Canada's held a lot of appeal to me since I see a lot of things in common with the UK (home country) only better. Can you tell me more about why it's so bad for

  Because the Canadian government (especially immigration) tends to string you along. If you're going to do this my advice would be to not invest a single penny into the Canadian economy until you've got your landed immigrant status. The only thing that will keep them moving is money that is still in the pipeline, once you've done your investment ($750,000 in my case) there is no more hurry since there is no more gain. And shop around because the delays vary hugely from one center to another. Please take this serious, I've been through 5 years of immigration nonsense and finally gave up, sold my assets (or gave them away) and moved back to Europe. Canada is a beautiful country, most Canadians are ok people but the government simply sucks.

    I'm in no position to invest anything but my good self at the moment but I shall remember this when/if I'm ever in the position to move. I'm a little surprised by the lack of foresight by the officials there in your case. Was that in a particular region (Ontario, Quebec or whatever)? After visiting both a few times, the US and Canada have seemed like great places to move to. Saying that, I've just been to Sweden and Denmark and thought the same about those too. I do question myself and wonder if I'm suffering from 'grass is greener' syndrome or the UK really is considerably less appealing than all these places.

      Ontario. Toronto for 2 years, Northern Ontario (Sault Ste. Marie region) for 3 years. Better invest in some warm winter clothing ;)
