Hi from Manitoba
 
Hello everyone. Been in Stonewall for just over a year now. Only found this website recently, wish I had heard of it sooner. It is very informative. :thumbsup:

There were so many forms for the PNP nomination that I thought we would never get sorted. Anyway, got nominated and have more forms to complete. Will be back on here with questions, no doubt.:blink:

Hi
Have you been told to send your federal forms to Buffalo as this is where we've been told to submit on the Alberta PNP.

Welcome to BE :) I went to Stonewall once but I couldn't see what all the fuss was about. Maybe I missed the nice parts?

Hi. Yes, we have been told to send them to Buffalo. Hoping to get them sent off very soon.

It is a very nice town. We are not great lovers of cities, always lived in villages back home. People are very friendly. It has almost everything we need there, doctors/hospital/2 banks/2 supermarkets/dentist/post office/card shops and lots of others.

The only snag is that the liquor vendor doesn't sell Guinness so have to make a 1/2 hour trip to Winnipeg.:frown:

Read on another posting that it was quite hard to get a house here. There aren't many houses that are for sale for very long.

There are also a couple of chinese restaurants/ chicken chef and chicken delight/burger bar and ice cream parlour.

Also, 2 petrol stations.

Good stuff, glad you like it :)

We were in Winnipeg for 2yrs and although it wasn't for me, it was a nice place and I think more Brits should consider it. Having said that, the housing market's a bit mad in Wpg at the moment, isn't it?! :unsure:

The Housing market is calming down a bit now, it usually does this time of year, and then fires up again in the spring.

So for those who want to buy a house, now can be a good time, there won't be the choice of other times, but you may not have to cope with the frantic bidding wars we've been having.:thumbup:
