We are currently on PEI and are also planning our escape to Alberta early next year. Have you decided if Lethbridge is for you? We are trying to decide if Calgary is a risk with the current job market but saying that it’s 100% better than the PEI job market! or if Edmonton is a safer option.

We only came to PEI as we came over under the Atlantic immigration pilot program. We thought we would give it a couple of years to try to see if we would get on her. But to be honest we really do not like it, we are stuck in dead end jobs with no hope of getting anything else. As you will know the job market is really bad. The cost of living and housing compared to the salaries is really hard going. We pay $1,700 per month for a small 3 bed house with water included. Looking at rentals in Calgary and Edmonton we can get a much bigger house for around the same. We have looked at the cost of living for a family of 4. It’s on par for groceries only difference is the higher wages and much lower tax in Alberta. We were planning on going around May time but we are now looking at March. When are you going?

We are driving, we are getting a UHaul which my hubby will drive and I will drive our car. Where do you live in PEI? Were in C’Town.
