Re: Why do you want to move to Canada
The O E C D has put out a report today, pointing specifically to Canada as a country that urges immigration, but does not provide opportunity for new immigrants. It may have been different for the few on here that are adamant about their own successes. But these are very different times, and Canadian society is far less welcoming than it was in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. The ex Brits who have been lucky enough to have established themselves here already (at least 20 years) are happy enough, no doubt. However, anyone in Britain currently thinking of leaving the UK for Canada should do themselves a favour and stay put. There is absolutely no point in giving up what you have in the UK for what is available in Canada.

If the people on this forum are anything to go buy a collective return would lower the average IQ in the UK.

Don't say that! Think off all the poor colonial types out here who haven't had the good fortune to have been born in Britain. If the Brits stop emigrating Canada will fall to pieces within a few years. You should be encouraging people to sacrifice their contented lives, secure in Britannia's bosom, to bring peace, stability and modern development to this wasteland. It can be yet another gift of Britain to the peoples of the world.

Well yes. Like the South Africans are doing.
