You have no idea, It is with a heavy heart we leave ireland, but I think it is like saying, I like this boat and I bet we can make it float, when you were on the titanic, you know.

I'm not Irish, but I thought I'd chime in. Saskatoon is pretty nice. I just moved to Saskatoon last year from Edmonton (where I lived for 10 years). The cost of living here is on the mid-low end of the scale, heaps cheaper than Toronto or Vancouver. and about the same is Edmonton, Winnipeg, Regina & Calgary. The winters here are brutal! But then again I'm Australian and im used to +30C every day

Good luck in Canada!

Wow that must have been some shock to the system. I am looking forward to saskatoon. Nice change from the small town we live in now.

The prices look good over there. The people seem friendly.
The winter I am slightly worried about. My other half is polish and she is well used to long long cold winters. For us irish, it is just always autumn or spring. no real summer

Congratulations, now you can apply for your permanent residency, you should have gotten all the info from the pnp people with your letter of nomination, it's relatively easy but the waiting is the hardest, best of luck to you all, I remember the excitement this time last year as we prepared to come here and now we are almost a year here and life is good so best wishes.

The winter on the west side of the country is a bit milder than in the east. granted we still experiance -25-30C for a couple weeks every Winter. But thankfully the Summers are hot.
Too hot for some Canadians I've noticed :P

Within the last few weeks they have changed the driving licence requirements, Irish licence holders just have to exchange for a Canadian licence, makes moving a little easier.
