Hello 👋🏻 at the very beginning of our journey..
Hi all, first of all what an amazing page! So helpful.
Myself, hubby and three kids live in Scotland. Our very dear friends emigrated to Canada two years ago and loving it. We have decided we want to do the same. We think going down the route of Nominee programme is our best bet as this is possible in Manitoba. Is this a good choice or is going on work skills maybe better?
We're thinking Brandon next to them is best but obviously unsure of house prices and where's best. Iv only just started so schools and eveverything needs to be considered.
We are comfortable in Scotland both working, 5 bedroom house and getting by. We do not love where we stay, and moving area is to much hassle to end up nothing really changing. Hope that doesn't sound to silly. We want a different way of life and hoping this adventure will help us find it.
Any advice, help or experiences will be appreciated.

Welcome To BE.....the place that onward adventures start!...
Actually...just about every bit of information available in the world is up on the home bar in the Wikis...happy reading!
Every other bit of information is available from us....it's biased as we are happy, it's biased as we are unhappy...but is all 'trure'.
Go and explore, come back and ask!
Very best regards!

Moved from Scotland myself 4 years ago...now sick of the North American 'culture' and moving back to Scotland with my Canadian GF in tow, as she's grown bored of the 'work you to death' situation we're both in, and seems to be true of much of this continent

Hmmm, once again understandably you are disillusioned because of your own personal situation but don't tar everyone with the same brush- Other people are very happy living and working over here. Everything in balance, much the same sentiments on both sides of the coin in the UK, France Belgium, Timbuctoo etc

Horses for courses, however me knowing what I know now, I would never have left Scotland...
2 sides to every coin, my experience hasn't been terrible, but I'm bored of North America and want to have some free time and a life again...not going to happen here!
