Rating:  Summary: I'll be leaving this behind... Review: Having spent a year in Canada from 97-98 and considering emigrating in the near future I wanted a book that would give me a broad overview of the process of moving.Unfortunately I found it poorly written, patronising, (the section on social etiquette is laughable to anyone with an ounce of common sense) vague and full of inaccuracies, including spelling mistakes. It also can't seem to make up its mind as to whether it's a holiday guide or an emigration guide. Advice for your arrival in Canada consists of "There are two lines for immigration at the airport - Residents and Visitors. Make sure you're in the right one!" Oh, hilarious, folks. Fine if you're on holiday or already Canadian. If I'm a newly arrived Canadian-to-be, I'm neither. Where do I go? There are some interesting sections covering the financial and legal aspects of life in Canada, but the book concentrates too much on trivial details, and refers you to out of date websites when explanations start getting complicated. Even if you know next to nothing about Canada, give it a miss. There are far, far better books available on Amazon.com about this subject!
Rating:  Summary: Excellent guide Review: I have got my canadian permanent resident visa and I am searching for informations of Canada. Well, this book helped me a lot with good suggestions, tools, info etc. I will recommend it to anybody is going to move to Canada. If you want more immigration infos you should buy other books since this one is for people who already have the visa.
Rating:  Summary: All you need to know - really. Review: It's amazing how much information is stuffed into this book. Almost every conceivable question about Canada and moving there answered. Written in a very easy to read format with occasional humorous cartoon and comment. Highly recommended for anyone thinking about moving to Canada. I can't wait to go after reading this.
Rating:  Summary: This book is GREAT!!! Review: Janet and David wrote this book with a lot of humor without leaving anyting out. I really recomend it to any one planning to go to Canada.
Rating:  Summary: misleading Review: My Dutch partner is hoping to move to Canada with me in the future and we both thought it was a good idea to find more about emmigration. However I found this book had nothing to do with getting there as the synopsis suggested, but more to do with the "Canadian" way of life, culture and customs. And even these should be taken with a "grain of salt". This book is not what the title suggests and I highly reccomend looking on the net for more valid and up-to-date information.
Rating:  Summary: A useful information source for newcomers to Canada Review: This book is a very comprehensive guide to everyday life in Canada. It covers a variety of subjects, e.g. job hunting, relocation, immigration and customes, accommodations, telephone services, education, public transportation, health care, personal finance, shopping, sports, and lots of other aspects of life in Canada. Even if you've been to Canada before as a tourist, this book is still worth reading if you plan to make that move 'up north'. Note, however, that it's published in the UK, and many references listed in the book are geared more towards people who move from the UK to Canada.

Rating:  Summary: Very poor information Review: This book is really bad, all this information is found free everywhere in the Internet, nothing practical.The author justs tries to earn a living.
Rating:  Summary: Very good for a European / UK migrant Review: Top book, I have 5 or 6 but this one is the best so far. It is specific on many areas without being boring. UK published so may not be quite as useful to someone from the USA - END
