Hi I am going to apologise in advance for this post as it is a bit of a rant as well as asking for advice!! I have recently got my PR and I am all eager to get going. However my Husband (the Canadian!) is having trouble making his mind up. For the last 2yrs he has said he cant wait to get out there etc, and the last yr we had decided to go, ideally with one of us getting a job. As most of you know to find a job in Canada from the UK is VERY difficult, so I think we should go out there and knock on doors and live with his family. Both of our current jobs in the UK are looking likely to cease come Oct, so I think that is even more reason to go then. However he is now saying moving (to Ottawa) in the Winter is a bad time and he is worried we won`t find work. I am quite happy to get bar work just to tide us over but he is having a really hard time making a decision. One min he wants to go the next he doesn`t. So I have said that he has to make his mind up as it is causing me alot of emotional stress!!!

So basically the advice I am looking for is what have others done when moving to this part of Canada? Also anyones opinion will be appreciated.

Again sorry about the moaning!

I'm sorry but I can understand his point of view, is it just the two of you or do you have children as well.

I think I would have been uneasy leaving England without one of us having some sort of job to come out to.

Do any of you have a skilled profession?

Its hard to give this sort of advice without knowing all your background details and its hard for you to explain yourself and situation on a forum. I think at the end of the day only you two know the real answer to this question.

Hi I understand his point as well, and you are right it is a choice that we have to make together, but it is sooooooooo frustrating. To be honest I was having a bit of a rant just to write my frustrations down. He is a qualified pilot and I am nursery nurse, so just starting the equivalency process. I guess all these frustrations are part and parcel of moving to a different country and I am sure things will work out in the end.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Your welcome and I hope everything works out well in the end, its probally last minute jitters. Its normal.

The last thing you want to do is back him up in a corner, you might regret it. If you are on at him all the time just give him a rest for a couple of days he knows your feels about it. Let him have a think.
