We moved to Nova Scotia six months ago from Bristol. We were happy to pay the costs involved in the application and are enjoying the benefits of living in a larger country where the population place much more emphasis on family life and good old fashioned manners!

I have 4 children and a wonderful wife who deserve the best life can offer. I am flying with my son to Halifax in Nova Scotia for a 'scouting visit' with a view of emmigrating from our comfortable 5 bed home in Cambridgeshire. I don't understand anybody who has lived the 'Great British queue' (hospitals, roads etc.) and tried to buy a starter home on an average starting wage cannot say this country is (or feels) full. To me the open spaces (and affordable ones at that ) seem worth the initial costs. So we're going to check it out!

Can a country say it's full? That struck me as an odd statement. Perhaps Canada is "underpopulated" but many of the cities immigrants move to, in Canada, are large cities that are as busy and overcrowded, and expensive, as any. I know they're not as expensive as London but welcoming immigrants in Canada or the US or where ever has little do do with the amount of undeveloped land a country has and more to do with the possible burden on it's social network. The majority of Canada would be considered inhospitable by most people which is why almost all of Canada's population is situated along it's southern border. Also why Canada should pay an immigrant to move/live here makes no sense at all. Canada is as industrialised and educated as any in the first world and is no more desperate than others for skilled labour.
