Please read this, especially if you are new to forums. It gives advice on how to post, acceptable use etc. From time to time we might post special announcements here too, so watch out for the orange flag!
Here's where we post announcements related to Canada. Please have a look around the boards before asking a question - we may already have answered it. (Only board Moderators and Site Admins can post on the announcements board.)

Here's the place to discuss all the red tape, rules, and regulations - the hoops you have to jump through before getting to Canada.

Atlantic coast or Pacific coast? Prairies or cities? So many choices in a country of Canada's size... why not post here and discuss the options with others?

All about the practicalities of physically moving to Canada... For first arrivals - temporary accommodation, making new friends, culture shock... Please DO NOT use this board for questions which belong on other boards, eg immigration, housing, schools, etc.

... and other domestic issues. This board is to deal with information about these issues. Anecdotes and updates about your family and pets should go in "The Making New friends/Socialising" board, not here.

We get a lot of requests from journos wanting to interview expats so here's the place to do it. Please, everyone, have a look and see if you can help. (This is for Canada-specific requests only - general requests belong on the main BE Forum. Press releases/adverts will be deleted, so please don't waste our time. Thanks.)

This is the place for social chit-chat and keeping in touch. So come on in and say hello! (If you're seeking information on a specific subject, please post your question on the appropriate board. Thanks!)
Moderator: Buddyboy
Sometimes you just want to share the news of how your application is progressing (or not). Please post here rather than on the information boards.
Moderator: Buddyboy
Post here only if your question doesn't belong anywhere else. Don't post loads of questions all in one message - that would defeat the point of the boards and such posts will be deleted (don't feel embarrassed if you have 5 or 6 questions - you're welcome to ask them in separate posts in the appropriate place). (NB - if you want to post about something not Canada-specific, then use the main British Expat Forum.)

This board is for all the jumbled up info about Canada. We've asked that, on the info boards, you please post on the relevant boards, start new threads for new topics, and please keep on topic. Otherwise the info is too hard too find for those coming after, and the already overworked Mods end up having to repeatedly answer the same questions. (If your posting is locked in here, please feel free to post again in the appropriate place.)
