@paul, recommendations on altnative routes then, ive had people say that it's still doable, just have to be prepared to wait out any snow storms and temp road closures. Were stuck with April as our work visas will expire if we don't cross through immigration before April 18th. Maybe we hire a...

@Tricky: Thanks mate, hadn't seen those ones before, seem to have a fair few listings I haven't seen before. @Nyx13: I've been warned that no matter how much I think I know what i'm getting in for with winter, i'll have no idea until we actually go through one. Those hot springs sound good though

Hey all, So the wife and I have paid for the airfares to move to Canada in April next year. We're headed to Toronto by way of Vancouver. We're looking into the idea of hiring an RV out of Vancouver and taking a winding drive through Whistler, Kamloops to Calgary via Banff, up into Edmonton then...

Nope that is just rego. Insurance is seperate. And thats on a 650 hyosung... My v8 is cheaper on rego for the year. I guess the grass is always greener on the otherside syndrome here. I seem to be finding every little fault with where I live now that I know i'm moving. But yeah, living costs...

The police should try to charge him with Manslaughter now. If a judge as ruled that she couldn't convict him because there was doubt he was using the phone at the time she has basically said he wasn't distracted by the phone, therefore he has willingly crossed into oncoming traffic and killed 1...

Can't be any worse than home now. Got a power bill through, $1100 for 3 months, up 50% based on previous 3 months and our habits haven't changed. Rego for my bike is now 900 for a year too boot.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. We cannot wait to start the journey and experience all that Canada has to offer, where ever it is we end up :) Just 3 weeks till the wedding then we start planning our move.

Mate, once i've got a place to rent that will be happy with the 2 cats, got a job doing anything to get some coin, i'm buying a bike and getting on some rides. Seriously eyeing off a ZF8N....can't believe how cheap they are second hand over there As I said to the missus, first order of business...

@toshison: The GTA is going to end up been our starting point, once I'm qualified under transport Canada for my pilots licence and flight instructos rating its a matter of going where the work is. Biggest thing for us initially will be the excitement of living in another country, a new city etc etc

Oh and that chick in the Ad is Lara Bingle, an absolute train wreck since that Ad.

DownUnder: Darwin mate, don't get me wrong the fishing is awesome, but i'm over the constant 36º days, 98% humidity. Camping, unless you have a permit for aboriginal land is crap again heat. Over getting chased by buffalo when hunting Boars, that we can't eat because its all diseased. Mainly...

One thing spacing me out about Canada is the cost of living, its soooooo cheap! I live in a 3 bedroom duplex and pay 500 a week for it. 2 grand a month, then there's power which just went up 30% this year which is driving fuel up to the $2 a litre mark and everything else as companies try to...

Pretty much

Hi all thanks for the warm welcome. @Kargo: Fixed wing mate, I wanted to go rotary but the industry is a tight nut to crack at the moment and the rotary guys are having an even harder time trying to find work. @Rockerguy & Macs: You guys struggling to find Visas? Figures. We hand out visas to...

Hey hey all! Just thought I'd pop in, say hi and start making a new network of mates in the GTA. My fiancée and I are making the big move to Canada early next year on a 2 year working holiday visa, with the intention of working towards permanent residency in Canada. We're both born an bred...
