Good luck James, I'm sure your parents will be happy for you. I left my 80 year old mother and children behind and they were and still are very supportive.

I'm sure Edmonton will be all you want it to be

Good Luck James.....

Like you I'm 35, and arrived in Canada not so long ago on my own.

I'm loving it so far, and I got work quickly too, although I'm lookiing for a new job at the moment.....

I bed it's cold there, it's getting cold here in Van and we're meant to be the warmest city!!!!

Take care and keep in touch with how you get on!!!
