Most of the book is devoted to summaries about the main cities in each province. I wish there was more data about the process. Essentially, the book gives an overview and some tips and then directs the reader to the web site for canada immigration. I had more questions afterwards than when I started but that's a good thing. If you know you are immigrating to Canada and where then this book is not necessary. On the other hand, if you are unsure if you want to do this big step then this is great book to help with the decision.

If you're interested in moving to Canada this book will give you the basics on how to begin the process. There's more to it than just reading a book though. This just gets you started. But it is well done.

I liked the explanations, every fact is clear and on point. Worth reading. But, at my personal point of view, it is not enough to read a book when planning a move. I have found a lot of useful information on https://moving-me.com/

hehe. Yeah, I read this book because my husband and I would like to move to Canada in about 6-7 years. It was most informative, and broke everything down in plain English, unlike many of the immagration websites.

Some useful stuff in here. (It was a Christmas gift from my sister.) Someday I'll write a better one. :3

Perfect! And it's written just for Americans so everything applies. Handy explanation of the Canadian immigration point system. Why don't we have something like that in the US?

Let's face it. You've thought about it. You know you have.

Well, put your money where your mouth is and see what it would REALLY take.
