Sorry I have to disagree on this one from experience, me and my Canadian hubby had been married 2 years when he came to the UK to live with me and it took a total of 14 months to get his residency sorted out, luckly he managed to come as a visitor for a while it took a longer time than it did for me to move here .

Atleast your husband got a visit Visa to come and be with you. Canadian Government doesn't even issue a visit Visa to a spouse in 98% of the cases from Pakistan.

Lol this thread is funny

I've never been to the UK (though I'd love to visit), but I have lived in Europe, and isn't living somewhere really just what you make it? What's important to you? My partner and I decided to live in Canada, even though, school would have been WAY cheaper in Germany, he already had a great job, and housing was probably more affordable than here in Vancouver. BUT, I have a great support system of friends and family here, and we both love Vancouver, even though we love living in Germany too. The decision was pretty much because of the people here in Canada (and a little because of my sub-par German skills vs. his excellent English )

yeah I guess, he was with me for 2 weeks then went back cause of work, but i dont think on that alone it makes the UK better than Canada, having lived there all my life in the Midlands believe me Canada is a paradise compared to there.

That percentage is about the same for all countries that are not visa exempt.

I loved living in England (just outside of Brighton on the South Coast) but it can't compare to the life my children are going to have in Canada.
They are outside playing everyday (except this week because it's currently -34!), we couldn't do that in England because it rained a lot, we went and splashed in puddles occasionally but it was so wet & the boys got cold so quickly.
Financially we are so much better off. We struggled every month, living in a 2 bedroom flat and sharing a car. We are now able to put money into savings every month, are renting a 3 bedroom house while our new house is being built, have 2 cars and can comfortably afford to go out for meals and day trips with the kids - still just with my fiancé's salary. If we had stayed in England I would have had to go back to work and put my boys in daycare.
It's not all about the materialistic stuff, but the money aspect means that I get to stay at home and raise our kids until they start school - and that, to me, is the most beneficial thing about the move to Canada

Most of these countries do get the PR Visa pretty quick compared to others, so they don't even bother to apply for a visit visa.

Hahaha! Have to agree with that Mandy!

Canada vs UK - I guess it all comes down to what country offers us the best quality of life.

Well, my experience living in Canada has been really positive, I'm meeting lots of new people and making more and more friends and aquaintances. That is not to say I won't be out celebrating my Irish Heritage on Paddy's Day in March though! I will certainly be drinking a bit more than TEA that day! lol
