I will look forward on your advise thanks.....Phil

Most of Canada has a similar law system to the UK , you do not want French rammed down your throat ? Stay away from Quebec , many anglo proffessionals are moving out of Quebec because of this 'French is best' syndrome . A grand-daughter of mine is a police officer in Ontario and she is doing very nicely thank you , it is a wealthy province with good opertunities , but the winters (starting now) can get very cold . Do not let this put you off however because everything is geared up for hot and cold climates , homes , stores , cars , sports , practically everything you may become involved in . good luck in your endeavours which ever province you decide on .

Housing was cheap by comparison to Ontario and the cost of liveing lower , but they are like 1 big family that look after thier own , few are without work of some kind but it is usually given to 'Scotians ' i was well liked , but an 'outsider 'the whole time i was there .

I live in Nova Scotia and not too far (1hr away) from New Glasgow, heard that from a lady in Walmart that had just moved to that area. We have not found that at all and have been welcomed with open arms. Just shows that there can be differences within a few miles or between different towns.
