What about moving to Canada?
October 2nd, 2007 | 
Author: We’re sort-of looking for somewhere outside France to live at the moment. Not in a “lets’ go right now” kind of way, but in a considerably more musing about it all sort of way.
Initially, areas of Spain were first into the frame. It’s another European country, so that makes it relatively easy to move to. No real hassles about residence permits or such like things, same electricity supply and we can, once again, stick our Sky box under our arm and watch our normal programming.
However, Norman has suggested that Canada would be a much simpler option than we’d ever thought it would be. In fact, we never even considered it, thinking that it would be a rather difficult place to move to. Even our first playing around with the immigration points calculator throws up that we’re sitting at 80/100 with no problems and that’s well above the required level.
Very early days of course and we’ve not even ordered, still less read, the Living in Canada book.

We did it! Burned our bridges, sold the country cottage in UK and bought several lakefront cottages in Ontario. And we now run a vacation rental management company from our riverside location. We paid C$355K for a five bedroom, three bathroom waterfront property. We have a boat moored at the dock and have access to a huge lake for boating from May to October. OK, so it’s pretty cold in winter, but the winter wonderland outside my door today is spectacular and cross country skiing is on the agenda. By June the water is warm enough for swimming and the Mediterranean style summer means long days of water activity and lazing on the dock.
From the day we climbed on that plane and started our life here, we’ve never looked back. I recommend it 100%!
