Friendly newbies !!
Hi all ! Just joined up and wanted to post a lil' greeting.
We are a family of 4 (and the cats!) currently stressing a bit because we've been asked for all the docs by the Embassy ! We want to move to Ontario so if anyone has any tips and advice, or if you are at the same point of uncertainty, drop us a line. Loads of unanswered questions, like most people I guess.. schools, housing, etc..

Re: Friendly newbies !!
only one piece of advice i can think of - keep a photocopy of all forms and documents you send to CIC in a (relatively) organised folder. makes life a whole lot easier if you have all your information in one place.

We are looking at moving to either London, Kitchener, Hamilton or maybe the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) but nothing fixed as yet.

Re: Friendly newbies !!
The question is important because in Canada there are many wild animals, like skunks, racoons, coyotes and foxes that can and will kill, and eat , domestic cats.
Even in a large Canadian city like London, Hamilton or Toronto, there are many wild animals, who live in the forest spaces or river ravines, and they come out at night to hunt for food. If you let your cats roam outside the house , they are also subject to trapping ( with no kill traps ) by land owners. This is quite legal, and when caught in a trap, the cats may be turned over to the city animal control officers for keeping. After 10 days, if they are not claimed by the owners, the cats are killed by injection.
Many cities in Ontario have a annual licence tag system, for both dogs and cats. If the cat or dog has not been neutered or spayed, the costs are triple the normal price, for the municipal licence. Obviously, in Canada we have a different point of view about straying cats and dogs , than in the UK.
Our cat, Squeaky, has never been outside since she came home from the animal shelter where we adopted her, 2 years ago. No fights, no fleas, and no fear of being lost.
