Canada

Firearms - permits needed
Drugs - yes
Houses - depends on where you live, there are lots of horse owners too...

You will love it!
Avoid, maybe Thompson and Churchill.

Firearms - only hunting rifles allowed. No biggie. What u need a gun for anyway? We Canadians are harmless. Ha ha.

Drugs - it's our number 1 cash crop. Good and plentiful.

Housing - depends where you settle.
Here on the prairies, you can still buy a nice house for less than $200,000.

It is a wonderful, blessed life that we lead in Canada. I hope you enjoy your new home.

Not true. Handguns are legal with a restricted license.

Same with semi auto assault rifles.

Again...

What u need a gun for anyway? We Canadians are harmless. Ha ha.

Everything is legal, if your smart and dont get caught

Thanks for all the info!

You all mainly speak english there dontchya? My french is pretty crap.

Oh, an I wanted gun so I can go hunting. Don't worry, I'm not going to go postal.

So that's sorted the; guns, drugs and a house. All a man could need.

Avoid Toronto, worst place you could ever be.

So if you don't get caught fucking your neighbours goat then its all fine and dandy? Weirdo

Any areas you should avoid? Canada.

Then don't move to Ottawa looking for a government job!

Canada is a beautiful, peaceful country...and a great place to live and work.

You might want to research weather here before moving. Some areas are freezing cold, and snow up to your you know what in the winter. Other areas are milder, and rainier.

If you aren't used to snow and cold, it could make your first few years here miserable.

Yup, go to Vancouver instead. They don't speak French, but it would help if you can speak Mandarin!

canada does not want ant Brits.....stay out !

Duly noted.

I can swear proficiently in French, but that probably won't help me much in job interviews.

Doesn't have to be a guberment job, I'm information/business analyst, database designer.

Anyone here got a job going for a hard working Englishman?

All of Ontario in general... Quebec too!

Tough shit Princess, the English are cumin (all over ur mum)

My boyfriend came here from scotland 2 years ago and he always complains about it here and wants to go back! People here don't seem to like the Brits!

Thanks for the advice. We both love extreme weather, gotta be better than the usual crap we get in England.

Its all right, I'm English, not British.

You'll all learn to love me soon enough.

AREAS TO AVOID:
Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Yukon, Northwest Territory, Nunavut. Alberta(if you hate Conservatives and cowboys). Avoid Toronto, too.

HANDGUNS:
You can still own a handgun in southern Ontario, but better to not share with everyone you have one. There is quite a controversy about them.

DRUGS:
Cheap and abundant!

HOUSING MARKET:
Around southern Ontario it's still very strong. Our home has tripled in value in the last two years. There are quite a few counties around here where the hi-tech industry is still the primary source of jobs. It's keeping people employed, rich and keeping the housing market strong.

Nah, UK folks fit in just fine around these parts. A lot of us are first generation Canadian our parents all come from the UK.

You need the Canadian forum at British Expats:

[link to www.britishexpats.com]

All they do is talk about questions like you have. Great source of information, very helpful! Go check it out!

I love Quebec.

Hmmmm.... well I guess it all depends on the person. If you don't like Chinese people maybe Vancouver might not suit you.

If you don't like them god awful Brits then don't come here to Victoria BC.

If you don't like Innnnndians, then maybe avoid Lethbridge Alberta or the Queen Charlottes.

If you don't like Hindu's Seiks and the like, Vancouver again.

If you really don't like Eskimos, then avoid Nunavut.

If the French are still not your cousins, then Quebec is not for you. English signage is illegal and they have tattletale squadrons like Nazi youth groups to ensure the law is obeyed.

If you don't like tractors, forget the prairies.

Watch out also for pulp and paper mills. Avoid those cities and towns at all cost. Children get asthma and it stinks to high high heaven.

Winnipeg, coldest city on earth. Most mosquitoes on earth in the spring. If you don't like Ukrainians or Icelanders don't go there.

Like the Calgary Stampede? It gets hot in Calgary in the summer. Dislike American Texan cattle barons and oil men?
Don't go there. Don't go there if you are not a heavy drinker. That's all they do.

Small town or big city?

GOOD JOB

I will tell you one thing. If you have a staunch British accent, or even a cockney accent, they will be on their knees sucking your cock as soon as you walk into Victoria and give you ANY job, and insist that you speak at their dinners.

wrong cuntry asswipe....there is only Princess's and Queens in your fag british piece of shit island.
canada hates wimpy fag english goofs, as does the rest of world.....its best to keep you chirpers confined to that little island..

May I tweak the above advice just a little?

Change "Vancouver" (cost of living far too expensive!) to "Vancouver Island". Mildest weather in the country. Fabulous, bountiful nature at your doorstep. Still affordable.

Check out jobs and accomodation, etc. on the following websites:

Good luck to you!

What's wrong with Atlantic Canada?

If you like hunting, low house prices, easy going lifestyle, no crowded cities and lots of 'interesting' weather, consider New Brunswick or Nova Scotia. Halifax (Nova Scotia) or Moncton (New Brunswick) both have relatively strong job markets, especially if you're a professional. You can buy a nice 1800 square foot house in the city in Moncton for like $160k. If you want to live outside the city you can get a nice place with acreage for $120k and still be able to commute within 30 minutes. There are french people in Moncton yes, but there's at least as many english people and there's lots of non-bilingual english only. Halifax is almost all english - I think there's more arabic speaking people there than french.

Plus, don't forget Canada is a huge country. New Brunswick is actually closer to England than it is to Vancouver. If you ever wanted to visit home, the east coast will be much easier (and cheaper).
