I would like some info on moving to Canada. Im looking to move there from UK and wanted to know where would anyone recommend is the best area. I wanted my kids to go to a Sikh school so im basically looking at that as my main place to stay along with good Sikh Sangat for my family. Which Sikh schools are generally rated highly?

 

thanks

Why do you want to become a Canadian and what are you running from?

Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, and Winnipeg all have Sikh schools. Generally high ranked as well. Vancouver & Toronto have huge Sikh communities, but expensive. Edmonton & Calgary have large Sikh communities as well, but economy a bit slow right now. Winnipeg is cheapest, growing Sikh community, but still have several 20%+ Sikh population neighborhoods. In other words, you have all the options you need.

Surrey BC or near surrounding areas would be your best bet. I reckon the ratio of sikh sardar's to a brown face is the highest. BTW. I came from UK after checking out Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa and Montreal.

Its not the place it is the person. If you are not happy right now in this present time. What makes you think you will be happy if you move. 

If you are happy then it does not matter where you live. As you will be happy no matter where your home is. 

However if your moving ie for better job prospects/career, housing, then that is different. Nothing wrong in wanting to move to a better neighbourhood. But you have to move for thw right reasons.

Bumping this up.

Am thinking myself of moving from the UK to somewhere in North America as there is more land/open spaces, and some places a lot better weather (I dislike winters in UK). 

And, weather can have a big impact on mood unless you are a complete Chardhi kala person.

If u have kids and moving to canada. Be careful not to move to a city with panjabi gangs. U dont want ur kids to be lead astray. And friends are what land kids in trouble. 

America does have alot more farms and stuff. But where sikh ppl are living, population is rising and suburbs are growing into rural areas. 

About healthcare, thats why its important to get a job with good benefits and insurance. Or just health insurance in general. 

I have heard nightmare stories about the NHS and canadian universal health system...as have all americans so we are very weary of universal healthcare. Although it seems to be the democrats running ticket.
