However, it may be different if he is a heavy user... No idea about the children.

There are some challenges but eventually, it's up to you. You should have a look at the interview series, some of the guys I interviewed were from the USA: http://correresmidestino.com/category/the-saturday-series/ten-immigrants-ten-interviews/ You will be an immigrant, whether you are coming from Chile, the USA or China.

My wife and I both speak English, lived in the US our whole lives, have college degrees, many years of professional experience, lots of references, but have always had a tough time getting decent-paying jobs. Health care has always been a huge burden for us, also. My wife could not get treatments she needed due to cost and one time I needed two root canals and we've been paying on that bill for years now. Other dental work I need I can't get due to cost. I have severe sleep apnea but can't afford treatment, also, so I'm someone who just got used to being either always sleepy or drinking energy drinks. We visited Toronto on our honeymoon and loved it, but always felt that it would be impossible to move there. How would we pay our bills there or would we have to have them all paid in full before we could move there? How would we settle in? Would people not give us jobs (would it be worse than in the US) due to our background or accents? Professionally, I've been an English teacher and college journalism instructor (and have great references from those jobs), worked as a probation officer and court clerk, and retail manager. My wife has been a researcher, retail manager, and nonprofit manager. Can anyone elaborate? I would like to ask if anyone call tell me what it’s like to move from the US to Toronto.

For some, it's a bit expensive but affordable, for some, it's just more money than they will make in a lifetime. I think immigrating alone is still cheap compared to other countries' fees and requirements. But as a family, it's a lot of money. @Bluefish - I have no idea how much it cost back then, but I'd be curious. When I immigrated, it was actually more expensive than that! @Khengsiong - Yes, prospective immigrants in the skilled worker category must take language exam to show their proficiency. I don't think these ones are that easy, they tend to be more academic. It's really to tell whether you could have a job in Canada or not. Chances are... probably. But it does take time and patience, and a lot of research. Does it worth it? Only you can tell! @Seraphine - Probably... it's too bad though because I'm sure there are some really skilled people who just can't afford it! @Shantanu - Sure, I'll start with you :lol: @shionge - It's important to be aware of it! @Sidney - I'm bad with charging people, I'd rather give advice for free :lol: @DianeCA – I agree with you.
