Swed want to move to Canada!

[wiklund]

Hi!

My name is Oscar and i am from Sweden. Me and my wife have been thinking about moving to Canada for over a year now. We have a nice house on the countryside, two dogs. We got jobs, me as a stainless steel tube welder and my wife as an CAD designer. But i feels like we dont belong in this country. We are pro cannabis and have been growing our own cannabis for about 5years now. We are open minded and are tired of living in this nazi country who gets more and more intollerant for each year.
So i have a few questions for the Canadians in this forum.
Is it hard to to move to Canada? Is it possible to find jobs, somewhere to live and so on? We are thinking of save money for a year now, about 15.000CAD and just move, is this possible? Do you get any help when we get there.
Sorry for my bad english.

Peace and love

The pot laws are not good here either. We are going backwards, instead of making progress. So, don't come here thinking it's all easy growing. yes, there are hoops to jump thru and it's time consuming moving to Canada. Check this out:

Hi!

Im not moving becouse of the pot laws. I like Canada, Canada is like Sweden in the 1970. But Sweden has now becomed a nazi country. And i love the wildernes and great nature.
I want to work, get to know new people and start over. I will never start growing in big style, just for me and my wife, 2plants each month. But here in Sweden you it is a terror to the mind to grow. You are always scared. Some years ago i got 3years in prison for 5plants.

Keep in mind, if you grow and get caught, you're probably going to be sent home...is it worth it? As I said, Canada in many ways is going backwards. Our Government are idiots. Moving here has it's benefits, but it is not an easy process.

You might want to arrange employment before making any move. Jobs in Canada can be hard to come by.You can expect to work for temporary agencies for part or all of the time. Welders can make from $9- $18 dollars an hour. ( 60-120 kro)

Any big city with lots of jobs like Toronto,Vancouver,Calgary are crazy expensive to live in.

 

[StinkyFgrs]

The welders I know are all making over 40/hr.If your working in Alberta,a welders helper you can make that or more,shit,you can make more than 18/hr slinging coffee @ Tim Hortons in Ft.McMurry.With you and your wife's skills,you could do really well in the midwest/agriculture industry,it is freaking cold and you don't have to worry about the ridiculously low power consumption cap in B.C .The key is finding an employer that has a hard time finding good help,and they will work with you to get the ball rolling.Just my opinion,Cheers.

Check out www.jobbank.gc.ca you can search all over Canada and compare. Stinkyfgrs is right Alberta has a great job market but also has a higher cost of living. It all depends what you are looking for

Not to be a party pooper... But with a criminal record - you're not going to be getting citizenship... Especially in this day and age and the "war on drugs"

 

[GeneticHeirloom]

Criminal Record is going to be a bitch for you to get in. But continue to try anyways because if you want it bad enough you might get it. Canada is one of the best places to live in bar none. Just choose the right city wisely...

 

[mr noodles]

you should go to spain ...

and with a criminal records for pot...forget about it . in canada our government give priority to muslims and the more radical they are , the easiest it is for them to move here .

call me racist if you want but pointing a religion is not racist .

convert to islam and you will be fine ...

sad but true

Unless you're native american, I really wouldn't talk about other people coming to Canada seeing as our ancestors came on a boat and almost wiped out an entire race of people (Near genocide).

hey buddy, if you want some real advice, and i ecourage you to break no laws, but this is what you do.

- move to the praries and buy a home. work, grow and save money for 2-5 years, then move to bc.

- 15000 in bc is worth nothing.

- 15000 in praries is like 1 million in bc

it will be a struggle for a bit, but most employers in construction will pay you under the table, and dont care where u are from, they just need good tradesman.

so remember 15000 in bc = 0, 15000 in manitoba or saskatchewan is like 150,000 in bc.

the east coast is beutifull too, but i dont know how much it will cost for living, d

 

[Hephaestus]

Dont say such things we were drooling over some of the bigger acreages in BC just a lil while ago... Crap there's a ton of land in the 10-50 acre range under 200k...



Ahh, to be miles from anyone not enduring -40's... I need to get west of the rockies... Now I just need to find work

some may remember me as the original and genuine 'indian' on overgrow ,
indian over reeferman forum where i was one of the 5 first member's,
indian at cannabis world too .i used indian here at ic mag but killed my acc when overgrow sinked......it was too near my butt and security wise ...i panicked for a lots of valuable reason like having a pending order at stairway while i was on the same jurisdiction...you know little details like that .i almost forgot i was labelled as a reefertroll because i was a betta tester for luci and ref back in the good old days

yes i can be a huge asshole ...

yes i am a freaking native .

Hopefully you have been pardoned by sweden for the criminal offense, this will make it easier to get into canada. Here you each person is allowed 5 plants without being criminally charged. So if you moved earlier you would not have been convicted for such a small amount of plants. You can always move here and stay until your kicked out, which would probally be a very long time, who checks to see if you have over stayed your welcome?

 

[MoeBudz^420]

^ Got proof? I am skeptical, I have never heard of being legally allowed 1, much less 5...

Edit: (without a rec from health canada...)


Peace

 

[StinkyFgrs]

Dmt has the right idea! What does it take to heat your house on the prairies you ask? 10 kilowatts to be exact.

thats only in your dreams , there no 5 plants legal otherwise than having a mmar exemption. otherwise you will be prosecuted even for 4 plants,3,2,1

harper will bring is c-15 bill this spring .1 plant = 9 months mandatory minimum of jail .

Bill C-15 is dead unless brought back in new form some how this spring. When HARPER suspended the house he killed all bills in the works.
And the bill was for 6 months with 5 or more plants not a single plant.
1-5 in canada is ok, I will double check but that is my understanding.

 

[mr noodles]

its still a myth

zero mj plant is legal without a mmar license .

dial 911 and try

c-15 was 6-9 months if you grow in rented location, apartment , children ect

and yes harpo will bring c-15 full steam and with a new and a packed senate , better to panic because iggy is a coward and will vote yes again to this piece of legislation
