We are bringing Stephens eldest child but we think his youngest won't be allowed to come so we'll have upset and anxiety whilst we leave England and settle in Canada. It will be hard for me to leave my parents also.

Hi, I'm Caroline

I'm a doctor from the UK, thinking about moving to Canada. I'm just finishing my F2 year here in England and am not sure how to get into the Canadian medical system. My boyfriend is an OT also from UK. He is v keen on moving out to Vancouver and he already looked into finding work before we met so he has done the relevant exams. But I'm struggling to find info about the medical system. Any ideas?!

Hi all,

Am Omoelle

From Nigeria, almost at the final stage of Canadian immigration.


Good to ave found this site

I am a US and Irish citizen, now living in the USA, who has an attractive job offer in the greater Toronto metro area.

I am a retired journalist now serving as an Eastern Orthodox Christian priest.

The job would provide a small stipend in addition to my US retirement income, plus supplemental health insurance. I am thinking of also hanging onto my US health insurance to give myself the option of having a major procedure done in the states if necessary.

I am interested in taxation, mass transit within Toronto metro and the cost of living, especially with the VAT plugged in.

Hi everyone,

This is a great thread. My situation is I am a British Canadian living in Sunderland, England & I have lived in the UK for most of my life. My parents moved there in the 60’s had me then moved back to England when I was only a few years old which is why I have the dual nationality.

I am 47 yrs now and the doom a gloom of the UK and Europe has made me look at Canada as maybe a better place to live. I cant see things here improving for a long time and at 47 I will have to make the move now more or less.

My problem is I don’t know anyone over there and I don’t have a trade etc which would open doors for me. I have the Canadian passport so no worries re my trying to apply for a visa but I just cant see or decide what would be the best strategy for me moving to Canada. From what I can see on the various threads are people have some type of skill or trade which then gets them a job prior to moving. This is the ideal start as you are earning dollars straight away and it will help with regard to knowing what lies ahead.

I have a decent education and I have a wealth of work experience which includes running my own business to being a police officer here in England.

Do any of you have any advice for someone like me? I don’t have any particular place in Canada in mind and I am thinking my best chance is finding a place where there is plenty of work meaning I can apply for as many jobs as possible.

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 !!
