I'll have a quick swizz on t'internet for you, already found some that looked suspiciously commercial. Whatever, I'd say get the ball rolling, you don't have to commit until you're on that plane after all, and nothing ventured nothing gained. I know they've got a points system like Australia, but I reckon the property would definitely work in your favour, somewhere to live AND a nice chunk of capital under your belt. I went to Toronto and Montreal, and though I preferred the former, I just loved Canada full stop and would consider moving there. Have a few Canadian friends living in the area round here and they're a great bunch, Huguenot even married one. Mind you they're all over here, don't know what that says....probably that the grass is always greener ;-) It's a VERY different pace of life to London though.
