What Customers Say About Living and Working in Canada, Third Edition: A Survival Handbook (Living & Working in Canada):
|
|
There are thousands of tips and how-to's. This book is really very useful. It explains in details everything you need for planning move or visit Canada.
Note that this book is not for people who want comprehensive instructions on how to obtain a visa, although it has lots of good information about it. This book touches on just about everything you might think of when you're planning your move to Canada, including buying a car, banks, public transit, temporary accommodations, the health system, different kinds of insurance, finding employment, and more.
Most of the information contained within may be new to Europeans, but Americans wishing to emigrate to Canada will not find it very useful, other than to confirm that America and Canada have very similar modes of daily life.A better book is "How to Move to Canada: a Primer for Americans." This is an overlong tome written too obviously by a British gent, complete with quaint British prejudices.
It does not provide much information for retiress wishing to move or live there. This offers a comprehensive overview of the daily details of living in Canada.
I can't quite understand Damian's review - the book's excellent. There's also stacks of information about Canada's vibrant entertainment scene and the great outdoors (of which there's a huge amount). This book has proved to be an invaluable source of information about living in Canada (I split my time between Ontario and London). It covers everything you could wish to know, from the education system to buying a house, and from buying a car to the tax system.
