Hi All,
Hope someone could bring some insight into my very confused state of mind. We are from India and we live in the UK (British Citizen), we've been here for more than 12 years. As much as I love the UK, we've got itchy foot and looking at immigrating to Canada?
Reasons to Consider;
My husband is a UK trained Family Practitioner. We've been in touch with health match BC and jobs for UK trained family practitioners are abundant. We like BC and thinking of Vancouver and surrounds.
We have been to BC and Alberta and loved the place. We love the outdoorsy lifestyle. Snow doesn't bother us as we all enjoy skiing.
UK economy is gloomy, crime levels are high, and I want my children to grow up in a place where its safe.
We sometimes feel like we don't belong in UK? Don't know why! but we do have some lovely friends here and we integrate quite well.
We are thinking of renting our house in the UK for 2 years and if we don't like Canada we can come back?
Can someone enlighten me what kind of lifestyle can I expect from Canada? Is it worth the trouble? Or should we stay in the UK and just holiday in Canada as we do...Please advise. I'd like to hear any opinions of Indians who lived in both countries and how do you compare the both. Any information or advise would be valuable.
Thanks.
bump?

There was a poster who asked the same question as yours and there was 2 pages of discussion. Please use search in the charcha and the key words "UK" to get the thread.
Some suggest browsing redflagdeals.com or britishexpats.com.
Please go to Canada soonest and start paying taxes to the Govt. of Canada, so that Canadian healthcare can be improved.
Peace

Thanks tamil, will look it up.
Thanks Fullhouse for the delightful post. Happy Diwali to you too. I've never been to Ontario, what is it like living in BC Vs Ontario? Pro's and Con's. My heart is set on Vancouver BC, its beautiful, but property prices are so high, I think its the price to pay for living in such a beautiful city.
Hazzybuzz,
Property prices in Toronto have caught up to Vancouver lately. Was there 6 months ago and was astonished and dissapointed to experience it first hand. I had a plan to move out East due to the expensive Real Estate here in Vancouver. But, when I visited and checked it out - I didn't find any real difference.
There was a time a couple of years ago when GTA still had affordable Semi/Detached houses. Not anymore.
