Canada - British Expat Forum

I am 25years old and have recently moved to Burlington (Waterdown actually, but its very close) and am looking for like minded folk to generally socialise with.

Big football, sorry, Soccer fan, and an avid sneaker collector.

Also brought my 21 year old girlfriend with me. She is a trained beauty therapist and into the usual girls stuff, shopping mainly!

Any replies on here will come to my email address so all contacts made will be recieved.

Look forward to meeting you.

hi
if you want to make some friends and like soccer try joiing a team - urban sports in milton do soccer, basketball, volleyball through out the year. I joined and love it. they even go to the pub after.

hey, I know this is an old post but, ive been in burlington for 18 months (london origanaly) and just wondered how are you finding it? Im still going through immigration and im almost ready to throw in the towel and go home. im a plasterer trying to find work and the whole process is soul destroying!! fml right now

I know it's difficult to make headway with the Immigration process, the projected cuts to the Immigration service heralded in the new govt budget don't sound as if they will help anything either. Keep at it, it's worth it. The economy is starting to pick up a little, there are a few jobs out there. Ever thought of BC, there's a lot of construction jobs out this way but you have to be mobile? Most of the plaster type work is drywall or stucco out here, not the traditional plaster walls we used to see in the UK. Anyhow, keep at it, it should get better, and it has to be better than what's happening in the UK right now!
Cheers.
