Everybody is received very well in Canada.
Canadians are very good people and Canada is a wonderful country.
Jobwise i have to say is not easy though, my wife, for example, was a lawyer assistant in italy for 15 years and she had hard time to find an opportunity here (even out of her line of work). We stop searching because she got pregnant...
A guy i met at my IFR rating, was a 737 captain in east europe but had an hard time ti find a job...
I heard a lot "we are looking for some canadian experience" many times.... plus salaries here are nothing compared to europe...
