slice of the world, regardless of what some on here would have you believe.

good luck...any practical help i can give about vancouver just fire away or pm me
