Re: American seeks asylum in Canada

That doesn't sound equal at all. Unless your idea of balance involves the US reaping all the benefits while Canada absorbs all the downside. Canadians whose priority is to get that $10K bump their...

Re: American seeks asylum in Canada

Because such a plan would be madness when implemented for just two countries, one of which is 9 times the population of the other and with wildly different social programs. The EU can manage it...

Re: Might have cold feet....

I would agree with the "you'll regret not giving it a try" sentiment if this were their first time contemplating a move abroad.

Re: Moving to Mississauga

It's a lower-density suburb unlike anything you will find in the UK. You will likely need to drive a lot.

Re: Renting in France - possible Sticky?

Re: Renting in France - possible Sticky?

I've seen apartments advertised on pap.fr as small as 14 square metres in size. Presumably these advertised apartments were legal. Would hate to see how small an ILLEGALLY small apartment would be....

Re: Sacrifices you made when emigrating?.. Difficult choices...
