You’ve decided to move to Canada but before you go you must choose a destination in which to settle. Canada, with over 10 million square kilometers of territory, is the second largest country in the world, with many wonderful cities, towns and rural communities beckoning the newcomer. The vastness of this country makes choosing a destination all that more difficult. Do you choose to live near the ocean, in the mountains, in a large city, on the prairies, or in the lake regions? Suddenly, choosing somewhere seems overwhelming!
So how do you go about deciding which place is best for you and your family? You might imagine that most newcomers would suggest that economic factors were the chief reason for their choice of final destination, perhaps even climate or the existence of a particular ethnic community in an area. --snip-- Choosing to move to where your relatives live, or picking a city that is well known might seem like an obvious and logical thing to do under the circumstances, but it may not always be the wisest choice. Strategically choosing your settlement destination may bring greater rewards in the short and longer term.
There are many areas in Canada where business is booming but there are severe shortages of skilled trades people. For example, a recent TV broadcast in Alberta highlighted the desperate need for more than 40 electricians, welders, meat cutters and construction workers in rural communities throughout the province.

The prime consideration for these emigrants should be to get as far away from the U.S. as feasible. Yellowknife, NWT, seems a good choice--centrally located and it's on a lake. If they can't take the small-town environment, they can try St. John's, Newfoundland, which is closer to France than it is to Crawford, Texas.
And Lee Kwan Yew is watching you! ;-)
And Tom Cochrane is from Churchill!
Actually, according to the second item that came up on a Google search, he was born in Lynn Lake, on the other side of northern Manitoba from Churchill.
Simple: Antarctica.
I say Antarctica.
OK, I was going to give them a chance to come to their senses, but I'll cry 'uncle!' and cede the point to you. LOL
Thanks. And.....if they try to come back, hang them from a big oak tree on the Canadian side of the border.
