@GottaLaff Do you know if there any banks in the US that you've dealt with that also have presence in Canada? Like when you go back and forth now did you use US or Canadian banks?
Ed: spelling and grammar
@fulanigirl@GottaLaff Oh, hey, I do. RBC has their regular branches, then there’s also a “N.A.” (North American” branch - when I lived in Vancouver I used that for paying my California mortgage.
@GottaLaff
Great news for you and your family! I really appreciate the updates to your blog posts because I have a family member who has thought about emigration... this will help with specifics.
@GottaLaff I need to look into how they handle remote workers. The spouse is very lucky to have a career that can be done from just about anywhere (though being near a tech hub is best.) But I don't know if they'd want to make sure he's working for a Canadian company, or at least a company with an office in Vancouver or something. And I also do have to look into the health thing.
@GottaLaff I've always assumed (without evidence) that as an experienced, working-age RN, it would be relatively easy for me to emigrate to Canada; they're short on nurses too, eh? Can you speak to this at all?
@GottaLaff for my partner and I it looks grim. Income wise and also the fact that we're already old.
We are planning on visiting Canada this summer, because to the very least, we might be able to vacation there see if we have other options.
Maybe Quebec (I was born and raised in France, I'm 100% bilingual)
I don't know...
It seems overwhelming already 🤷🏻♀️
@GottaLaff
I don't think I ever said so in this virtual place, but before we decided to move to France, Canada was our prime choice. We both have native level English and French and I even have a column in a Canada-based publication, but for us it was nyet.
Need to say though that France has been nothing less than wonderful for us. @Liliki
