I spent a year in Oz as a backpacker. Loved it, would have stayed if I could, and still long to go back.

I have never regretted moving from UK to Canada, but would have chosen Oz if given the option. Having said that, I didn't have a real job/ house/family/responsibilities in Oz - maybe that's why I had such a good time there

What makes you "half-hearted" about returning to Australia, anything you can put your finger on?

Hi,

I spent many years eating mostly Coleman's and then spent three years in Tabasco. Then I went home to Coleman's and found it had changed for the worse in so many ways.

We're desperate for a better life but are torn between Red Sauce or Brown.

I've read the wiki and looked at the government sites but I prefer people's personal experience.

Which will make me more satisfied? Which has the best schools?

+1

Move to Franks Red Hot Sauce, i put that shit on everything

I thought of that, but I have to think of the children too.

What happened to all your videos?

I made a new "Canadian fly on the wall, docu soap, pickers, virtual reality, movie" Watch this space

the modern aussie accent is incredibly annoying

wataah

i believe it has evolved from the convict days - but sounds a lot different from even 30/40 years back

When I see people post questions like this, it's obvious to me that they're probably not going to like Canada. Most people who move to Canada and really like it have come to the conclusion through thorough research that there is something about it that appeals to them. You've got to have some decent reason, if you just have some casual reason the weather will put you off very rapidly.

What I would say is that Canada is a bit more connected to the rest of the world than Australia is, because of its proximity to the US. We have Amazon, oooh.

Maybe I misread it (I didn't study it in great depth) but there's a thread on here where some couple actually got immigrant visas, moved to Ottawa (the main reason being that it is the capital and in most European countries the capital is the main city, which isn't the case in North America, except maybe Mexico) decided after a couple of weeks they didn't like it and left. Duh.

Or in some cases more slowly.



That's why I left Pyongyang.

Probably not.

Although Canada fits the "not Britain" requirement it's not clear what you're looking for. Once you have gone through the process of finding the answers to the questions you listed you'll be in a better position to make the decision but using a short cut of getting all the answers from people on here is unlikely to really leave you much better informed.

As an expat brit, i lived in Canada for 4 years before moving to Queensland Australia. Been here for 6 years now and seriously thinking of moving back to Canada.

Why?

What if you don't like the cold but don't like the cricket either?

Southern France.
