1.0 out of 5 stars Not particularly useful - lacking detail and effective info., 6 May 2001

By	rbreslin@markcare.co.uk (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Living and Working in Canada: A New Life in Canada - All You Need to Know (Living & Working Abroad) (Paperback)

Having moved abroad before, I know th kinds of information are required. I would say that the authors of this book have never made such a move.

Canada is two countries in one, with a very different French cultural influence in large parts of the western provinces. There are only one or two paragraphs in this book covering this.

The information as far as it goes is surely accurate, but never seems to go far enough. Discussions on housing costs start with an excuse why it's too hard to summarise, where I could easily see how tabulated as high, medium, value housing types could be discussed region by region.

Together with housing, the section on taxation should give the best assessment of what salary levels exist in the country, and where the major part of it goes. It is impossible to assess this from the information in the book.

In many areas (even the section on immigration procedures - where you would expect one of the authors who is a lawyer to be expert) there are incomplete details. The reader is too often referred on to other sources.

As a result of reading this book, I am no more certain about any aspects of living and working in Canada. One Star is too high a rating for it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of immigrating to Canada, 26 Aug 2004

By	"irmani_darlington" - See all my reviews

This book is extremely helpful and covers a range of areas which you'll need to research before deciding to immigrate to Canada, including information on finding somewhere to live, a job, information on schooling and Canadian culture.

It's not the best guide for those looking to move to Quebec though as this is both a different process and different environment to move to.

You'll also need to do additional research on each of the topic areas but one of the best overview books on the market (and I've bought most of them!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Living and working in Canada. A practical guide to life in, 31 Oct 2004

By A Customer

Excellant starter book. Although it could be improved with more email addresses for points of contact. It does however give you the basis to start your enquiries in UK. ie what happens about my pension here, how do I pay bills here when I move, what about the dog!
