Re: Would I have a better life in Canada

My apartment cost 890,000 Canadian dollars to buy. I put down 25% downpayment. Switzerland is not cheap! Most people here have a 100 year mortgage and then pass the mortgage on to their children when...

Re: Would I have a better life in Canada

Did you have the same job all that time? Which city do you live in?

Do Canadians have the same work ethics as Americans?

Re: Would I have a better life in Canada

Thanks for this advice. I will leave two months in advance then, in January 2014.

I am dead nervous! Did it take you long to find work when you first arrived?

Thanks!

Re: Would I have a better life in Canada

Hello Lancaster,

I landed in Canada in Toronto in March 2011. So it gives me until March 2014 to land in Canada, isn't that right?

Thanks,
Louise
