Thanks, diddagirl!
I've been out there twice, the first time was last New Years and then over last 4th of July weekend. I didn't spend too much time in Calgary but from what I did see I liked. And you're right, it's beautiful. I was lucky enough to go to Banff and I was amazed.
I've got immigration books on order and I'm eagerly awaiting those so I can do some more research.
And you're right, everyone was friendly to me that I met there
