Move to Toronto

Currently studying in Glasgow want to move after my course (4 years) Love toronto it’s so down to earth.

Im so sick of SK an so need to get out of here with my fam. Were org from SA not to fimiliar with Canada yet but would like some help with what to do please…...

I only put this goal in here as a laugh, ages ago but it looks like it could actually happen! 3 of my friends and one of their girlfriends could be moving there next year! If I can get a transfer to the Toronto branch of my company then I can get sponsored by my uncle and live there! If I can’t do that I might sell the BMW and pay for a graphic design course over there!

So, tomorrow I sign the contract which gets me to Canada – my company sorts out all the immigration and stuff like that. It’ll be all set out in black and white with the necessary signatures and everything. A new life is waiting for me – but I’m going to make the most of my current one for the next 2 months til I leave.

So my the various elements involved in deciding my transfer have muddled the dates, so my departure is delayed by a week. No real effect, but I do wish they could have settled on it from the start – it has left me feeling a little unsettled. Still, all is progressing nicely apart from this.

So, it’s all arranged. It’s taken 3 years of (mostly) hard work at my current job, 6 months of persuasion and discussion with my company & 1 week-long preview trip to Canada to be sure I liked it (I do).

Now I just need to see and sign the final version of my new contract, and I will be officially moving from the UK to Toronto in early November. I am sad to be leaving behind all my friends and family, but this is a fantastic opportunity for me to build a new and shinier life with more snowboarding and less Woking (the highly objectionable town in Surrey, UK where I have worked for the last three years).

It took two years to finally pull it off but I’m here and I’m loving it!

I moved here in April 2008 from Melbourne Australia. The timing was perfect weather wise as I missed the fierce winter they just had. The locals are friendly and it’s very easy getting around, i didn’t have much trouble getting a job or finding a place although there are a lot of bums/beggers around which takes a bit of getting used to. We’ll see how i survive this winter!

toronto has schools that have Video Game Design and Development programs. i want to do this if the Graphic Design thing doesn’t go anywhere.

laura wants me to move to toronto with her in three years after we are both done school. i think that’d be neat.
