Re: Why Canada?
Many things: primarily the surroundings (I'm referring to BC), a culture that embraces the arts a bit more, generally a more positive attitude. I'm not saying everything is better (because I don't think it is), but quite a few things that are important to me personally are better. Where you live and whether it makes you happy is something that very much changes from individual to individual....what one person hates, another one loves, and vice versa. Since early childhood I had a fascination with Canada and I have no idea where it came from. We chose Canada for our honeymoon thinking it would be a one-off, only to find ourselves returning every year for 8 years. No other destination we looked at seemed to tick all our boxes. We move in August after a stressful, drawn out 4 year long immigration process - we have entered via the self-employed/business route, so when we land we will find ourselves with no home and no job!

The weather resembled London, and the housing prices were cheaper back then (in 92' when we first relocated ourselves to Whiterock, BC.)

I was offered a place to study here, and here I am. It's been a brilliant opportunity.

Re: Why Canada?
i was a somewhat trailing spouse at the time, ex was born here, wanted to move back. I thought I'd give it a go. Canada was never on my list of places I'd like to visit/live 
. I was actually ruminating about Morocco at the time ...
I applied for & got PR via QSW under my own steam, and here I am. Still.
Seriously considered leaving several times, & actually did once (with daughter in tow), but came back rather fast as daughter mutinied.

Re: Why Canada?
I am, sort of, serious. I think it was the sight of two burly white construction workers sitting cross legged on the sidewalk eating their lunch with chop sticks out of a bento box that first had Mrs. JonboyE thinking that maybe this was a place she could settle down.
