Well, I'm moving there next year with some mates and I just wanted to know a few things.

What's the drinking age?
How old do you need to be to drive?
Do you need to know someone who lives there in order to get there?

[IceNineKills]

[msb.]

Would you rather live with your mum and dad for your whole life?
erm yes.

[IceNineKills]

no i said near + food/money?

[IceNineKills]

What about food and money?

We're staying in my friends aunts house and paying rent until we get our own place, we're obviously going to bring money over with us to live off and also look for jobs at the same time. I know it's a long way from home but there's alot more things to do out in Canada than there is in the crap hole I live in now.

[msb.]

how dare u diss brighton it has plenty attractions...

ummm
ummm
ummm

anyways have fun

[IceNineKills]

Yeah, it has some, which can all be seen in a day. Once you've lived here for 17 years you will also get bored of it.

[Funya Chin]

See you in about 2 years.

[msb.]

calgary.



of attractions

well, if you start at the pavilion, have the hour tour then the 5 min walk to brighton pier then you're done. you've been to the sea, pier, pavilion all in one day. no point trecking to the west pier as it's a pile of crap these days, what you see from the brighton pier is the same as what you see when you're closer.

Town centre is pretty crap, the lanes dont take long to get bored of and that's pretty much all.

[prada]

calgary.
ah cool, we landed there, stopped for like 10 mins then off we went to vancouver lol! best hoilday ive ever had, visited the rockies and all sorts
im sure you will love it! have a good time and best of luck

I've done alot of research into moving to Canada as I will be moving there when I have the money. :P

The first two questions have been answered, so I'll just answer the las tone.
To live out there you must get a visa which would involve taking a written test, or to get married to someone.

[msb.]

tbh i am jealous now
lol

canada is like the best to me :(

grr wd
yh brighton to canada - big move lol

[IceNineKills]

Thanks.

Well, the person who first started talking to me about moving there said the visa isn't too hard to get.

[Captain]

How odd. I was planning on moving to Canada when I was older but, Im not sure I could do it on my own :P

[Colin-Roberts]

ye visa isn't that difficult to get here.. unlike the usa..

[bo$$]

I think only ontario has the graduated license system or whatever they call it.
It's stupid.

[Colin-Roberts]

ye that might be.. it works alright.. 16 and 8 months and you can drive alone.
alberta has weird classes of vehicles.. 1 - 7

[Metric1]

Drinking age is 19 except in Quebec and outwest it's 18, driving age is 16 where you can apply for your beginners and 3 to 6 months later you can get your full licence depending on if you took a drivers ed program or not. Also no matter how old you are, you have to wait 2 years before all the restrictions are off your licence (driving after 12AM).

[bo$$]

8 if you take driving classes 12 if you don't.
I COULD have gotten my g2 July 20... but I haven't taken classes yet or even stepped foot in a car 8(
I'm gunna buy one by the end of the month and practice/take classes and then HOPEFULLY take the test in like october.

You don't need a visa to get into Canada from the Uk.

[IceNineKills]

You don't need a visa to get into Canada from the Uk.

I'm pretty sure you do.

16 is g1. it's 8-12 months to get your g2.. then a few years to get your full G..

[Bef]

Easiest way to do it would be to get a years working visa!

[Colin-Roberts]

Easiest way to do it would be to get a years working visa!
and while on the work visa apply for full visa..

[DrLacero]

I'm pretty sure you do.

No you don't, I went there this Easter and didn't need one. You don't need a Visa for travelling between commonwealth countries.

[IceNineKills]

No you don't, I went there this Easter and didn't need one. You don't need a Visa for travelling between commonwealth countries.

But was yours for a holiday or to move there?

And we're all applying for a years visa soon. I've been told I need to be 18 before I can apply, is that true?

[Metric1]

16 is g1. it's 8-12 months to get your g2.. then a few years to get your full G..

I got my full Canadian licence 3 months after I got my beginners.

