hi to every 1, is there anyone out there who could help me please. im thinking about moving to canada i am a foot health practioner sac-dip registered similar to a chiropidist, does anyone know the org or practise i would need to contact thank you very much, and what is calgary like for british ex-pats cheers.

Calgary sucks for Brit-expats
UNLESS you're prepared to wear plaid, cowboy hats and spurs

Marmite can be difficult, but not impossible, to find. There are no Walkers crisps. Very few decent curry houses and I haven't found a fish & chip shop worth writing home about yet. Chicken is expensive and you will think that all banks rip you off.

Now we have most Brit ex-pats' concerns out of the way, there is no better place to live, in my very biased opinion. I am sure you will love it.

You forgot theres No bisto and the footy's never on at the right time

Hi,

Calgary and surrounds - great - despite the drawbacks quite correctly highlighted by the previous posters!

As for the foot stuff, a couple of quick Google searches brought up the following...maybe not quite what you are looking for but might give you a head-start on research.

Hope these are of some use. Good luck.

Hi Keelo,

Welcome to the forum. I can't really answer your questions, I'm in Calgary but I've only been here a month so not really qualified to comment - but for what it's worth, so far I really like it - much, I'm sure though, depends on your lifestyle, what you're looking for and where in the city you live.

I have found marmite with no problem (Canadian Superstore) and I think most things you can't get have a reasonable substitute - If you can't make gravy without Bisto there's always maple syrup

If you have a look on the Maple Leaf there's a thread 'Who's up for drikies and hellos in Calgary' (or something like that). In post #6 of that thread Judy gives some good tips to someone asking about Calgary.

Hope this helps.
