Working in Vancouver

[richard-af]

What's the climate like in Vancover?

Presumably more maritime & less 10 feet of snow from October to May?

I'd start here for all that sort of thing: http://vancouver.ca/aboutvan.htm

I regularily get it in the ear from the wife that we still live here.

Wanna swap? My wife is the opposite, I keep trying to convince her for us to give it a go for a few years but she wont coz of family. Though we would probably go to Edmonton as we have family there.

A former boss of mine emigrated there. Neither he, nor his wife, have even thought of returning. House in own secluded woodland, own stream, good schools, etc. Work a plenty. If I wasn't so hung up on history, I'd be there myself. Hence, off to France, for me.

That's my problem too, although I'm more into Italy and Greece.

I almost applied for a job in Australia 2 years ago - got as far as working out which visas etc I'd need.

Then I realized that my father-in-law would kill me for taking his grandchild halfway round the world.

So we had another child instead...

My parents are pleading with me to return. They've offered us a new car! (I'm holding out for a house). But then they have encouraged us to move to Oz as well, but I'm too old now and don't meet then entry requirements anymore. I'm still kicking myself for not moving to San Fran when I had the chance (I might be working for Oracle now had I).

I don't mind it here, but its the worst place in the G8 to raise a child. So, my goal is by the time my son turns 5 to move back and raise him there.
