Hi all!

I am a northern American gal (I know that sounds cheesy) but I visited Canada 5 months ago and I just can't stop thinking about it!! Fun fact I actually have distant relatives that are from Canada (prior to settling there were from Norway and Sweden) . I am actually very interested in the prospect of moving and settling in Canada. I am in the medical field (in the process of becoming a doctor) and really want to know the honest truths and feelings of Americans moving to Canada. It's no secret that we are a shit show. But I resent visited (only for 1 week) but I couldn't find a damn thing to dislike about the place!

If there anything to consider or opinions that I should be aware of? As much as I would like to migrate, I wouldn't want to move to a place where I would be unwanted.

BTW one of my fav bands is Fion and I CANT WAIT for them to have a concert in America so I can go.

Thank you for the honesty in advance!

Yeah, I grew up in Canada and know almost no French. Outside of some government and service-side jobs, it isn't really a requirement. This might be different in Toronto. As for English fluency, most Americans would do okay here, and if they were struggling we would give them a pass like with most English as a second language people. It might cause issues for your immigration application, but I haven't seen anything striking in your texts. I get that being older would make it harder, both from an application and a change perspective.

    yeah its more to do better if I found something in montreal. Im basically in my last decade of my career and have a wife with medical issues. Its just not feasible at this point. Im a native english speaker just a bad speller and with writing along the lines of official english rules you get graded on. My best english grades were like creative writing.
