Some questions about Canada.

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?

(more will probs come).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

ye that might be.. it works alright.. 16 and 8 months and you can drive alone.

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).

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

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?

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

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?
