I hope you don't mind me posting on what is an expats forum.
I'm doing the BUNAC visa thingy in Septmeber and its realy hit me with this overwhelming sensation. I have never ever done anything like this in my life and although excited I'm very very scared. My lovely OH will be with me so its not like I'm doing it on y own but still my head hurts from so much emotion. We are using this time to see if we want to emmigrate in the future. My OH has always wanted to and agreed to this year away so we(i) can see if its something we both want to do. If we do then I guess when we return we will begin the immigration process. Although some people say we prob wont return but I can never think that far ahead at the moment. I'm living in limbo until September and just want to vent to some people who undertsand the emotions rather than telling me I'm silly!
So although I'm not technically emmigrating its still a big move for me and hats off to those of you doing it.
Hope you dont mind the rather pointless post

I hope you have an amazing time in Canada... I think it's normal to feel nervous, so don't worry yourself about being worried!

Good luck

Its not a pointless post at all.

You are doing BUNAC, so you are young. You have plenty time to live in Canada, then move on to another country, or go back to the UK,or back to Canada. Who knows where life and adventure will take you? Dont be confined by plans and what ifs, just enjoy the moment.

Good luck and I'm sure you'll have a Fantastic time. My first exposure to Canada was with BUNAC some ten years ago and now, a decade later, I'm back for good as a resident.

It's a great scheme and I'd encourage anyone to take advantage as it's the easiest visa you'll ever get hold of!

Thanks, well Im 28 and im sure it will be fine, im just a born worrier.does not matter how many times people tell me not to, I do!
But thank you anyway for reading, it seems silly now I have wrote it down but I think its nice to get other peoples views on it rather than from people you know.

Hey Silverbug! As you know I'm doing Bunac too, and hopefully in September as well! I know where you are coming from, 'overwhelming' is a good word to sum it all up I think.
Some days I am so excited about leaving for Canada I can hardly sit still! Other days I think "what the hell am I doing? I have a good life here, am I about to screw it all up?"
Today is a bad day, I almost don't want to go. I'm panicing that I won't be able to get a job quickly enough, and therefore will not have any $$$$ to live on. I'll be staying at a hostel or B&B so when the money runs out I have no where to sleep! I'm trying to get a 2nd job right now which would help, but it's hard seeing as I already work full time. Right well, I've hijacked your thread & now I'm depressing myself!
On a positive note, I think this is an opportunity that may never come around again, grab it with both hands! I'm young (ish 27) & I get this sinking feeling when I think about not taking any chances & living to regret it. Plus you have an OH coming with you - you are very lucky!
