OK, I just checked the map. The part with all the earthquakes isn't even BC at all. That's actually the southern parts of Alaska. So, I'll rephrase my comment to say that the Queen Charlotte Islands and the parts of northwestern BC (non-coastal) near the border with the Yukon and Alaska get a lot of earthquakes.

Always remember mate, get your PR first, if you don't like after your first year or however long it takes, you can always move on.

Hi


The OP should note with the expansion of the Alcan Plant in Kitimat and proposed LNG plants in the area, rental housing is very very expensive if you can find it, Rio Tinto/Alcan has rented a cruise ship for accommodation in Kitimat for it's employees http://tinyurl.com/mqnt3wl

I meant move to another part of Canada , the fella is about to move from the UK for another life, not live on a ship out on the water because he cant find a place to settle down.

But a valid point anyway

Do you live in canada

I'll PM you mate

Thanks for letting us know.

For future ref, you can see a poster's previous posts by clicking on the name and getting the drop down menu - so if you do that you'll see that happyhammers is currently in the UK but is moving to Canada on a TWP shortly.

HTH.

With apologies for the three week dead thread post - just reading this, that article is clearly written from a Canadian perspective, not a British one - and you may have gone native - as 1230 sunshine hours is pretty normal by UK standards. This would be a neutral for someone moving there, or a lack of a positive, not an actual negative - no more gloomy and wet than they're used to.

Prime Rupert is pretty much the only part of Canada that isn't (by British standards) sun drenched. Even Vancouver gets about 50% more sunshine hours than most parts of the UK.
(Though this is why I'm looking at moving to the okanagan )
