Taking the first step.
 
Hi fellow travelers on the immigration/emigration path!

We are a couple from the East Midlands considering a move to Nova Scotia. Other half is in the drug and alcohol field and I am an Humanist celebrant conducting weddings, namings and funerals. We have followed the trials and tribulations of you all over the last few months and now realise that it is very likely going to be a long and frustrating process. But hey, if you want something enough, you have to be prepared to work for it as they say.

We are hoping to go down the skilled worker route or PNP and are traveling to Halifax on the 19th March to stay a couple of months to do our research in a little more depth. We will no doubt be picking your collective brains once we start the ball rolling, so any gems of wisdom/practical advice will be most welcome. :huh:

Best wishes for your future endeavours into the 'Curious world of all things Canadiana.'

Invest in a good supply of tranquilisers and quality alcohol (actually, meths would do the trick just as well :p )

Wouldn't dream of it. Solitary drinking is a bit sad don't you think?
