Moving to canada

Recently our family being considering moving to Canada.

They visited it before but I haven't. My main concern is if I will eventually will be able to hunt there.

The location is yet unknown, I would rather live closer to the woods and mountains. And be away from the cities. It would be a dream come through.

Also I would hate to have to sell my rifles. Would it be possible to take them with me or export them later in future once I acquired Canadian firearm certificate?


If any of you have any experience with the subject please message me I would love to hear from you

Thank you
 
Once you get your paperwork as an accepted migrant you get the chance to import your belongings without paying any duties. This is a one off so you must send over anything you want first time. Items must be thoroughly cleaned in order that you don't bring any nasties over. On arrival at customs you will be able to get import permit for rifles which will be produced and registered.

I looked intomoving to Canada (nova Scotia) a few years back but decided against it. Mainly due to the hunting being so restricted. Mainland Canada probably much better with far greater areas and less pressure. Wish you all the best.

Thank you for your reply.

rifles gets registered does that mean UK FAC are recognised there ?

By Mainland do you mean BC & AB?
 
Emigrated at 21 came back 6-7 weeks later as there was no work. Always regretted it. Seems I am entitled to Canadian citizenship from my fathers side but being 70 there is little real benefit now.
Just go and do it!!

My parents were both born in Canada so I had the same entitlement and now have citizenship and a Canadian passport but like you, being over 70, its unlikely that I would emigrate. Its comforting though to know there is an option if this country doesn't sort itself out soon.
However I suspect that differences between countries are largely in the eye of the beholder; there are politicians and crooks everywhere.
 
How often do you stalk over here ? I moved to Canada some years ago and was surprised that I shot a hell of a lot more deer here than the Canadian lads could due to the tag system
Also very expensive to live over there , the wages might be high but they sure are reflected in goods and services

I worked out there last year for a month, Deer Island, Campbello Island and Grand Minan, I stayed in New Brunswick and had to drive every day to visit contractors who were on cable laying project my then company had on the go, they gave me a 5.7ltr petrol pick up to drive around in, Roads are unbelievable empty compared to ours, It is one of the only jobs I have never wanted to leave but unfortunately I had a holiday booked with the wife, the wildlife and scenery were unbelievable, We had to work closely with a First Nation representative due to the nature of our work.
All I can say is go for it, If it doesn't work at least you have tried...

I was genuinely surprised at the cost of living and wages. I work for a Canadian company and my colleagues with exact same experience education etc are on nearly x3 my current base salary. Thankfully my bonus is more aggressive so we end up close.

They’ll need it living over there , it really shocked me
 
Do it! Go! This country is on the slippery slope ro being even more f**ked and its never going to turn around...ok its chilly in winter _28° when I went to Calgary last February but you have the gear to carry on out there not like here when it grinds to a halt for 1 snow flake. They have great shooting ranges if that itch needs scratching. Life out there is so much more positive and relaxed. Take me with you pleeeeeeeeeeeeeese lol 😆
 
our youngest has just come back. oil industry is down the pan only one rig working in the whole of alberta, where as he is working flat out over here in a factory

Unfortunately , Alberta has gone from an economic power house to become a province of high unemployment and low investment . World oil prices and Federal Government policies have brought us to our knees , but we're not dead yet . There is still a lot of opportunity out here , but it's not like the boom days . I'm not going anywhere .
