| A
Change Of Scenery In Nova Scotia - Americans In Canada |
| - As Americans,
born in Canada’s culturally similar next door neighbor, we don’t fit the
generally understood profile of an immigrant family in Canada. We’re generally
taken for Canadians unless we mention where we are from. Often it‘s only
our Yankee accents that let people know we’re “from away.” Indeed, few
people here actually view us as immigrants at all. This is because Canadians
are so familiar with Americans and American culture, saturated as the country
is with American movies, television and music. For the most part, Canadians
view themselves along with Americans as fellow “North-Americans” and regard
the border as a mere inconvenience. |

A Non-Traditional Tax Haven - Moving To Canada |
| - If you have
ever cosidered moving to Canada this article will be of extreme interest.
In looking at Canada as a possible destination, there are two main considerations;
qualifying for permanent residence and tax planning. It may come as a surprise
that the new immigrant to Canada can have definite tax advantages.
This article discusses those advantages as well as the varying level of
immigrant qualifications. |

| Canada
for Brits - Fleeing Britain For Canada |
| - "Canada
had always allured us. The thought of all that space, the huge land mass,
the natural resources, the healthy living, lumberjacks, bear wrestling,
canoes, maple syrup and pancakes .... all the things we had seen on TV
and the movies. One could get lost there - what a wonderful thought. Having
a vacation home that could act as a base camp for exploring North America
(or even south), would be fantastic. And now, with the Internet, and modern
communications systems, we could also operate our business ventures from
anywhere on the globe, funding our dreams as we go." |

| Canada
From Various Perspectives - Montreal, Vancover And More |
| - About five
or six years before I started blessing the world with my presence, my folks
had made the decision to emigrate to Canada. A little more precisely, they
wanted to settle down in Montreal. After finalizing the paper work with
the Canadian immigration authorities, all that was left to be done was
to get on a plane or a ship to hop across the creek. That was exactly when
my mother chickened out. |

Immigration - No College Degree? No Problem! |
| - Consistently
rated among the top countries in the world especially in terms of quality
of life, Canada has been a beacon of hope and opportunity for the scores
of people who have come to its shores and embraced its progressive, egalitarian,
multi-lateral way of life. A rich history of widely varying cultures coming
together and working towards peace and harmony is embroidered within the
very fabric of Canadian society. Tolerance, understanding and civility
are the cornerstones of the multicultural mosaic that is Canada. |

the Okanagan Wine Trail |
| - With more
than 50 vineyards producing ...and counting, the Okanagan Similkameen Valley
is B.C.'s largest wine appellation. This sunny region is a paradise of
fresh local produce, wines, glittering lakes and outdoor activities. After
years of visiting - to ski at Silver Star, Big White, Apex and Sun Peaks
or to golf, this time I'm touring wineries. |

| How
I Escaped The Greedy Hands Of The Great White North - Escaping Canada |
| - While the
majority of articles on Escape Artist are written from the American perspective,
I thought I would write a few words for the readers of Escape Artist from
the perspective of your quiet neighbours from the North. I have been reading
Escape Artist for several years now, and believe it’s now time to give
back a bit to the site that helped me come to the conclusion that leaving
one’s country permenantly can be a great thing to do. |

To Canada - Advice On Traveling Through Canada |
| - If you are
planning a two or three week trip, my suggestion to you would be to fly
into a major city and make side trips from that location, then fly on to
the next major city and do the same. This type of trip will give you better
value for your time/money and you will have an opportunity to explore each
major centre and the surrounding cities and towns in a more meaningful
and unhurried way. |

To Canada - Ten Tips For Survival |
| - Alone in
Canada: Ten tips for survival. In Canada, you have to start all over
again, build a new life, make new friends and find your place in a new
community. This is a challenge all newcomers face, but if you come here
alone – with no close family or friends to help and support you - then
this challenge may seem even more daunting for you. |

To Canada - Choosing The Right Destination |
| - You’ve decided
to move to Canada but before you go you must choose a destination in which
to settle. Canada, with over 10 million square kilometers of territory,
is the second largest country in the world, with many wonderful cities,
towns and rural communities beckoning the newcomer. The vastness of this
country makes choosing a destination all that more difficult. Do you choose
to live near the ocean, in the mountains, in a large city, on the prairies,
or in the lake regions? Suddenly, choosing somewhere seems overwhelming! |
|
| Moving
To Canada - Making A Plan |
| - By now you
may feel you know Canada well, from surfing the internet, or from travel
books and news items you’ve read. You’ve applied for your Permanent Resident
(PR) visa and know it could take up to 2 years to receive it. You’ve been
waiting what seems like an eternity and you don’t feel like waiting any
longer. So you’ve decided to throw caution to the wind and leave early
to start your new life in Canada. |

Scotia, Canada - The Unlikely PT Getaway |
| - As an old
friend of W.G. Hill, the most prolific author on the PT concept, which
extols the merits of personal liberty, privacy and international living,
I thought I’d address some of the advantages Nova Scotia has as haven for
PT’s (Perpetual Travelers). Being a PT means different things to
different people, but Nova Scotia has a lot to offer PTs across the board:
privacy, cheap real estate, a low cost of living, unspoiled natural beauty,
friendly people and lifestyle opportunities to suit virtually every taste. |

Scotia: From a Brit Perspective - Moving To Nova Scotia - Living In Nova
Scotia |
| - So where
is Nova Scotia, most would ask. Well it’s a quick five hour flight from
the UK, three from Iceland and a mere two and a half hour ferry trip from
Maine in the States. Resembling rural England but with forests, it lies
on the eastern seaboard of Canada, much like an island connected by an
umbilical cord to the Motherland. The climate and seasons are much like
the UK but with slightly more extreme temperatures, not at all what most
imagine the Country to be. |

Paradise in Canada |
| - "To me this
town is not only a paradise, its a very inexpensive one. The
present population is about 300, and there are a number of houses for sale
in this town and the surrounding area for $6000 and up. For those
who can’t afford a villa in Costa Rica or a French farmhouse, it’s
an excellent alternative." He Moved from the United States
to Canada - He tells us how and why. |
