Canada! Wow!
 
Hi All!

I just got back from an amazing trip to the Rockies! Loved Banff! IT was my first time to Canada and I loved it! I am now massively researching how I can move to Canada, specifically the Banff area.

I found this forum and hope to get to know you and maybe even meet some of you when I make the move over!

Welcome to BE, but just remember that visiting a place on holiday, and living there are two totally different things. You rea;lly need to also see just what it's like in the middle of winter as well before deciding.

I'd say go for it! A few years ago my girlfriend and I tried to emigrate to Disneyland after a wonderful week in the magic kingdom but we made the mistake of listening to all the negative, and I suspect jealous, voices back at home. Now we're always wondering, what if? :(

Thanks for the replies!

I am a very positive person and when I put my mind to something I make it happen!

It is a shame you didn’t emigrate to Florida (or is it California that Disneyland is in, I can’t remember) because it’s just a waste if you spend your life regretting things. Never listen to the doom and gloom mongers! You could still go if you really went to. Your biggest hurdle is your own fear.

I am sure I would like Banff even in the winter, I can just learn to snowboard which is something I can’t do here in England, haha!

In ordeer to live in banff I believe you have to be working there or own a business there. That is what my friend who lives there told me (works in one of the hotels).

Its a beautiful place but the snow (I have been told) can be hardcore

Stick around and you'll soon learn that Oink had his sarcastic pants on with that post (he wears them quite a lot, apparently outside his trousers as he thinks he's Superman). ;):lol:

Welcome to BE, good luck with your plans.

Welcome to the forum. It's a quirky place but you'll get lots of good advice, and some Nicky taking. What do you do for a living? Do you have an idea yet how you might get a visa? It's pretty tough these days.

Why can't you learn to snowboard in England?

They have a dome and school in Milton Keynes.

Now that's something you'd want to spell right eh?

I reckon it's to do with gay marriage. Snowboarders being gay skiers and all that.

(Note this post is solely intended to discrimate against snowboarders and is fully supportive of all sexual orientations)
