I just want to get out of here now. We've spent today packing, we have so much bloody stuff, the journey is going to be a nightmare! Tomorrow will be spent cleaning our flat all day, then we finally go on Tuesday. Excited to be going home now to be honest with you. We've had an amazing year.

Good luck getting your final bits sorted, Ben!

Omg you're actually coming back to this country?! I mean it's all right, but where would you rather bring up kids? Missed the reasons though; I'm sure they must have been fantastic ones!

It took a good couple of years to get over coming back to be honest with you, the only reason I don't feel so bad about it is because it feels like so long ago that we were there. I'm now married and have a nearly 5 month old so so I can't say I have any regrets, it would be hard to have a young kid and be so far away from family.
Having said all that I'd love to still be there and it would be awesome bringing a kid up in Vancouver. Who knows there many be some opportunities to go live there again in the future - not sure how but you never know.

Wow I totally forgot about this thread! 
I ended up going to Canada, and instead of going for 1 year, ended up staying for 2
Unfortunately, had to leave as the Working Holiday visa lasts 1 year and there's a limit of 2 visas you can get before you can't come back again
I dearly miss Canada - I've been back for almost 2 years this November. Time seems to have gone so damn quickly, but I'm always thinking back to my time there. If there was a chance I could go back permanently, I would jump at it.

Yeah they changed it from being able to have two one-year visas to having one two-year one. We did apply when we got back to the UK so could have gone back for another two years as they weren't excluding people who had only been once before. Due to wanting a baby and also money we decided not to go.
Indeed! I had already applied and taken my second visa at that point. I made a friend out there the first year who got a rejected application for the second visa - He went back to the UK and applied the next year and got a 2 year visa - Lucky so and so
