Myself and my hubby are longing to move to Canada

We hope to be there by 2014 - I know it sounds a long time away but it gives us plenty of time to forward plan!! (and we'll have the finances to go by then)

Looking forward to getting to know everyone......

Hi and welcome.

I noticed in another post you are planning to go to NS. Sounds a long way off though.

Good luck with your plans.

Thanks.. I know it seems ages away but we're now starting to consider which options will work best for us (we originally had a 10 year plan and 5 of those years have now passed!)

Hi and welcome to the forum

We had a 10yr plan when we moved in this house, all of them had to be sorted in months as we decided not to stand in line and get a job out there.
6yrs after buying the house we are off, what happened to our 10yr plan

OH yeah he talked me into visiting canada and i have never looked back since, canada hopefully is 2008

Good luck
Gill

Thanks Gill,

I don't blame you!!!

Where have you decided to go?

Hello...

I'm in the same situation as you. Just started gathering information...going to the london expo in June.

Good luck!

started out in ontario, but employers wasn't right helpful, took a trip to alberta and come out with job offers.

Accepted one and now keeping fingers crossed that we can pull everything togeather, slightly going mad, but keeping the bigger picture of why we are doing this
Have you been to canada?

Hello and welcome to the site

Thanks Scorpion - I was beginning to feel like a complete saddo with my plans!!!!!

It's lovely to hear that other people are in the same boat as us!

Hope you enjoy the expo.

This site is brilliant isn't it....

Best of luck with your plans - it sounds like we'll need it

Thanks Cassie - it's great to talk to you

Congratulations that's fantastic

Alberta looks amazing- I hope everything works out for you and gets sorted out quickly.

Me and hubby had always fancied emigrating to Canada and we went on holiday to Toronto 2 years ago. Travelled around Ontario and couldn't believe the differences in attitude that you experience over there. We loved it.

We originally fancied moving to Ontario but after researching house prices and stuff we have decided to go for Nova Scotia. They have the Provincial Nominee Programme so it's an extra route to try!

Have you managed to secure a job in the same profession you have here in the UK?

Hi Biiba

When you first start the process you feel that you are the only one doing it but when you stumble across this site its fantastic.

Its been a great help for me so far.

Yeah near enough, he was a manager here in the uk and got in with a fab company so there is room to step up, but hes an industrial electrician, so quiet a few jobs out there if you look

Good look in NS, i have made quiet a few contacts there and everyone loves it

Hello and welcome!

Doesn't sound that far away to me - as SW applications are taking 5 years or more to be processed anyway, a lot of the newbies on here are looking at a similar timescale! So you'll be in good company while you go through all the ups and downs of it all.

Best of luck with it.

I know what you mean it's sort of scary and exciting and you have so many questions but if this site can't answer them nobody can!!

Maybe all the nice people are moving to Canada

I'm so pleased I found this site....
