Re: A chance of a lifetime, should I stay or go…?
Brits and Canadians speak English, but we don't understand each other if that makes sense.
They have a different lifestyle and sense of humour to us Brits.
It's equally if not more expensive to live in Canada and you HAVE to drive everywhere.
The education system is crap compared to UK. There's no culture, castles, history here. No conversation unless you're into ice hockey!!!
Seriously think about it before the upheaval and separation of families.
The grass is definitely not greener here, just a worse shade.
We're going back after 5 loooong booooring years, been let down so many times by so called "friends".
We can't wait to get back to quaint familiarity and no snow, ice and freezing rain for 5 months of the year.
The terrain in Ontario is the same for miles, no seaside or mountains, hard to get used to, I wish you all the best with your decision.

Why didn't you move somewhere else?

We really need to have a personality assesment team within our immigration department. We need to be able to weed out those who don't seem to realize WTF they are doing. They are clogging the system and wasting everyones time and resources.

The thing is, why is this the opportunity of a lifetime?? If moving to Toronto is the best you can see life throwing at you then do it. If you want something else, something you can't get here then don't.

Vader - even those of us that think we are able to cope can be hit hard by the changes!