[AndrewByrne]

I wanna live in Canada, I'm half Canadian :)
Where are you moving to?

[IceNineKills]

Calgary.


Also, researching info on the Visa is worrying me alot. I know I need a certain amount of money in the bank before I go, the website said atleast $10,000 worth but as there's 3 of us going, is that $10,000 each or $10,000 between us?

[Chipmunk]

canada is snowy isnt it

go to florida

[IceNineKills]

We're not going there for the sun. Mainly for the snow. Plus, none of us have family in Florida.

[Alba]

BTW you can't just marry someone to get into a country. You need a visa.

Plus, do you think you can just go over there without some sort of documentation, and think you can land a job? I don't think you can tbh.

You don't need a visa to VISIT Canada. But you will need one to LIVE there permanently.

Canada is a place i'd like to live when i finish college, but going there without something isn't a good idea tbh. I'm talking in terms of qualifications and stuff.

Good luck anyway mate, hope you can make it.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/ - helpful site for you.

[IceNineKills]

Don't worry, we're not planning on marrying anyone. We also know we need Visa's to get in, we're working on them now. We are also planning on getting a years working Visa to see how things go and then maybe applying for a full visa to stay there. We've also got many qualifications, I have some in Travel and Tourism, my other friend is a qualified plumber, another got 2 A*'s in Business studies when taking his GCSE's. Although from the looks of things on websites, that isn't enough. Many placed want people with PHD's and Diplomas.

[Loqo]

Lucky you. My Dad lived in Canada for 4 years with the army and thats going back about 19, 20 years ago. Said they were probably the best years of his life. Hope you make it their and enjoy it, good luck!

Have you been accepted by the Canadian embassy already? You must be 18+ Have either been hired to work in Canada or be working in healthcare/childcare in order to get a visa to immergrate to Canada.

To answer your questions -
1. (Depending on the province) BC 16, Alberta 18, Ontario 21, Qubec 18, Schatuin 18, Manatoba 18. So it is between 18 - 21.
2. 16
3. If you want to immergrate without accepted for a job and your not working in the healthcare or childcare then yes it is best if you have a very close family member who lives in Canada.

[-Wolverine]

calgary.

:eusa_clap:eusa_clap I live there. Whereabouts you planning to move (as in which quadrant?)

To answer your questions:

18, but everyone no matter what age drinks here, illegally of course

16, 18 to get your full license i think, but 16 you can pretty much drive everywhere i think

yep, unless you get a visa

getting a job is easy as hell here, go anywhere and you got a job.

[IceNineKills]

I'm not sure where abouts in Calgary we're going at the moment as I'm not 100% sure where my friends aunt lives but it's somewhere in Calgary.

[bo$$]

canada is snowy isnt it

go to florida

in the winter months, yes.

[Colin-Roberts]

in the winter months, yes. lol which is like 6 months of the year.. and the other 6 it's rainy with a few very hot days.

[PaulMacC]

Why the heck do you need a credit card to live somewhere, someone please tell me cause I havent got a clue.

[Favourtism]

It may sound complicated to you but I wish UK had it. Stop all the immagrants just wondering in -.-

Doesnt the American one have a quiz about american history

[-Wolverine]

Lol, we aren't talking about Visa the credit card.

[bo$$]

lol which is like 6 months of the year.. and the other 6 it's rainy with a few very hot days.

depending on where you live.

[Teyauna.]

What's the drinking age? I believe the drinking age is nineteen in all provinces.
How old do you need to be to drive? Since you said you will be moving to Calgary, the driving age is sixteen. But you can start learning at fourteen.
Do you need to know someone who lives there in order to get there?I think you need a visa in order to do so.

[Crimson]

If you're talking about living there you'll need a Visa which can take a year to come through.

[PaulMacC]

Is a visa a credit card, if not what is it?
and yeah I think you need to take a test to get into usa.

[TinySocks]

Blame Canada! *Thumbs down*
