Re: Must I have a holiday out there first!!?

Yes, you will be making a big mistake if you fail to 'check out' Canada before you commit. There are many differences between Canada and England that do not appear on the surface. Climate, culture,...

Re: Any nice areas in Toronto ?

Re: Possible Criminal Conviction Issue

Re: Anyone in Canada heading back to the UK

I might have been a little too harsh.

At the time I really did not have a choice in becoming a Canadian citizen. I was just told to take the oath and shut up. I think that is/was my largest...

Re: Where to move to in Canada?

Re: Child Tax Benefit.

You have to love the McGuinty and Martin governments.
