Canada was a wonderful holiday and that is now what we have decided to leave it as. After 18 months our Business has not sold. We had a deadline of December 2010 to sell it!! We are 15 months into our Entrepreneur Visa Application and will now withdraw it. We are now looking at areas within UK to relocate. Our most favourite being Mid Wales... and we can keep our business!!
Canada is a beautiful place to visit, but for us it is not meant to be. No regrets - life is too short eh!!!!
To everyone who has offered advice on different areas of immigration and life in Canada - you are all brilliant. And to all the sarkey bugg*rs - you are all hilarious and have had me in stitches over the last few years with your one liners and put downs...you should get together and write a book lol.....!! Oink, Novo, Fled, Mandy, Oak, elricho:wub to name but a few but the list goes on .

To everyone in Canada and to everyone trying to get there

Sorry things didn't work out quite as you hoped but congratulations on keeping positive and finding a new goal

(I sometimes wish we had just relocated elsewhere in the UK - as they say hindsight and all that)

Good Luck. Sounds like you have thought it all through.

Now the decision is made what are the odds the business sells in the near future

Shame but good luck with it all. Wales has some lovely parts.

well, even if it does iaink, after much consideration, the risk could well be too much for us. It has taken much soul searching to reach this decision but now it has been reached, I am trying not to be sad but glad we have a new goal to work towards..

Regards

Ahh el-richo, tis a shame we didn't discover the place 10 years ago lol, but there ya go.

Off for a recce to ahem West Wales in January!!!!!!!

Eldest lad (nearly 16) thinks the whole thing is bloody hilarious...

Regards

Now cmon everyone, I want some fab sarcastic jibes to finish the thread off on - don't let me down you lot.............

Ok, how about a joke from Rhod Gilbert

"In the Bible, God made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights. That’s a pretty good summer for Wales. That’s a hosepipe ban waiting to happen."

Finally Welsh'ed on Canada but good luck on your discission you have the right frame of mind to make things happen, Hope your business thrives and your 16 yr old realises life is not a joke and you all settle in nicely in Wales.Only down side is you will have to learn another language.All the very best and I hope your dreams come true BIG RON.

Ps.Ito live in lancs and just waiting for London to ask for our passports.Been 3.5 yrs.since our son first sponsored us. N Barlick we live.

Good luck for your future

Hi EL RICHO
Is the name Dildo correct or are you taking the p--s.If not I bet it really vibrates on a saturday night.

I get the impression, rain is to Wales like snow is to Canada....

And as for the welsh language.......... what is that all about!!!!!!!!

Some beautiful parts though, so if we can keep our business and live in a beautiful part that'll do us nicely........

el-richo taking the p*ss - never, not on your nelly, nooooooooo
