That's a complete Canadianism, so you're obviously picking up the verbal lingo!

I have no excuse, I spent the better part of my life in London (over 30 years) and I really should know better..so I'm going to hang my head in shame here and not blame my fellow Canadians! lol!

After all those posts, i dont think OP will be applying anyway now! lol

I think as long as you know Canada is going to be different, there isnt a problem, as so many people have said before there has to be a pull from Canada along with a push from the UK.

I had both the push and the pull, and i enjoy my life more in Canada than i did in the UK, but i was prepared for the winter (which in Ontario is 4 months winter and 4 months summer) with 4 "inbetweeney" months. I was also prepared for the culture change, food offerings, i dont miss any food from the UK and I dont miss what could be sometimes just hostile and cutting humour from the UK, which I never found that funny, although i do agree some Canadians dont get even get straight forward sarcasm, but i have been lucky enough to find plenty of Canadian friends and work colleagues that do.

Everyone has had a different experience from moving here, the main thing is know what your getting yourself into before hand, and make sure that PULL from Canada is there, and actually stronger than the push from the UK and you will settle in fine.
