You have traveled to extensively to take the UN survey to seriously . Canada is a safe country with declining standard of living compared to other 1st world countries . Yes the NDP is right there is more poverty in Canada which what you would expect from a declining standard of living . 1st and 2nd world immigrants tend not to come to Canada because they understand this. Immigrants maintain 2 passports to leave when it suits them . If Canada is so great why have 2 passports . There was a time when people around the world repected and liked Canadians now they like Canadians. and yes a Canadian passport is well received.

You are also making a play on the two-passport thing. So what if people maintain two passports. I really do not believe it is so that they may leave but because they can do so legally. I fly with a great many different NATO and non NATO pilots and almost without exception they would happily move here because when compared to their home countries they say living in Canada offers a superior standard of living. I also work with at least 6 ex-RAF officers who have come to Canada in the past 5 years to work so it cannot be too bad.
The UN survey has long been used as a measurement of the standard of living in the world and I see no reason to ignore it unless you can offer something else to prove that it is flawed.
Canada is and will remain for the foreseeable future a great place to live and raise children and I still don't see anyone on this thread offering a viable alternative. All I see are folks trying to put down Canada. Well prove to me that there are better options. Is the glass half empty or half full?

In the end if you are happy that is all that counts.Canada is an easy comfortable place to live just dont get sick . As for second passports they are nothing more than lifeboats never know when the illusion will vanish. Nato and Canada now there is a good example of Canada in action. I do remember a time when the army had tanks,the navy had subs and the C 130's were new, well better not go there. Good luck
Over and out

I carry two passports because I wouldn't get a job otherwise. So the big question is do I stay abroad in a job I love in a country that I couldn't care less if it disappeared off the face of the earth, or do I move back to Canada and start humping freight off a 53' trailer because it'll take me decades to land the coveted job? The way I see it is that successive waves of left wing commie tree huggers decimated Canadian aviation. It'll take years to undo the damage that NDP and Liberal governments caused. In the meantime, I've got a family to feed and a job to go to, unfortunately both of these are 6000 km away from the place I'd like to be.

Aussie pilot - the easiest way
Hope you know somebody in the industry in Canada, if not you are going to have a tough time getting a break.
You can visit Canada with your wife and then just stay, apply from within Canada on humanitarian grounds. Then do your license conversion while you are waiting. This way you will see how difficult it is to get a job
Why don't you get a job in the USA, more opportuinities there. Have a greaaat day

The great health care system? where you sit and wait for hours,in some instances days in the emerg waiting for treatment? Or waiting months, or years for life saving operations? It's a beautiful place with great people from coast to coast, but having travelled extensively on the other side of the world, I can easily say your country is far from being the best country in the world to live in
wich one you think is the best??
whatever if you complain about Canada... what can you do if you lived in Italy???

Canada the best place to live!
Yes if you're immigrants who do not want to really become Canadians, they'll change the laws or invent a new one just to please you.
You've been paying taxes all your life, canadian born; you don't get what you're paying for. People come and only take what they like and the rest they spit on it and we keep on paying. Things immigrants don't like, they take it all the way to the supreme court of Canada and will win, free of charge.
Sorry it's the hard reality (for some of us anyway).

Aussie guy
ea340,Ready and myself are only expressing our opinions on things we have seen and experienced. The people who choose which cities and countries " are the best to live in" probably don't spend a whole lot of time in these places.I spent most of my life in canada so I think my views are just as valid as anyone elses. The only way to really find out is to go there,live there for a few years and then you can make an honest evaluation. The things I experienced in canada make me NOT "a proud canadian". Anyway, happy flying!
