Should my family emigrate to Canada from England?

Question

Should my family emigrate to Canada from England?

Answer 1

Absolutely come to Canada. It is wonderful here and there is always work for those who want to work. Where I live is a small community of 20,000 or so people in British Columbia. BC is known for it's beautiful mountains, trees and water of which this town has plenty of. Visit this website to learn about our town and what we have to offer.....www.powellriverdirect.com this is a great place to raise a family and enjoy nature, art and culture, friendships and opportunity. Sounds like a sales pitch, but we came here a few years ago and absolutely love it and feel safe raising our kids here compared to the huge city we used to live in. Good Luck with whatever you choose.

Answer 2

i would go for it.if i was young enough like the two of you are i would be out of this country like a shot,maybe not Canada but somewhere else.If it doesn't work out you still have most of your live's left to try somewhere else or come back here,at least you had the balls to try.

Good luck

Answer 3

I think moving to Canada is an excellent idea. There are more opportunities for your child when they grow up as England is becoming over crowded, and there don't seem to be many opportunities.



It might take a while to get used to living in a new place, but it is worth it!



You could also consider Australia, they are desperate for anyone who has a skill especially engineering and hairdressing!!

Answer 4

Just make sure your educational credentials are in fact transferable to Canada, otherwise you'll end up driving a cab and writing an article about how canada sucks. (refer to notcanada.com. ) Canada and England are basically siblings (we both follow the british system) so I don't think you'll have any problems with that. Most of the sob stories in notcanada originate from 'real' immigrants and are mainly caused by the fact that they can't get jobs in Canada because their educational credentials are not valid/up to standard.



To lower the risk of failure, I'd probably find a job before even considering moving to Canada. If not, $45,000 will probably only last you maybe a couple months especially if you live in an expensive city like Toronto.



Other then that, Canada is one of the best countries to live in. We're made up of a little bit of 'everybody' so people here are generally more torelant and friendly compared to other countries.

Answer 5

im sick of england ,to much drinking and chavs

Answer 6

Youl being doing yourself a favour if you go to Canada (And thats coming from a English person)



A very nice play is the city Halifax, Nova Scotia - very nice place.

Answer 7

i've been to canada and its a great place! i met some really nice people there and they've got good heath care there. i would suggest going. im from the USA but canada is really nice! hope i helped :D

Answer 8

Canada seems like a good idea considering the fact the U.S. is having difficulties right now

Answer 9

I love England the people and its landscape. I am surprised why people of UK move to America or Canada from England.

Answer 10

I'm sure there will be jobs for fully qualified heating engineers in a place like Canada. If I were you, I'd go for it. If it doesn;t work out you can always come back but if you dont try it you will always wonder...............

Answer 11

Well, I am pretty disillusioned with the US right now, but I do not want to move to Canada. Why not stay and change things..start a movement! Stranger things have been done. IN fact, we, as a nation, were disillusioned with England at one time and made a few changes. Reading your question, and writing some stupid reply , has given me the courage to start my own movement.."Kick Bush's Butt out of office and into Canada." I actually think this one is going to work.

Answer 12

I have been to Canada twice, only for a holiday I know,but I do have relatives who emigrated to Canada some time ago.

I say go ahead with the move, if you don't you will always be thinking in the future, if only. My relatives have been over for visits twice in the last 4 years, and each time have stressed how glad they were to move, saying no amount of money would entice them to come back to Britain.

Every country has it's problems, but Britain has now more problem's than most, and as I see it, things can only get worse.

A bad government over the last 11 years has seen to that.

Good luck if you do decide to go.

Answer 13

Well I can tell you this, save up as much money as you can before coming, once you get here it will be worth about double what it is now. The stuff you can buy....oh wow!





I would recommend not returning to that site. it's a load of crap. This country is great. yes there are downsides, as there are everywhere. But it is still amazing, and I think the pros WAY outweigh the cons. If you are looking for a good engineering job (although available and sought after almost everywhere) I would look out in Alberta/BC. That is where are highest paying jobs are. The Alberta winters can be pretty brutal but it is definately worth it. I'm heading out there myself next year.



Good luck!



p.s. Someone said $45,000 won't get you far, They didn't do the conversion. lol I'm guessing you put it in pounds. So that would be about $90,000 in Canada.

Answer 14

Yes, but only if you are able to come back and visit. You will love life in Canada but you will become home sick and miss friends. Also the countryside is different in Canada and you will start to miss the landscape and the people of the UK. Keep your English accent. You could always move to France if you are willing because there are many international schools. Canada seems a bit too far away. Stay this side of the Atlantic. You could move to Germany but if you do want to move far away, I would recommend Singapore because it is so diverse.

Answer 15

I would visit it more and talk to the people...A LOT! I am in Canada an average of 3 weeks/year. I love visiting, but I would NEVER live there. Their taxes are horrible. Their health care system is worse.



A lot of good people (as long as you avoid Montreal unless you are fluent in French) and a lot of beauty, but they have a LOT of problems economically. Anyone there who can afford to crosses the border for health care and willingly pays for it.



I also spend an average of a couple of weeks a year in England. Beautiful place, but I do not think I would live there, either. If I only had a choice between the two, I would pick England, though.



Texas...I do not know anyone who has been to Canada (more than a quick drive through) would would move from the US to Canada, unless they were running from the law.



boaty...that is funny. I will sum up what you said. "Canada is so bad that more people are moving out than those moving in and being born combined" GREAT reason to move there...NOT! A declining population will cause jobs to evaporate and property values do plummet. An economist, you just aren't.



chebra...I sat with a close friend and her son in a doctor's office for over 7 hours while her son was running out both ends. I had to force him to keep drinking or he would have definately dehydrated, and possibly died waiting for a doctor. This is not rare there. Wait times are long, quality of care sucks. You have no idea how bad their system has become. It was great when it started, but doomed to failure from the start.



Don...ARE YOU KIDDING? Halifax is the armpit of Canada (Montreal is the butt hole)



alicia...you have it there. If I were to move to Canada, it would be BC. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I love visiting there.

Answer 16

Ive never been to england but a lot of indiginous folk (somehow im guessing you are) are shutting up shop and getting out of here. Australia and canada seem to be the preferred places. Would you care to speak your mind as to why you would want to leave?

Answer 17

Move into the United States, Alaska is amazing if your into Canada. I have to say it's not like people from other countries invision it.

Answer 18

erm about this notcanada.com website. its jsut the opinions ofa few people and thats it.



i recently read that canada has a shrinking population so its actually going to be a good place for jobs and things soon.



theres all this stuff about americas economy at the minute tho, so i guess thatll be affecting canada too.

Answer 19

Here's a funny thing. Americans always talk about leaving for Canada and Canadians talk about leaving Canada for Europe:)
