|  Booo....Be
Afraid! Very Afraid!! Its Halloween!!! On Sunday evening my
door bell will be ringing madly, as little "people"
dressed up as all kinds of characters will be asking me and
my family for treats so that we can avoid them playing a trick
on us.
Halloween is celebrated in a big way in Canada. Its a fun time!
Its also a reminder that the winter is fast approaching. In
British Columbia, where I live, the Fall (Autumn) has been mild
this year. We have had far less rainy days that usual, and there
have been many more sunny days. The temperature outside today
in Vancouver is currently around 9 degrees celsius. Toronto
is about 11 degrees, Edmonton 1, Calgary 5, Winnipeg 10 and
Montreal 10.
Comparing those temperatures may be a little misleading....as
the winter closes in, the temperatures in Eastern Canada will
plummet. Here, on the West Coast, the temperatures will remain
mild. In Vancouver, we will rarely see temperatures much below
minus 2 or 3 degrees. Most days will be above zero, and we will
probably have two or three days of light snow at the most.
On the contrary, the temperatures in Winnipeg will drop dramatically
to well below zero for much of the winter. Snow will fall on
the East Coast, and Toronto and Montreal will probably have
temperatures that are below zero for much of the winter. We
do have the best weather in Canada, here on the West Coast.
But take heart, the cold cities are well geared up to handle
the cold, and the weather does not become a big issue for most
immigrants, even from sunnier climates like those of South America,
or Africa. And, we do have glorious summers!
There are lots of important things to consider when choosing
your final home destination in Canada. Weather may be one of
those considerations, but you also need to consider the places
in Canada where your job skills may be in demand, where you
will be able to start the business you may be planning, where
you possibly have family and friends to help you make the transition
to your new life more easy, whether you are a big city or small
town person and whether you want to live in a place where home
ownership is something you can achieve.
In this issue of our newsletter you will find some useful information
about the skills and attributes that employers are looking for,
as well as details about the home rental and ownership markets.
I hope that it has value for you. Look out for our next newsletter
in two weeks time.
In the meantime, tell us what you think of our newsletter and

Good luck in your decison making! Immigrating to a new country
involves a lot of choices and making decisions. Get as much
information as you can so that your decions in the process leave
you with the peace of mind that they are based on sound information
and are wise.
Greetings to you from Canada
