What would they do instead? If you're cold, hungry and poor in Canada you're not likely to be accepted as an immigrant to the Bahamas, you just have to shuffle back and forth to the foodbank in your slippers.

Re: Toronto's pretty Ugly compared to London
Yes, but how many are actually cold, hungry and poor and retired? Quite a lot maybe, but, not the majority of the 90% who don't head elsewhere I would be willing to bet.
Members of this site, whom I would have thought most bring some kind of trade/profession/education with them on immigration, are probably less likely to find themselves in the hungry and poor category on retirement.

One would like to think so but it depends on their age at emigration, the portability of their UK retirement plan and how lucky they are in investing in Canada; much of the money lost in the recent downturn was retirement savings.

Hi James,
If you need any more details/address etc about the Medical Centre at Thornton Heath, just let me know, I will send it to you.
Are you still thinking of going to Vancouver ? I initially looked into that city and it sounds good but I was told there are not alot of job opportunities there compared with Toronto or Montreal
P.S
Everyone,
I went to Westfield shopping centre, its amazing, its soooo big, very Feng shui, I felt so relaxed there. Mind you, you need to walk alot. I only saw 1/3 of the place

There is alot of places I have not yet seen or been. I am sure Alberta would be pretty cool too.
I'll personal message you when I need details of Thornton Heath.

Re: Toronto's pretty Ugly compared to London
Thanks for the info everyone.
I am just exploring the possibilities ahead of my time. I heard about 'the snowbirds'. West coast sounds good.
When I am dreaming, I pretend that I am living every alternate month in Toronto and London but I do at least 2 months of the year in Vancouver

One more question, sorry 
Does anyone know if Toronto subway system is going to be expanded further ? Does the subway run all night like NYC ?

The Subway in Toronto stops late on like in London, but the taxi's are cheaper.
I think they are expanding the subway to the airport but I may be wrong- someone else will no doubt correct me if I am.
