Zed Guest Posts: n/a	Job in Canada vs. no mortgage in US... I have just posted a question about maternity leave options for an immigrant to Canada, and I have another question that some of you may want to weigh in on. My US fiancée and I are considering settling down in Canada. The factors affecting our decision are these: I have a great job with an almost-guaranteed future, great benefits, excellent pay (for Canada), and great superiors. She owns a house in the US that she cannot sell (family inheritance). If we don't live there, the house will go to someone else. It's small, but it will do the trick, and comes with about an acre of land. So, we would have no mortgage, and could add on a room at a time for only a few thousand (per room). I've been to university and I do mostly computer support & some programming, but don't have any certifications under my belt yet. I'm lucky to have the job I have now, but I also know people in the US with nothing more than self-taught programming & very little experience that get great jobs in the US. I know we must make the decision on our own, but our families both advise us to move to the country their in (of course), and our friends are all newly-weds. We want some advice from people who have had some time to weigh their life decisions like this. I'd also like to hear if anybody have advice about how good it would be to avoid a mortgage at the expense of no public healthcare system. I'm asking a lot, but ANY advice would be much appreciated. Thanks! -- -- K-1 Timeline -- NOA1: September 26, 2003 NOA2: Maybe a Christmas Present? Posted via http://britishexpats.com
