Sounds like a great place to live. So is Canada basically a self ruled vassal of Britain or what. The article said its a constitutional monarchy headed by Queen Elizabeth II but didn't really give any more details. Would be interesting to figure that one out.

Canada is independent of Great Britain I believe. Queen Elizabeth II is the queen of something like 16 different nations, and holds that position separately in each.

The way the US is getting, Canada is looking better and better. I think Vancouver may be the place for me.

Canadians got their shit together unlike stupid americans

the maritime provinces are culture riddin, you gotta love the water to live there

Toronto is a big modern city, big city and no track homes OR CONDOS in between, their poulation is like one hundred fifty four million

I admire folk that can move and settle into new citys its not for the weak at heart


every city is huge in Canada, Niagra is cool you can cross over into America just across the falls and all that water is way cool

Id move to CANADA if hubby would in a heart beat, I grew up in DC

wer Im at isnt DC ~~ I wish Britain would buy America back! I do!

we have lots of tea


change is good it makes you think !

I'm not sure if I could deal with the frigid temperatures up there. Maybe after global warming kicks into high gear, I'll reconsider.

Toronto is the place to be! Head shops, vape cafes, weed everywhere. downtown toronto is amazing. I am from Toronto, and i would be completely fine+content in staying here until i wither away. I LOVE CANADA.

Well, in 1982, Pierre Trudeau repatriated our constitution, which was first known as the British North America Act. At that point, the country became officially sovereign, and we have a Governor General who represents the Queen....if that makes sense. The Prime Minister and the Governor General are the highest dignitaries in government...if you're really interested, type around on google for a more detailed picture.

I will be transferring to a university up there, and my girlfriend will be looking for a professional school (chiropractic, medical, dental, vet, etc). For me, this will be easy, but for her, there are obviously fewer choices.

There's a bunch of specialized schools here in Canada, and many of them accept International applicants. I'm sure you'd have no problem accomodating her schooling, and certainly university for yourself.

It basically looks as if you need to work on getting a visa, live in canada for the duration of that visa, then apply for citizenship. If you get a work visa, keep that job; if you get a student visa, stay in that school.

It is a little intimidating to think about moving into another country, but I'm ready to jump right in. Canada seems like the right place for us to settle down and start a family.

Im pretty sure you can apply for what's called Permanent Residency, and they send you a card and blah blah bla, then by three years of being a permanent resident, you can apply for citizenship. And when you're a permanent resident I'm pretty sure you get all the programs and everything just the same as if you were Canadian. And it's really easy to become Canadian...almost too easy...we hand out citizenship papers like candy imo.

I doubt it. Maybe by some, but not the majority. We're super nice for the most part, lol.

Yeah, that's Canada's flaw. Unless winter is your thing, then you'll love it. You get used to it. but it takes a little
time :thumbsup:


I'm really surprised to know that so many people are thinking of moving here. I hope this has been helpful. :rastasmoke:

oh yeah, and the WEED IS AMAZING!!!
And every year on 4:20, people gather on parliament hill and smoke weed all day. Or at least have the past few years...its a wicked good time. Called Fill the Hill. mwahahha I love Canada. I think this is pretty much a good example of our weed friendly nature.:thumbsup:
