Emigration

[MartinQ]

In response to the Immigration thread...

I'd just like to know who;

• would like to leave the country, given the chance (and move where and for what reason);
• is very happy here and wouldn't think of leaving; (for the love of god, why?) or,
• not really that bothered either way.

For the record, I'm moving to Canada as soon as I get to the required level of experience in my profession. This is basically because we could buy a 4 bed detached house with an acre of land for the same price as our 3 bed semi with what can be described as a patch of grass; the quality and pace of life is much more suited to me (from my visits to family there over the last few years), and I detest the sapping underclass this country seems to breed.

Good Luck.

And that means what precisely? I have been to Canada a number of times and neither encountered personally or otherwise people of questionable intentions. To put it politely.

Quality of life appears to be better. Cost of living also appears lower.

How does taxtation in Canada compare to the UK?

I believe taxation in terms of salary is largely the same, but houses and utilities are cheaper there.
