A lurker comes forward!
 
Hi all,

I have just joined the Facebook site and now here.

Just starting out on the looong journey to move the family and I (all five of us) to Nanaimo, I have family on Protection Island, which I hope makes the whole immigration thing a little easier.

This site has an amazing array of information, the only information missing is, who I can bribe to get over quicker? ;)

Swindon to Nanaimo starts now!

Regards

Si n' Nik

Hi, I'm new too :). Didn't realise there was a Facebook group, do you have a link to the group or should I just search for "British Expats"?

Damn it,

I dont know a single person in or from Canada ;), so the networking starts here!

How do you beg for friends without seemingly begging for friends and jobs?
