My wife and I were thinking about leaving the states for 6 months to couple of years if I choose to not to continue with the military. We think Vancouver might be a good place to set up shop
Has anyone ever gone through the process of moving to Canada before? Is it a pain in the ass for Americans usually?
We are both educated, in good health with average finances and clear backgrounds, which I am sure matters somewhere in there.
PM me or give me a call, I can answer those questions.
Cheers
Interesting choice, VB. Just visited Vancouver 8 weeks ago or and thought it would be cool to live there. Methinks cost of living there has got to be higher than in Utah.
VB you going to give up shooting and Budlight for hockey and Molson…Eh!
Cost of living is higher, but area is nice.
my wife is from Vancouver 
pretty place housing can be very very expensive depending on where you want to be
she is from West Van near Edgemont village ! jump over the bridge you are in downtown Van go up the hill a bit to Grouse a very nice place to live for sure on that side but a basic decent house say 1700 sqft can run easy over a million easy so renting is common but switch sides and housing can be half that or less
one of my best buds from Maui married a Canadian also and ended up moving up their so for him it was easy
I would say totally depends on your skill set you are bringing and what you plan on doing
short term I dont see it being to tough though
I would say go up for 6 months ? then if you like it you want to find out about a permanent resident card
took my buddy a while to get one even with a Canadian wife but the Canadians really want to bring people in so its a easy country to get into if you bring a skill set
Make sure you bone up on Canadian immigration laws.
