I too have immigrated to this country under Skilled Worker, and my application for permanent residency is being processed.

Canada isn't perfect, but it's certainly on par with Australia (some better, some not so much) and pisses all over the UK (24 years in Australia, 7 years in UK and 5 in Canada.....been a tax payer in all three!).

BIG BIG PLUS POINTS - Cost of living (especially in the Prairies); outdoor lifestyle; lower population density; safety; the rest of the world doesn't hate the place

NOT SO MUCH POINTS - Elections every week (seems like it); Bureaucracy; proximity to US ( ); Accessibility to International Current Affairs through mainstream media somewhat stifled; Can be a little on the chilly side; Skunks (both my dogs got sprayed a couple of nights ago, but that's another story)

Would I move back to Australia tomorrow? Long hard think. Would I move back to the UK? No way!
