It's an internet newsgroup. I have as much right as you do to say what
I think on issues related to the topic discussed in the newsgroup. If you
don't like it, go to a moderated discussion forum.

There's a difference between putting your life in limbo and getting
yourself ready to go. Common sense things, like don't start a 5yr
university degree, don't sign a long-term lease on your home, start getting
your home ready for sale (i.e. Research realtors etc), sell those things
you've been planning on selling anyway. If you know you're going to be
moving, a reasonable person doesn't start entering into long term issues.
It's no different to starting a 6-month renovation project on your home,
knowing that it's for sale right now.
As an immigrant, I think it's an abuse of the system to land and then go
back to wherever for anything more than finalising your matters (1-3
months), and immigration laws should be changed to reflect that. Of course,
a better option would be for immigration laws to be changed so that people
have the chance to defer their landing (subject to meeting certain
requirements) for a certain period of time so that they may finish school,
work contracts etc. The present allowance is too short, IMNSHO, especially
considering how long it takes these days to process. However, once you
land, you should be required to be resident in Canada.
No, allinall...that's my opinion. If you don't like it, that's nice.
However, this is an internet newsgroup (and britishexpats.com is merely a
portal to that newsgroup, nothing more), so you certainly shouldn't tell
people that they are not permitted to voice their opinion.
This is my last post on this thread. All the best to you and yours.

Live and let live my friend, really it is better to help people than bashing them, specially when they are not doing something illegal.
What you mean to say with the whole issue about british- expats?. It makes me laugh. I didn't know I am a seocond-class poster because I use it. I just like the way it is organized.

I meant nothing other than the fact that British Expats is merely a
portal to a newsgroup. A large number of users from b-e seem to assume that
this newsgroup is a product of b-e. That is all.
