Defunct UK Child Trust Funds

We emigrated to Canada in May 2014, and managed to get all of our affairs in order. Well, all except for one really annoying thing: the children's Child Trust Funds. They are currently held with...

Re: Brazolot Migration Group BMG

I used BMG and they were great. Expensive, but they took all the worry away for us. It took 4.5 years, but we received our PR cards Feb 28th this year, and landed May 4th.

Re: Lonely in Cochrane

Thanks guys. I've taken everything on board. Was having a super bad day. I've started training to drive the yellow school buses, so that should get me out in the community more. I've had a couple of...

Lonely in Cochrane

My husband and I moved to Cochrane in May this year, so we have been here 3 months. I love Canada, and finally starting to think of it as home. The only downside is that, being a stay-at-home Mum is...

Re: Advice on where in Canada to move to please!

If you like hot summers and snowy winters + skiing, then I think Alberta is the state for you. Calgary is probably the best city for you both, and Cochrane seems to be full of British Police for some...

Re: Canadian bank account

We opened an account with RBC before we arrived, then set it up properly on arrival. We were up and running sharpish, with no messing about. Would highly recommend.

Re: Alberta residents - can I pick your brains please?

Re: Do you care about the British royal family?

Apparently, they are good for our tourist industry. :confused:
