Some of our readers will entertain a move to Canada come November, depending on the outcome of the election. Well, we’re here to help. Y’know, Canada has fabulous cities in which to raise your kids!
You may first want to bone up on process. And fancy this: All the work has been done for you with the book How to Move to Canada: A Primer for Americans.
It’s also never too early to start preparing the rest of your family for the possible move. Begin with a firm knowledge of hockey trivia.
Me like cute bears! Me wanna go to Canada, Mama...NOW!!!
For the teeniest of tiniest expats-to-be, make the ABC of Canada required bedtime reading.
And of course you’ll need to scope out shopping options, because, hey… you’ll have a duty to stimulate the economy of your new country!
Options abound. If you’re into luxurious organic clothes and wares, look no further than Zia & Tia. You know how we have the perception that Canadians are, like, reallllly nice people? Well, the owners of the store totally fit the bill.
From their website:
“Our story begins in the summer of June 2004, when a baby girl was born on the other side of the world. One year later, we traveled to North-West China to adopt our daughter, Zia… the thread to the beginning of an incredible journey and our link to making a difference in the world.”
See?! It’s true! Canadians really *are* super nice…and they’re eco-conscious, too!
I grew up in Canada and now I make films with Paul Rudd! Not bad, eh?
Finally, prepare your palate with Ikura (a popular Canadian caviar).
After all, you’ll need to be up on all the gourmet Canadian foods…’cause you’ll want to fit in with all your cool new Canadian friends like Kiefer Sutherland, Sandra Oh and Seth Rogan... eh?
