Please don't take this personally, but your posts are incredibly hard to read! I'm guessing that 'not to shore' means 'not too sure', but 'as it was pass'?
I'm assuming you're dictating on an iPhone or similar, but if you could check them before you hit submit it would make it much easier for those that are trying to answer your questions, thanks.

go on this link
http://britishexpats.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=118
it will take you to the trucking part of this site.
please please read and search through this link before asking any more questions because you will get a lot of your answer from here plus wiki (at the top of the page) and google are great fountains of knowledge.
you don't need to use an expert they wont do anything better or different to what you can do yourself, apart from relieve you of a few thousand pounds
the Maritime's (east coast of Canada) doesn't have much of a trucking industry and the pay is poor. the 3 provinces you need to research are Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. they are all different and offer different things to different people!
good luck in your search

Bug, there is free schooling for kids in Canada, and, with a few exceptions the standard of schooling is good. Children do generally seem to start school at 5 here, although there do seem to be some kindergartens who start earlier.
As mentioned there is the trucker section on here, and I am sure that they could help to point you in the right direction.
However, at the top of this page on the blue bar, there is the word Wiki...this will point you in very direction you could possibly have questions about, there are links to simply everything. I have read this forum for a couple of years now and in that time I have seen all sorts of people from all sorts of countries and jobs, manage to fill the forms in (including me!). It does all seem a bit daunting at first, but there is NO possible question you could have with regard to completing these forms, that somebody on this forum hasn't experienced. Very best of luck

You pay school taxes in your property taxes and kids go to public schools (public here does not mean the same as public in Britain), so there is no cost for schooling. If you want to send your kids to private schools (what would be referred to as public schools in Britain) then the fees vary by school and that question is unanswerable.

You would have to do some research to determine what part of the country you might want to live in and then do a trip to that area. Canada is the second largest country in the world and spans six time zones so there are huge differences between different areas.
You need to fully grasp how big Canada really is - all of the United Kingdom (total area 243,610 square kilometers) would fit into Canada (total area 9,984,670 square kilometers) 40.98 times. Great Britain (total area 229,848 square kilometers) would fit into Canada 43.44 times.
Even Ontario, the province I live in, is much much larger than the U.K. or Great Britain. Ontario's total area is 1,076,395 square kilometers (and it is only the fourth largest province!) so the United Kingdom would fit into Ontario 4.41 times while Great Britain would fit into Ontario 4.68 times.
So, in a country as large as Canada, nobody can tell you which area is a good one for a research trip - you have to do some (or a lot of) research in order to figure out what areas might interest you and then do trips to those areas.

There are differences in weather, cold vs. very cold, and there are differences in some geographical features, flat, not flat, ocean, no ocean. But there's not much difference socially, it's not like Europe where people speak different languages, live in different types of buildings, eat different things, dress differently, from place to place. One bit of Canada is pretty much like the other bits so wherever there's a job is the place to go.

Just to be pedantic, Ontario is the second largest Province in size. Nunavit, NWT and Yukon are not Provinces but rather Territories.

And QC, where I live, is almost three times the size of France. The birds are prettier.

Alberta is not like Ontario which is not like the Maritimes. Sure there are commonalities but to suggest it is a homogenous country is rather silly.
Where is a facepalm smilie when I need it?
To say that Toronto north of Bloor is snow, snow, snow, bugs, and more snow is incredibly ignorant. Attitudes like that are a perfect example of why so many people outside of Toronto hate the city and its denizens so much.
