    And now, the wait begins....

    My application for permanent residency in Canada arrived in Nova Scotia this morning.

    Only three years to go and I can say goodbye to the UK. Hopefully in that time I can work out how to tell the in-laws and parents that we're moving......

    Why Canada? At least make it interesting like Australia if you are going to move.

      1 - Canada doesn't require a job before you get your visa

      2 - Canada is welcoming and easier to get PR or citizenship than Australia.

      3 - Canada is much closer than Australia, so makes the move away from grandparents easier.

      4 - I have family in Canada

      5 - Australia has too many things that can kill you

      6 - Canada is pretty much self-sufficient in terms of energy, water and natural resources

      7 - I like Canada

      8 - Canada isn't full of obnoxious Australian tw@ts

      They seem like pretty good reasons to me

        pretty good reasons FaQQer, but watch out for number 5.

        I have a mate who moved out to Canada and things were going perfectly, until one winter. He went out in the yard to empty the bin in minus 20, and his hand froze to the bin lid. By the time they got to him it was too late and he lost some fingers and a lot of muscle.

        just be careful, thats all I'm saying

          Interesting? Australia? Only if you're a brain dead cretin.

              Agreed. If Singapore doesn't work out, Canada is next on the list.

                  You seem to have lots of thick mates. Why wouldn't you wear gloves in -20?
