Re: Anyone flown to Canada with a proof of previous positive COVID-19 PCR test?

I've been living back in the UK for three years now but still fly back at least once a year to visit my mother. As soon as I land...

Re: Getting A Job in the UK while in Canada

You are in a completely different field of work than I am so I can't say how it is for the NHS but it's certainly possible in some fields. I recently got a job in the UK while still in Canada. I got...

Re: Whats the Canadian Economy like at the moment?

I am not sure about the general sentiment but if you do investigate more I would suggest looking at hard figures as much as possible, if you can find any reliable and comparable data that is. There...
