If you were to emigrate then which country would you go to, and why?

Hades · 7 Feb 2013 at 11:10

Talking with my wife last night we struggle to see a future for us or the children in this country. So while I don't think we'll actually move countries, it got me wondering where we would go if we did. Canada is one place that springs to mind. My wife has some relatives out there and as I work for a very large international company I may be able to apply for a move and therefore get sponsored by them.

So where would you emigrate to and just as importantly, why would you choose that country?

American, Oz, Canada

Work - all 3 have plenty of jobs in what I can do and also what my wife does.
Children - I see those as the best places for my children to grow up, best opportunities
Language - Primarily English, this is a big thing and I don't think I would consider moving to a country where it is not the primary language.

Australia.

Good food, good people, good weather, good cars, same language. Almost

joelk2 · 7 Feb 2013 at 11:17

USA.

as previously mentioned the main language is english which is a big plus.

every time ive been ive loved it and could easily see myself living there.

Canada.

Snows in Winter, Warm in Summer, proper seasons, friendly people.

Canada, undoubtedly.

I'm already considering it.

Canada

Seems to have everything.

Japan, because it's awesome. Shame I don't speak Japanese though... *slight* problem there

Canada would probably be somewhere I would consider, not as interested in Oz.

Yaayuh! · 7 Feb 2013 at 11:22

I have absolutely no idea.
Somewhere with better weather so i can ride a motorbike more often..

I'd be tempted by Japan too, but as you say, not speaking the lingo is a minor barrier.

South east asia.

Ladyboys.

or;

America.

The women strum themselves off over our accent..it's great.

Mine would have to be Canada, just really loved it when I was last there.

Pestilence · 7 Feb 2013 at 11:27

Canada, USA, Australia.

At a push, would possibly consider the Netherlands as I could quite easily make that move with my current work.

bLinK · 7 Feb 2013 at 11:27

For me it would be Canada or Australia.

Anywhere that's not an island so probably the USA. It's a wonderful feeling to know that you can hop in your car and just drive for days on end without hitting an impassable body of water or faffing about with ferries.

Tripnologist · 7 Feb 2013 at 11:45

I'd go to Canada, though that's technically not emigrating as I am Canadian.

apeksdiver · 7 Feb 2013 at 11:46

Canada I have been 3 times and always found it to be really good there, I'm not sure I would want to endure the winters there though.

Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore

Canada for the snow sports and because it seems a cool place to be if you can stay away from the French.
Hong Kong and Singapore because they are welcoming, safe, high tech, racially diverse, vibrant economies

What is it about Hong Kong? Have you been there?
