Well lets see, the thought of just packing up and moving to Canada is something that is going to have to take a lot of preperation and work. You are afterall considering moving to another country, you have to deal with immigration, taxes length of stay etc. If you want to move to Canada to work your best bet is to select a center and get hired for a job before you move thus making it a hell of a lot easier to get the proper documents (visa).

Canada is a huge country (2nd largest or maybe the largest, I am not up on my national demographics) and has a huge economy, it's one of the richest in the world and if you can think of any job, you can find it.

In terms of climate... much of the most populated areas of the country are not unlike midwestern US. The west coast is mild in the winters and warm in the summertime. The East cost has more extreme winters. Say on the East coast once November hits it drops to Freezing pretty much until April. The winters in British Columbia tend to not fall to freezing at all and hover around 40 degrees F. The Summers on the East can get up in the 90's.

I lived in Canada my entire life and was born there despite my profile saying I live in texas btw, i'm back home on th east coast now.

Mis-conceptions that Canada is some sort of of haven of safty and nice people isn't entirely accurate. Cities are rough in some parts, we have gun and drug violence in major centers like Toronto. However in more rural or smaller urban areas people are certainly nicer and more helpful then maybe the average north american.

There is lots of work in Canada, especially in cities lke Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver in any field. If you are looking for the big bucks, trying to get into the Oil industry in Alberta probably is the best way to go. Get yourself certified in the US by taking the training and then get yourself a job up there. Most Oil jobs are 21 days straight of hard work and then 21 days off with a huge paycheque.

Anyway, good luck with your decision. There is a lot to consider if you are very serious about moving here. I suggest you do some looking online at Canadian Immigration and see what you can and cannot do without a visa.
