Re: Moving to Canada to practise law? Is it realistic?

If you can get any work as a lawyer in The UK I would suggest not making the jump to Canada. Just my opinion as I made the move (was pushed) due to the last economic slump. If no slump, doubt I would...

Re: Wills and Probate - UK and Canada

I am sure the poster is referring to reciprocal tax arrangements between Canada and The UK as to assets, capital gains, income tax...etc for non-residents.

There is no actual 'death tax' in BC...

Re: Police above the law?

I once wrote to Santa complaining about the PCBs in my Chinese made toy.

Months went by with no response. I was totally shocked.

2 years in Northern BC...and staying.

We recently crossed this threshold.

I have the following comments:

1) Life is more simple in Canada compared to The UK.
2) The cost of living, when factoring in higher wages in Canada, is not...

Re: gay couple separation

In BC, live 2 years in sin, and you're in. Same rights as a married couple under BC legislation (sexual orientation is irrelevant).

My read of the OP's facts was that they have a civil union in...

Re: Letters of consent and travelling with children

Re: Letters of consent and travelling with children

That only works with property such as motor vehicles. Total BS with children. People routinely 'have' their children with them when the court has ordered exactly the opposite.
