Never having been to NS we're prepared to like it, but still think it's not for us. Emigrating is something we know you don't do lightly.
Good luck with your house sale,
CJ

Hope your recce trip goes well - Nova Scotia is a great place, but it's not for everyone. Hope it wins you over though!

Yup, we look at jobspress.com every week - I think that's where we got most of our recruitment agencies from! We want to live on the peninsula, probably west end. Wendy sent me a PM with her agent's details.
Sundays we will probably be in Bridgewater, but it's something to consider! Would have to take my mom with me though or else she'd be miffed at us going away for yet another day!
Oh and thanks for Kim's e-mail address - will e-mail her soon, promise!

Hubby has been contacting recruitment co's in the area, and so far only 2 have agreed to meet with him. We're starting to think the chances of getting a job remotely will be almost nil, unless you have a personal contact in a company. Your post was encouraging! Any tips?
Thanks

Sorry I haven't answered you before, we've been away camping in the typical British weather lol, don't know which was worse the rain or 12 girls laughing and giggling till 1.30am
anyway Wendy has explained how we did it. 
Can't wait to get back there, hope all goes well for you
