There's a weird cultural phenomena called "Tim Horton's". It's a coffee and doughnut shop. Nothing special, except that nearly every Canadian is addicted!
hmmm Tim Horten's in the morning, does that make me a real Canadian now?
I love the I am Canadian advert!
Yes, as Jgnat say we moved over at a really bad time as the house market had rocketed but we had to take the opportunity while it was there, things aren't quite so crazy now though.
On that note thought one thing that can be a challenge is when you first arrive you will have zero credit history and so it can be difficult to secure a mortgage / car loans etc might not be so bad now though, even if you can show you history from your home country it counts for nothing really . It doesn't take too long to get things going but they make you jump through a lot more hoops in this respect so make sure you have lots of documentation and are prepared for a lot of questions !
