Re: We are here....at last!!!
Congratulations! Hubby and I are landing at Pearson 11th July, so hoping that it will be as quick as yours! We are moving to Cambridge, not far from Waterloo. We are coming back to the UK, after 2 weeks as hubby's bonus is in November, and moving perm as from 5th April 2010.
Good luck with everything!

Re: We are here....at last!!!
are you in Canada or still waiting? Took 2.5 years! Def worth the wait as it gets away from expenses, Gordon brown and all the crime wave hitting our streets!!!! 
Yes we are here, arrived a month ago. I see you are from Larkfield - small world!!

Re: We are here....at last!!!
I got here just over 2 weeks ago, now I tell myself the real work begins...adjusting to the differences, finding work etc...
But like you Im here now, its a nice feeling to know you have made the first BIG leap. So with a good dose of focused determination and an open mind wel'l get there!! Home is just familiarity.
Hey I notice your just up the road in Waterloo? Haven't visited Waterloo yet.
All the best

I visited for the first time on Tuesday
!! My OH has a job at RIM so Waterloo is an ideal location for us, we move into a rental next week and hope to buy something in the next few weeks. I've been to Cambridge a few times, initially we were going to move there until Kevin got the job at RIM its a nice city.Best of luck - let us know how you get on!
