Re: should we move or shouldnt we?
But the cost of going to university depends on what university they go to, for example, tuition at UBC (vancouver) tends to be around $5000 and up but if they go to a cheaper school like the University of regina it tends to be around $4000 and the accomodation is cheaper.

Well that was just the tuition and it is a per semester rate, honestly she might very well be paying more, I just took a quick look at ubc's website which is how I came up with the figure.
But yeah, what you pay depends on the course and where you go to school.

Re: should we move or shouldnt we?
My husband has been offered a job nr Vancouver. We recently went out to visit the place. We both loved it. But with 3 children in tow it is a very difficult decision to make. We are interested in anyone out there who has done the move from England to Canada but who has come back. We have lots of advantages for going out there but would love to hear from people who for whatever reason, ended up coming back. Thank you for your help!

I don't know what the costs are in the UK these days but the cap of UKP3,000 mentioned above suggests that it's less than some community college courses in Canada and there's the possibility of living at home while attending college (admittedly a bad idea), that's not something that's likely to happen here unless the family lives in one of the three cities.

Re: should we move or shouldnt we?
We moved to Canada (Montreal) August 2009 and heading back in Feb 2011. We had a number of reasons for deciding to head back but financial reasons and my partners job satisfaction were the main ones. We don't have children at this point in time 
Feel free to PM me if you want a chat... It's a difficult decision to make. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Not if them children want educatin'. University is likely to cost considerably more in Canada or the US than in Europe. Not if any of the family has, or will have, a condition required the continued purchase of medication. Not if continnued contact with family in the UK is desired.
Family can be a huge loss and can lead to unexpected costs such as child minding, but i thought that would have been bleedin obvious.
Education i have no idea but managed to get a degree without to much fuss
God you are tiresome

What ever....most half decent employers have a medical plan, even tim hortons. I have been here 17 years never paid a single dime, none nada zip, zilch, on me teeth or me health and that includes my ex who had Lupus. Talk about sweeping generalizations.

I love you too*. However, at $850 a millimetre I found getting the kids "American teeth" to be expensive. I find travelling back for funerals and the like to be bothersome and expensive. I've spent a lot on education. I think these legitimate points of concern in considering emigrating.

yes, moving away comes with baggage. After 21 years out of the UK I hardly need to be told that. It comes down to choices, including cosmetic dentistry.
Some may choose never to go back. Your lot in life is not everyone's you know
