I am an immigrant that came to Canada 10 years ago. I am married and have 2 kids 6 years and 20 months. I lived in Japan before for almost 4 years and before that in South America where I am originally from. Health, Education and Economy are not perfect, but they are definitely one of the higher in the world. Weather might not be the best, but you can get used to the winter. Multiculturalism is something you must value in this land of immigrant. Moving to Canada was a great decision.

IN my line of work (construction) it would be difficult to get a firm job offer prior to being in Canada and thats the biggest hurdle. The risk of moving out and not finding employment.

Hi
Try the emigrate2 website theres a list of jobs you can apply for before you get out there. Some of them are agencies that want to charge you an arm and a leg for a job offer but we got lucky with a job offer in Calgary and we moving out in Feb.

Good Luck

No, Toronto is not warmer than other parts of Canada. In fact, the winters are bitterly cold. Further south in Ontario (eg. Windsor) is warmer. However, Vancouver and Victoria, on the west coast, have far warmer winters than Toronto.

We live in Manitoba,plenty of sunshine but it does get cold in the winter,up to -40,on average -20.Toronto gets a lot of rain and gets cold,colder in fact IT FEELS colder than Manitoba as its a damp cold in Toronto,where here its a dry cold.

Suggest southern BC,Kewlona,oakanagan valley.

Dont think that Canada is the land of milk and honey,its not,but we like it.If you can get into the US,that where I would go.
