Saskatoon is a great place. I have heard a lot about it. The housing prices fits in budget too.
Sorry, no advice on immigrating to Canada, other than I don't get the attraction, but then I was born and raised here, so probably just tired of the same old thing, but there are a lot of people on here who usually chime in with a reply to questions like yours, just might take a day or two, surprised the one's I am thinking of haven't done so yet.WOW that is cold, I think the contrast in seasons would be great but its difficult to know how I will cope without living through it.
Do you have any advice on immigration options?
Thanks, I suppose the same could be said here, we have alot of immigrants here but I dont get the attraction. I think the main attraction for me is similar earnings for a better standard of living and the amazing scenery and space.Sorry, no advice on immigrating to Canada, other than I don't get the attraction, but then I was born and raised here, so probably just tired of the same old thing, but there are a lot of people on here who usually chime in with a reply to questions like yours, just might take a day or two, surprised the one's I am thinking of haven't done so yet.
So IF I can get arranged employment what immigration programme do i apply under? How has your experience of Canada gone? Any regrets?You will have great difficulty getting a visa for Canada. You will require to have pre-arranged employment which will prove a very difficult process as there are many Canadians in real estate business.

You'd need to apply for a TWP (Temprary Work Permit) which is issued for 2years and is renewable and/or convertible to PR status.So IF I can get arranged employment what immigration programme do i apply under? How has your experience of Canada gone? Any regrets?
I'm born/raised in Canada. I camp weekends in the summer at a campground. The couple that camp next door to me is a retired couple from the UK who moved here around 15 years ago. I've had many conversations with them around UK vs Canada. They both indicated that they would never return to the UK to live. For whatever reasons he may have... he keeps insisting over and over that Canada has a better standard and quality of living than the UK and Canada is definitely no where as crowded. He says for example that in the UK he could never own a travel trailer (RV) the size that he has or that we burn wood for campfires for leisure. He also said a couple of weeks ago that when his brother and wife came to visit from the UK last year, they were amazed and shocked that on some highways they could travel for several miles before seeing another car or truck, where in many parts of the UK the traffic is bumper-to-bumper all the time.Thanks, I suppose the same could be said here, we have alot of immigrants here but I dont get the attraction.

Hi JPWThat's great to hear, its a daunting process so hearing its gone well for others does help.
My partner used to work in mortgage admin.
I have loads of questions about being a realtor over there so im really glad you posted. Can i pm you or something?
What do you do for a living in SA?Hi JPW
I would like to know how I can PM you as I think we are in very similar situations (from a family perspective and also from a moving to Canada perspective)
I am however from South Africa but I hope that we can possibly PM each other and assist each other with regards to achieving the goal of moving to Canada.
