Re: Hello from Lancashire
Hello
I have stumbled across this site, by accident, and it appears to have all the information that I required prior to submitting my application.
We applied in Jan 05, and received our visa's in July this year.
My wife & 2 kids are preparing to leave th UK in April 2008, and heading for Ontario. We live in a town called Nelson near Manchester.
So I look forward to learning of other folk's experience's prior to landing, and sharing some of my own soon!
Bye

Hi, we are heading for Ontario too, LaSalle, if this house sale ever completes, hopefully end of this month.
Good luck and enjoy your journey.

They sell Marmite in Loblaws, unfortunately Bovril is my addition! Can buy a VERY small jar for $3.95 in a fairly local store though - ouch!

Forgot to mention, you can also get 'offal' so don't despair! I have bought my OH stuffed lambs hearts and kidney from my local 'English' butcher, he will give you a hard time if you don't support Man U though! You can also get shredded beef suet too, for those dumplings, year round unlike the big stores! They only sell it around Christmas for the puds.

But i think i'll pass on the offal! I do like my marmite though

Re: Hello from Lancashire
Hi not as far as you 
Hubby been trying to get me there for years but i love the village
He dragged me out there in january to have a look round and ever since we have been sorting out.
We have decided to apply for PR once in there or get pnp from an employer, so not worth putting in the simple application for us.
Hubby is electrician and from the emails ive received from alberta, the job side wont be a problem, our main problem is selling this house.
Once house is sold we start by going on recci and securing a job, then once that is sorted we can just go once the visas etc are sorted.
The other way is that i go back to school there, which one i dont know until we get this house sold and take the trip to alberta.
I still like kingston in ontario and have still got contacts there, shame the jobs arent there for hubby
Good luck on your journey, hey not long now
Last wet and windy christmas for you

We're looking to booking flights, hopefully this weekend, Canadianaffair are the best price for the 4 of us. Felt a bit strange on their website, enquiring about one way tickets.
Then we have to sell this house, daunting!
All the best

I looked at the promotion offer with Zoom, and for oneway flights, it was too pricey! Canadianaffair have been the cheapest so far.

PS As it happens...our numbers didn't come up either. Maybe next week.
