Where to move to in Canada?
 

I think Canada might be a cool place to move to. I haven't applied for a visa yet, but I'm saving up very hard.

Does it get cold in the winter? I've heard Canadian houses are made of wood - are they all like log cabins and are they warm? If it gets cold in winter, do they still have a footie season?

Does all of Canada have electricity?

I've done searches on the forum and I've come up with a lot of placenames I haven't heard of - one that seems to get mentioned is Iqaluit - is that anywhere near Toronto?

Thanks in advance

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

Actaully, houses in Canada are called igloos and they are made out of ice. Canada does have a form of foot except you throw the ball instead of kicking it. We have to burn whale blubber in order to make electricity. In order to get to Iqaluit from Toronto, you just hop on the subway, transfer at the Moose Jaw station and head north.

Hope this helps!

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

No need for sarcasm.

I couldn't find Iqaluit on the transit map, I can't find Moose Jaw either.

There's way too much negativity round here.

Try the search facility at the top of the page.

This subject has been gone into in vast detail many times before.

And Moose Jaw is in Sasketchewan.

Probably a 800 pound power lifter from Crawley ....

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

Have you been there?

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

I, along with most people in this world, have not been there.

Hi Clueless

If the search feature doesn't come up with much for you, you'll see a few threads at the bottom of the page that might help you out. Also, if you just browse previous pages on the Canada forum, you'll probably run across the info you are looking for. You wouldn't know as you are new around here, but your thread question gets posted every few weeks.

In answer to a couple of your questions, as far as BC is concerned, most of our houses are built of wood. Eastern Canada, from what I understand, also has more brick residential buildings. Wish footie was available more here, but periodically you might be lucky enough to find coverage of a match you want to see!! .... and yeah... we have electricity!!

Cheers

It's not Scotland you know! :scared:

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

It says the temperatures get low, would it be colder than Yorkshire?

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

The Queen and Prince Philip visited Iqaluit two years' ago.

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

No colder than the welcome at a Yorkshire pub wearing a red rose.


Minus 20 to minus 40 degrees C.

Do you consider that cold???

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

While most of Canada is colder in the winter than Yorkshire, it's not as depressing.

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

That sounds a bit chilly - is that all year or just in winter?

Does all of Canada have glaciers?

I saw a story on the news that says the Candian glaciers are melting - are you getting a lot of flooding?

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

It's bedtime here, you've given me lots to think about - night-night.

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

No flooding, the world is flat so its just a small ocean somewhere.

Are you for real? Or just bored?

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

Here lifty we still have coin operated meters, 50 pence for an hours worth of elecmactricity, now thats not to bad and cheap enough !!!!

Sometimes I have to get her indoors to jump on the bike and pedal like mad to get the generator going for a wee bit longer. It works not to bad and it keeps her fit !!!!

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

Yes, the flooding is a very serious problem. The roads in Toronto are all under water. Today, I had to use my canoe to travel to my job at the maple syrup factory.

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

I know who it is ..my first "hunch" was right ..But I shan't say ...keep you folx guessing

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

I have!!! I left as fast as my leggies could carry me too. One night and that was my lot.

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

Ray, You tease you!

Eddie, I'm still lurking, but fed up of answering the same questions for the twelth time, and also in semi retirement like a certain grouchy scotsman.

Fun thread, but I have to go fill some sandbags to keep the rising floodwater out of the basement:) The six months of total darkness that started recently is a real inconvenience for that kind of thing, thankfully it will all freeze solid soon for the next 6 months, so I wont have to worry about it till spring, if my peers dont abandon me on an ice flow over the winter:D

If you are a driver, it`s got to be New Brunswick, as it`s the best of all that is good on this Earth ! And you can swap ya driver`s licence, no re-test ! Saskatchewan swap licences, but has an extremely high crime ratio in comparison to other provinces. Ontario swaps to, but you might as well live near London UK. if thats your bag !!! All other provinces, it`s re-test !!!
Gone Whale watchin` :beer:

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

New Brunswick is also good in that it has some of the cheapest housing prices in Canada - about 1/4 the price you would pay in Vancouver or Victoria.

Ontario is much more than Toronto. Beyond the cities, Ontario has some of the best rural life one can find anywhere in Canada.

Travelling for 3 hrs on your dog sled to visit your neighbours, have a cup of coffee with reindeer milk, and finally travel back for another 3 hours in complete darkness? :D

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

No! :rolleyes: Places like Hanover, Kincardine, Owen Sound, Goderich, Collingwood - and hundreds of other small communities - have their own charm.

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

What???
This posting a windup???
What the hell am I going to do with all that wood I have just bought for my Husky sheds?
Honestly you all wasting my time!
PS Any body want some tins of Beaver tail soup?

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

Absolutely right, great places to either visit or live - been to them all during my growing up years - with my parents having cottages there.

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

All part of being a "true Canadian"...... :D

Yep, BC has the honourable distinction of having the highest cost of living in Canada for another year.

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

lm a chinese american and considering vancouver because theres alot of chinese there. l figure itd be to my advantage because there will be others like me. l live in ohio where there arent too many chinese, and people have very little understanding about chinese. overall they dont really want to know anything about foreigners. ive also lived in new york, where theres a lot of chinese but it seemed like one big mess because the minorities would just turn against each other, and people didnt really cooperate.

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

Ha, ha, this thread is so funny. What are you like? Do they have electricity in Canada? Do you live in igloos?

Do you all use canoes now the glaciers are melting? ;) I guess you'd have to build your wooden houses on sticks, like the old campongs in Singapore.

That's it I'm outta here to have a coffee in the (modern) Tim Horton's mug my hubby brought me back from Calgary last year :p

Re: Where to move to in Canada?
 

I'm sorry, but are your questions really serious? I'm not trying to be rude, but you're actually asking if we have electricity everywhere in Canada??? C'mon!

Iqaluit is not near Toronto. It's in the territories and it's damn cold up there.

Please, Canada is a modern society. You're making it sound like we're third world!
