Just out of interest, what made you choose Canada?

I guess this is a question to those that didn't have a specific reason to move there such as a spouse or job offer.

I killed a few people in Texas. As Texas is a death penalty state I knew that Canada would not extradite me to face "the chair". Therefore Canada seemed like a better choice than, say, Mexico.

Got the opportunity and decided I'd regret it if I didn't try...

I came for the cheese and wine and never left.

I got seconded and now trying to make the best out of rather distasteful situation. At least it's not Eastern Europe.

Canada chose me by way of the ex wife being Canadian. Then I stayed, then went back to the US, then back to Canada.

I honestly had no thought, desire or interest of immigrating. Just kind of happens sometimes.

Did it to p*ss my ex off...well a little bit. Was going to join him in Toronto but he decided he wanted someone else, so I went on vacation to Vancouver, liked it and decided to apply for working holiday visa and I'm still here now...waiting to hear if I can make it my home permenantly

Get away from the cheap tempting cheeses and bacon, not good for my circulation:@(

Real reason?

(Work) Money, job, biggish near lake house, lifestyle change as in I am not in a pub every night

Same here but unfortunately Aussie added 5 points to their qualifying points total, just as were applying. Actually glad they did now.

The wife's name starts with a C so for her it was either Canada, China, Chile or Cambodia.

I would've preferred the Caymans.
