Hello All

Before I begin, awesome forum to the gods which control it. Here is my situation.....

Been in IT professionally for about 5 years; in one way or another for about 12 . I'm nearly about to finish my MCSA off so long as 70-291 agrees with me.

Avec Wife & Dog, I'm moving over to the UK permanently from Toronto, Canada this summer (no need to worry about visa, etc. as I have a dual-citizenship via my father). Hoping to settle in Manchester.

I'm a bit nervous about being on the job-hunt again, especially since I am leaving a tops job here in Canada, but the decision I am making is about life, not about job (work to live vs. live to work blah blah). Not sure if things are looking as rosy over there as it is here re: job market (?).

I have been a voyeur of this website for quite a while now - seems like a great community - looking forward to speaking/helping-out/asking for salvation with/from the lot of you!

see you all aboot!

Leaving us Torontonians? Tell me, how will you ever cope without the Leafs?

Good luck in your new home

welcome to certforums

 

Hi & welcome to CF

Good luck with the job hunting.

NB

 

Hi Welcome

You will need to learn that no proper Mancurian supports Manchester United they all support Machester City, only people from outside Manchester support united

 

... like me!

 

welcome to CF but one question are you mad moving from Canada to the UK? I would love to move to Canada from here as this country is going down the pan with the clowns in charge of the country. At present migrating to a rock in the middle of the atlantic tempting.

 

QFT

The only bonus I can see in moving out of Toronto is that you'll be three and a half thousand miles from the Laffs

If I wasn't married I'd be living in Canada right now - the missus doesn't want to emigrate because of her elderly father, but you'd better believe I'd leave this shithole in a heartbeat. I like the idea of Toronto, or maybe Hamilton.

 

Hi and welcome to CF!

Harry.

 

QFT

Why not do a house swap?

 

It’s unusual to hear of folks leaving Canada, and I wish you luck with the move, like other’s have said I would love to move away from this country the way its going.

Toronto or Vancouver has always been the two spots the wife had her eye on if we decided to move.

But anyway Good luck with the move and job hunting

P.S: So whats the job market like over there?

 

Welcome to CF.

 

Hey Friendly bunch.

Regarding the Leafs: Dislike Hockey. Dislike the constant press of the Leafs even more ;)

Regarding the move: The grass is always greener....however here, it is frozen for 5 months of the year. (I also would like the easy access to the rest of Europe - Niagara Falls isn't doing it for me anymore).

Man Yoo vs Cit-eH?: Sorry, I join the millions - I have been bred as a red since I can remember and I will not be able to change that allegiance.

Regarding the purchase of a Parka: Compare the weather in Toronto today to that of Manchester - then tell me who needs a Parka ......hold on, i'll check it for you out of interest . . . . .

Toronto: -15 C, feels like -26 C with windchill
Manchester: +9 C

I think it'll be flip-flops over Parka

Job Market: It's up, much easier to find something (mostly in the big cities) then it was 5 years ago.

 

I hear ya, I’m a Raptors fan too

Yeah, but no Sun kills me. I love the heat over the cold (prefer +30 to -20 any day) but mostly grey-days is a show stopper.

I went to London last spring, and everybody was telling me how it’s the warmest it’s ever been for this time of year. No sweaters needed, just T-Shirts and office wear… yada yada… So when I arrive at Heathrow and ask the Customs Officer about the weather. He starts telling me how “hot” it is. All happy - I walk out and just freeze! Get to the house and head out to buy sweat-shirts!

No ill feelings, actually fun times - great trip… I enjoy visiting England, just got some bad advice for this trip.

Again... Good luck in the move and new life.

 

Heresy! (Go Preds!)
