TBH I think Banff will be rocking in the winter.

I don't think this is true.

It is true, it's a National Park, remember. Not just anyone can live there.

Even a lot of the people who work there live in Canmore.

The mountains sound lovely and romantic on a spring or summer day and you imagine pristine snow and blue skies, it may be different when you have months of it. It's something that only you can decide. You will find all sorts of help on here, have fun!

Isn't this typical of ski resorts? Whether it's Aspen or Gstaad the people who fill the holes in the roads, or even the holes in the teeth of the residents, live somewhere cheaper and drive up the mountain to work. Even the "residents" aren't resident but just have a house there.

I never said "just anyone can live there". I said I didn't think it was true that you had to be a business owner or employee to live there. There are more than just employees and business owners listed as eligible residents.

Depends on the resort - nearest town to Sun Peaks is 45 mins (56kms) away in the summer or an hour in the winter. Too far to want to commute regularly if a business owner, and too expensive on gas if you dig holes or clean hotel rooms. Property is reasonably affordable, so most employers and employees live here.

Holiday mode can dry up real quick after you've moved here and you have to face the reality of the Alberta job market. If you're coming over for a couple of years on an IEC then have fun.

I bet in Banff there were a bunch of nice characters that were very friendly and who made you feel very welcome. Were there fireworks every night?

Well, as I said I'm normally a very positive person but I am a bit of a glumster at the moment!


I thought it would be simple to just move to Canada because the British queen is head of government but it's not as simple as it seems. It hought it would be like moving to Europe where anyone can do anything. Not happy, people!


But, it's not impossible and I just need to figure out a way to do it, because I WILL do it!

Absolutely not that straight forward at all. So now you know reality you can start gathering your information. Good luck

The two big resources Canada has to prevent uncontrolled movement of people to its shores are the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
