Re: Move to Regina
 

He's going to work for Loblaws in Regina and he's never even visited?

$73K is a decent wage out there but please reassure me he isn't a truck driver.

Re: Move to Regina
 

Let him go if its what he wants and move on with your life,just dont let him come back when it all turns to shit.
Really sorry about the situation you are in,,,good luck

Re: Move to Regina
 

Sounds like your in a tough place right now. It also sounds as though you are happy in your life in England. To make a successful immigration you must both be in it 200% and then things can still go wrong, it's not an easy place to be at times. Good luck.

Re: Move to Regina
 

We moved to Regina Beach 5 years ago and had only been to Niagra Falls about 10 years before.

You have posters on this site who like to put Regina and Saskatchewan down. Yes Regina is vastly different than any other city, but I love it.

Not being able to drive is not an issue as the bus service is good, but you really need to drive if you live out of the city.

You also need to both be on the same page as immigrating is a big step if you are only half-hearted about it. But it sounds as if you had your mind made up anyway.

Good luck :thumbup:

Re: Move to Regina
 

Has he tried to persuade you to come with him? From what you've said it rather sounds like he doesn't care about what you think, feel or want. Would not be a good start in a new country.

Maybe an absolute clean break is what you both need, even if you didn't know it before?

Re: Move to Regina
 

Yes he is going to be truck driver, why are they badly treated I'm really worried now.

Re: Move to Regina
 

There are those on here much better qualified than I am to comment on that. I was more thinking of the rather disgusting winter climate in Saskatchewan and the soul destroying nature of spending his time driving through a frozen wilderness for days on end.

I must say, $73K seems rather high for the job. Is he quite sure that that's what he'll be getting?

Re: Move to Regina
 

And he better get an iPod/pad because the radio is absolute shite.

Re: Move to Regina
 

Believe me I know. Number 2 son worked in Regina for an AM radio broadcaster for almost a year. Nearly drove him (even more) insane. But now he's with Global TV.

Re: Move to Regina
 

I can only go by the workings out on contract. Just think that what we are earning between us in UK gives us comfortable lifestyle, an wondering if will be the same out there. I know UK not best place to live but can think of worse places. Guess only time will tell.

Re: Move to Regina
 

My husband seems to think that's he's dream. Where as I get cold in the UK an font want to be house bound for days on end.

Re: Move to Regina
 

I always used to be frozen in the UK too, for some reason I don't feel the cold so much here, maybe it's because we are more prepared.

Re: Move to Regina
 

So does the coldness come at a price we think heating costs here expensive roughly on our house gas an electric roughly $105 a month, how would that compare to a long cold winter?

Re: Move to Regina
 

We have a 1200sqft home and Gas is between $100 & $150 per month and electric is the same, in the winter in the summer it goes down to about $80 - $100 per month.

Re: Move to Regina
 

That seems more expensive than here but guess u have lot colder winter. $105 is our combined gas and electric. Then our water would be $52 a month.
