Re: Why should we move to Canada?
be careful! i was out of a job for ages and was offered $9/hr by agencies doing warehouse work!! and thats even after telling them i was a graduate with a BSc in engineering! apparently, i was told there are hundreds of graduates, even doctors for overseas, whose qualifications are not recognised here and are all driving taxis around downtown toronto!! i was fortunate that i had substantial savings which i lived on, rather than doing menial work, but i would have taken any job at the end, had my money run out!

The ONLY thing I'm beginning to miss is my professional job and my permanent contract with the BBC from which I resigned, and we moved here. I don't regret it, but now that our savings are disappearing fast, and I have not found a proper job, I just miss the financial (sort of) security I had there. Though my Lloyds TSB credit card had a balance of 8 grands, but .... anyway I'll find a professional job soon, I have to find a job!
