There is a Canada forum on www.britishexpats.com and you can read information there, and ask questions, and it is free.

I would have thought you'd have researched all of this before deciding to emigrate.

As a Canadian, my answers to your questions are: 1) Yes, it is wise to settle in Canada. It is a beautiful and diverse country filled with lots of opportunities. 2) Crime rates are low, but this does vary. Canada is a HUGE land mass and where you live will greatly affect the type of experience you have. Generally speaking though, the crime rate is quite low. I lived my entire life in one of "the most dangerous cities" according to Macleans and did not think twice about leaving my door unlocked when I was home. Even with in cities, there are 'good' and 'bad' areas. 3) Canada has a very diverse culture. We are made up of the various Aboriginal groups and immigrants from countries across the world. Even those who have been in Canada for generations often feel cultural ties to a 'homeland' they may have never seen. However, in terms of everyday living, life is similar to what you would see in America. Considering that a large portion of our mass media comes from our Southern neighbours, it is no surprise that we share many cultural similarities. 4) I am not sure about the animation market or what your specific place in it is. But if you are interested in an animating career your best bet would be to settle in a larger centre like Vancouver or Toronto. 5) Depends what kind of business you want to do. This is something you would have to look in to. 6) Because Canada is made up of so many different cultures, the diversity is almost the specialty. The festivals and food available will vary depending on where you settle. The coastal provinces boast amazing seafood, the prairies claim the best grains and meat. If you move to an area that has a high population of immigrants, you will likely find traditions, festivals, and customs that you are familiar with! 7) I think in general we are proud of our diverse population and the fact that we are a "mosaic" rather than a melting pot. My pride in Canada is that (theoretically) we respect and honour everybody's differences and do not expect everyone to assimilate to a "Canadian" culture. However, in any population there will be people who do not like those who are "different." There will always be the ignorant people who claim that immigrants 'steal' jobs and abuse the Canadian system. If you are hardworking and friendly, you should not have a problem. Just remember that moving to any country will be an adjustment and you may feel isolated. Reaching out to others and finding friendships and connections will help to make you feel like you are truly welcome. 8) This depends on where you live. The larger cities are more expensive, and I think that we may have a higher cost of living than the United States of America. However, the higher taxes contribute to a wide range of social programs that (though not perfect) are not offered in the USA. Wikipedia has a bit of information on comparing the two economies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Canadian_and_American_economies I was born and raised in Canada and am currently living in the United States so my husband can pursue a degree. Both countries have many positives and negatives - but as a Canadian I cannot help but say that I adore Canada and think it one of the best countries in which to live!

Would have thought you would have researched that already. The Canadians only let in skilled people they need and then you are restricted to work in a particular state. I would suggest you see if you even qualify to go. I have attached a points calculator.

Bad choice. Go to amrika.

shouldn't you have researched this before applying for PR?
