 Rating:  - An excellent newcomers guideHaving recently located from one capital city (London) to another (Ottawa) I can thoroughly recommend this guide to anybody contemplating a similar move. So far (three weeks in Canada and counting) I have not found a topic that I needed advice on that this book could not answer. In fact, I have frequently found that I am perhaps better informed than some of the resident population! The book's style is open and engaging, and where differences between provinces exist they are outlined accurately and succinctly. My only, minor, criticism is that the indexing could be better, but not by much. If you combine this book with one of the better tourist guides I can't see that there would be much you aren't prepared for. Rating:  - A comprehensive guide to living and working in CanadaThis book really does cover a large number of topics that are involved in moving to Canada. Many people probably assume that they know what to expect from this beautiful country but I strongly believe that more research in advance makes for a more successful move. This book is a good reference guide. Even now, when I am running a relocation business helping others move to British Columbia, I find the occasional need to refer to this book. Finding a job is one of the main issues that people deal with when moving to Canada. While this book is of some help in this, I felt that this topic was not given enough emphasis. Perhaps that deserves a book in it's own right. Overall the book is a good reference and ... Read More: Rating: - best guideWe recently bought this book because we are considering a move to Canada. It really is a mine of information, clearly written and with regular dashes of humour, in the text and the cartoons, very welcome because this type of book can be dry and dusty. It is definitely the best of the Canada guides, with more information and better presented than others we have read. Highly recommended and a very useful aid during a two month exploratory visit to Ontario and British Columbia. Rating: - Invaluable tool when thinking about life in CanadaWow! A reference book in easy to read format. When this arrived, I sat down with a coffee and lost about an hour just perusing the pages. Packed full of really useful tips for preparing to emigrate. This book has probably saved me quite a few pennies when it comes to packing up our life; so many things won't be worth taking across the "Pond". Well worth a read if you've decided to take the plunge and leave this place behind! Rating: - Good Starting PointWell written and structured, although our 2003 edition is starting to become a little out of date in some areas ... witty and fun which helps to cut through the neccesary factual stodge |
