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!

I am an immigrant in Norway. Not everybody is happy with the United States government, but aside from generally thinking its people are loud and uneducated, there isn’t a ton of hate for individuals. Quite the opposite in many cases.

I just try to remember to think of myself as an immigrant not an expat, and to be a good ambassador.

Now I realize Norway and Canada are different, but I suspect it can be looked at the same. As long as you are introspective and gracious, I’d bet you will be welcome. And even if not, do what you want for your reasons. As long as you don’t hurt people, one should do as one pleases.

Big change, for me, is what makes life worth living. Forces me to question my biases and improve every time.
