5.0 out of 5 stars best guide, 19 Feb 2006
By stephen williams (Malaga, Spain) - See all my reviews
We recently bought this book because we are considering a move to Canada. It really is a mine of information, clearly written and with regular dashes of humour, in the text and the cartoons, very welcome because this type of book can be dry and dusty. It is definitely the best of the Canada guides, with more information and better presented than others we have read. Highly recommended and a very useful aid during a two month exploratory visit to Ontario and British Columbia.

4.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive guide to living and working in Canada, 15 Jul 2007
By Frank Gerryts (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Living and Working in Canada (Living & Working in Canada) (Paperback)
This book really does cover a large number of topics that are involved in moving to Canada. Many people probably assume that they know what to expect from this beautiful country but I strongly believe that more research in advance makes for a more successful move.

This book is a good reference guide. Even now, when I am running a relocation business helping others move to British Columbia, I find the occasional need to refer to this book.

Finding a job is one of the main issues that people deal with when moving to Canada. While this book is of some help in this, I felt that this topic was not given enough emphasis. Perhaps that deserves a book in it's own right.

Overall the book is a good reference and will help you prepare for relocating to Canada.
