Here's my brief bio.
Hi I am Louise, orginally emigrated to Canada from the UK in 2003, I was the primary applicant under the skilled worker category. Came with my husband and son (Oliver 18 months at the time)
Six weeks after arriving had a major family tragedy which threw me into complete turmoil, homesickness, dilemma, etc etc. Really took the edge off of our exciting move, and I just felt unsettled after that.
Anyway was offered a really good job back in UK in 2005 so returned there for a couple of years. Got bored with life there, and came back to Canada, (Canmore AB) in 2007. Now settled and very happy
I am glad I had the spell back in UK because it helped me to quantify what I really wanted and how I was going to get it. I would be quite happy living in UK or Canada I love them both.
I really look forward to sharing your journeys !!
hi everyone. time to introduce.

my name is teresa and i live in scotland with my husband and 2 kids (6&7) and dog.

been thinking about canada for a while now. i visited vancouver for a couple of days in 1996 while on work experience in nw america.

getting started is troublesome - not enough money to go through an agent. deciding where to go. what will the family think if we leave and reading the immigration advice sites is confusing at best with so many ways of entering the country and differing requirements depending on your skill level.

is all the time money and stress worth it in the end??
