Should i move to canada?

Question

Should i move to canada?

Answer 1

Sure! I am from the states and love it here.

You can immigrate easily if you don't have a criminal background.

You should apply for a work permit- Alberta has a labor shortage and is the richest province in the country but it is very conservative and VERY similar to the U.S. but it's pretty cool here.

Answer 2

it depends on why you want to move there. i visited canada last year, it's absolutely beautiful!!! lovely mountains and lakes, truely beautiful!

Answer 3

It depends on where you're from, but It's one of the world's greatest countries and is safe and welcoming.

Answer 4

If you're a US citizen, it's not as easy as just deciding you want to move there.  You need a permit to work there and it can be difficult to get, for one thing.

Better check an "official" Canadian government website to find out what's involved.

Answer 5

Answer 8

h**l If Canada Wants A Business Information Technologist, or a Junior VB.NET Programmer, or Web Designer, or Anyother IT Skill.... Im on my way!

Or h**l I will live in the far North in a log cabin, and live life the hard way!

Answer 9

Depends what you've got planned.

Where do you fancy and do you have anybody over there.

I spent the summer travelling from the East Coast to the West Coast a couple of years ago and loved it but it's so diverse that you'd need to have something specific in mind.

Vancouver and Vancouver Island is just like a mini postcard Britain - very pretty and lush.

The Rockies are amazing but you can travel for days across the plains (yes there was tumbling tumbleweed).

Ontario itself is very different - you've got Toronto which is a more laid back New York and at the other extreme is the lakes area where it's real redneck country with fishing, hunting and skidooing.

I found it very family orientated but inward looking. I was there at the time of the July bombings and the G8 summit and i only heard about what was going on by watching cable.

But you could say we're the same here

Myths about Canada you need to know about!

1. Free health care.

Canada's health care is not free. It is funded by a heavy tax

regime that takes hard earned money from even the working poor. If

you make $C20,000 a year. You will be taxed. Make more? Like $C75,000

and up? Oh, you can bet you will get hit with taxes. In some

provinces like Alberta, you also get the additional privilege of

paying health care "premiums" on top of your taxes.

The big hospital unions like the Registered Nurses and various

so-called "para-professionals" have taken over the health care

system and destroyed it. This is what happens when you create a

a monopoly, and worse, a government owned monopoly.

2. High standard of living

Huh? Since when? This country has one of North America's biggest

drug ghettos. It's called Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Canadians

have a lower per capita GDP than Americans. They also make less

money than Americans, and ironically many other countries: Ireland,

Germany, Switzerland to name just a few.

3. Peaceful

Nope! There are just as many acts of violent crime, drug gangs,

domestic murders in Canada as in the U.S. It's just never adjusted

for per capita, ie. the actual population of the two countries

and the size of the cities in each country. Canada has serial

killers, drug shootings, pollution, gang violence. How come we don't

hear much about this in the world's media, the way the U.S.'s

problems are constantly brought up?

4. Strong economy

No! Canadians just piggyback off the U.S. economy and they still

can't manage to get their unemployment rate down to anywhere near

to the U.S. rate, which was hovering in the low 5's most recently.

Canada's rate has varied over the last decade or more from 11% to

a low of about 7%. The country just sells off its raw natural

resources rather than having a productive economy through

strong innovation or research. Yet the Canucks complain about

selling those resources to the U.S. Huh?

5. Canadians are polite self effacing and humble

Whoa! Canadians are anything but polite and "European" as they

like to tell the world. Most Canadians I've met are ignorant,

boorish, self absorbed anti-American bigots. Go to a Canadian

workplace: see how they treat you, especially if you are a brown

or black person.

Go to a restaurant or a store. The tone is very cold and "British"

in nature. Look at how they drive. I have driven in Britain, the

U.S. (San Diego, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Seattle area).

Nowhere have I seen such stupid backward drivers as I have seen

in B.C. and Alberta.

Basically Canada needs to have its huge pompous self absorbed ego

deflated. Canadians are hypocrites and they love to be delusional,

and self absorbed about how great they are. The U.S. incidentally is the

country where a lot of Canadians, (about 250,000 at last count), go

to live well, retire and of course, for employment. Hypocritical or

what?

Answer 13

Do what you want, it is your choice.
