metallidude

Yo anyone wanting to move to Canada? I am looking for ppls who'z interested. What I mean by moving is, going there on that usit thingy (or some other way) for a year (or whatever amount of time) or so (but it's up to you of course if you want to stay on or not). I am looking for after I finish 3rd year in 2010. Just PM me or reply to this post or whatever. So anyone??:cool:

I am thinking of moving to Canada, some day, but to live, not on some student visa. Thinking of Toronto (excellent city) or the Maritime coast.

Bring the woolly underwear, it was -22C in Toronto last week and 10 degrees colder in many other places.

Yah. I toured Canada almost exactly 10 years ago, because I wanted to see snow. Edmonton was interesting: wading through knee-deep snow along the riverside at -25C. It wasn't as bad as you might think, because air that cold is very dry, but when the wind kicked up in the evening and it went down below -30C, I chickened out and stayed in the hotel, then went to the World's Largest Shopping Mall the next day. :rolleyes:

To be quite honest, I'm hoping for a year in Japan - but failing that, Canada is one of the places i'd consider moving to.

Woah woah! Suddenly a barrage of posts.

Yeah currently no-one I know is interested and I was only wondering if there are any guys who are looking for people to go with.

I want to check it out n live there for a while. Note I'm not asking for people to stay with me long term or anything crazy like that u can go wherever u want. Just the initial phazes that's all.

Seconded. I've only been to Vancouver, but I'd imagine it's nice than Toronto based on size and the fact it's ocean adjacent.

Of course, on the other hand, it's next to Seattle while Toronto's close to New York.

Yeh Vancouver has a far better reputation than Toronto. But I've heard that living in BC is far more expensive than in Ontario??

eh? I said I was thinking of doing that some day. That answers your question: if I had a plan and a date I would have said so. :cool:

Dunno about Vancouver: I hear it's gone all Hollywood since I was last there, with lots of US film and TV production going on, rich Americans with cash to burn... property prices shot up during the bubble, and (I heard) everything got expensive. It's like the California of Canada, with more snow and expensive ski resorts, unless you get well away in to the wild areas of BC.

As for the other side of the Rockies, well, I have two problems: firstly, that's the part of Canada that gets really cold in winter. (The Edmonton forecast for Friday predicts a low of -25°C, and a high of -20°C!) The other thing is that it's a very conservative region, lots of very religious, farming types, wide open prairies. I'm a city boy, I like public transport, tall buildings... culture.

metallidude

Yes, conservative, especially Alberta.
