An excellent newcomers guide - By: J. B. Chapman, 02 Jan 2008 
Having recently located from one capital city (London) to another (Ottawa) I can thoroughly recommend this guide to anybody contemplating a similar move. So far (three weeksin Canada & counting) I have not found a topic that I needed advice on that this book could not answer. In fact, I have frequently found that I am perhaps better informed than some of the resident population! The book's style is open & engaging, & where differences between provinces exist they are outlined accurately & succinctly. My only, minor, criticism is that the indexing could be better, but not by much. If you combine this book with one of the better tourist guides I can't see that there would be much you aren't prepared for.
A comprehensive guide to living and working in Canada - By: Frank Gerryts, 15 Jul 2007 
This book really does cover a large number of topics that are involvedin moving to Canada. Many people probably assume that they know what to expect from this beautiful country but I strongly believe that more researchin advance makes for a more successful move.
This book is a good reference guide. Even now, when I am running a relocation business helping others move to British Columbia, I find the occasional need to refer to this book.
Finding a job is one of the main issues that people deal with when moving to Canada. While this book is of some helpin this, I felt that this topic was not given enough emphasis. Perhaps that deserves a bookin it's own right.
Overall the book is a good reference & will help you prepare for relocating to Canada.
best guide - By: stephen williams, 19 Feb 2006 We recently bought this book because we are considering a move to Canada. It really is a mine of information, clearly written & with regular dashes of humour,in the text & the cartoons, very welcome because this type of book can be dry & dusty. It is definitely the best of the Canada guides, with more information & better presented than others we have read. Highly recommended & a very useful aid during a two month exploratory visit to Ontario & British Columbia.
Invaluable tool when thinking about life in Canada - By: , 10 Aug 2005 Wow! A reference bookin easy to read format. When this arrived, I sat down with a coffee & lost about an hour just perusing the pages. Packed full of really useful tips for preparing to emigrate. This book has probably saved me quite a few pennies when it comes to packing up our life; so many things won't be worth taking across the "Pond". Well worth a read if you've decided to take the plunge & leave this place behind!
Good Starting Point - By: Mr. Nicholas R. Flynn, 22 Mar 2005 Well written & structured, although our 2003 edition is starting to become a little out of datein some areas ... witty & fun which helps to cut through the neccesary factual stodge
