Leaving family and friends behind
I am moving to Toronto early next year and wanted to know if anyone has experienced doing the big move alone. I live in London and have all my family and friends there. I am moving to Toronto to join my Canadian partner. Any shared experiences of this will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Leaving family and friends behind
We haven't done this yet and we have 2 children--11 & 6.
We did however move to Scotland for near 3 years and we did experience a lot of tears and backlash--with Canada when it comes it will be worse probably as you are so far away.
However, YOU have got to do what YOU consider to be the best thing for YOU. If this means moving on then do it, as friends and family should always be there but the opportunity may not.
Hope this helps

I'm sure there are a quite a few people on here who will be able to relate to how you are feeling, it's not easy leaving everything that's familiar to start a new life but all you can do is give it a go
When I moved to Montreal back in 1999 with my Canadian OH I hadn't even been to Canada for a holiday. I'm sure with the support of you partner and his family and friends things will work out. Good luck
