British Expatriate Network

New to the forum, been in Calgary, AB for just about 18 months now.....moved here Godalming.

Welcome to the forum. Not too many of us Canadian/Brits here.
I came to Ottawa from Barton le Clay Beds in 1963 and never went back.
Hope you make this country your home.

Good luck

Thanks...........PR is imminent

They didn't exist when we came.
I accepted a job offer from Computing Devices of Canada ( Now General Dynamics Canada) in March of 1963 and sailed for Canada on July 3. When we docked in Quebec City, Customs and Immigration came on board and stamped our passports "Landed Immigrant" and we were officially residents of Canada. We sailed on to Montreal and then caught the train to Ottawa.

We hadn't planned to come to Canada, it was due to a job offer in the Sunday Telegraph on a winter Sunday in January 1963. I had to sell our house and organize the move in about 3 months.
We came with two children (John 6 and Ann 2). John is now working in Washington DC for the IMF and Ann is a homemaker in Montreal.

Never regretted the move and have made a wonderful life in Ottawa. I retired in March 1992.

Welcome but behave.

Familiar name

You behave too.

I never mis-behave

That's not what Iaink said.

He is a moron but I have no idea what or who you are talking about...

Glad to see my unfounded reputation preceeds me.........prey tell Moo, who are you?

So i guess if I looked for another expats forum I would be looking for baa or cluck or some other barnyard animal noise then?

A reputation...nah just a ripple in the water
