James: we made a list of pros and cons. The biggest point in Canada's favor: Immigrating here is MUCH easier than immigrating to the States. Plus, hubby's profession isn't in demand in the US, but my profession qualifies under NAFTA, which made me a desirable candidate.
But back when I graduated from University, I actually considered moving to Windsor, ON just because I was tired of living in the US. I had relatives in Detroit, so Windsor was a logical choice. Canada was always a possibility for me, but meeting the boy made it a certainty.
(Woo-hoo! My 800th post!)
