    I've been to neither but I know for a fact that I'd choose Canada if I had to make a decision between the two.

    I'm off to Canada after Christmas :D I chose there because I got awarded a scholarship for a college.

    But its the best option. I am far too pale for the Australian sun.

    Was on holiday in Canada and loved it, could definitely see myself living there, it seemed like a lovely place. Feels like a mix between Europe and what I imagine America is like.

    Have no interest in going to Australia, even on holiday, too many Irish. :pac:

    FWIW, if you're thinking of upping stakes and going to a country where the economy isn't going down the ****ter, go to Brazil. It's a billion times better than Canada.

    I've travelled around Australia for 2 months and I have lived in the Canadian Rockies in Alberta. Canada without a shadow of a doubt.

    I've never been to Australia but have travelled all over Canada and the US, and I would be surprised if there is a more beautiful country on the planet than Canada. It's also safe, clean, closer to home, and as someone said earlier, devoid of any creepy crawleys etc.

    Brilliant country.

    Quoted for mother****ing truth.
    Im here 9 months and it can get very, very boring.

    That said, Australia seems like the land that ireland exports its assholes to.

    a rock and a hard place. I'd rather go back to asia.

    Id recommend Brazil over both countries, beautiful women, beautiful beaches, the Amazon and looked highly upon as a westerner with English, just make sure you can speak Portuguese. And the most obvious thing a booming economy.

    I've got a few cousins after moving over to Australia permanently and they say its great but personally myself no idea. I have family living in Canada and I've been lucky to go to Vancouver and Toronto, Toronto is miserably cold in the winter and Vancouver actually has a great climate but the ocean is bloody freezing up there. I remember going swimming in just shorts and some Canadians telling me I'm mad, I thought it would be like Ireland... big mistake haha.

    Ain't been to either but Canada would be my choice.

    I don't do heat very well and I can't stand sitting aboot on a beach like some sort of moronic goat staring at lightning.

    Also,

    The Rocky Mountains
    Snowboarding
    Continental climate
    Bears
    Mountain Lions (my favorite big cat)
    Wolves
    Endless forest
    Wilderness
    Log cabins

    Beaver

    Moose
    Rodeos (would love to go to one)
    BBQ's
    Maple bacon.
    Clean air

    Not been to either but I'd have to say definitely Canada. I've been really wanting to go for ages, it seems like a pretty cool place. Oz, on the other hand, I have never had any desire to go near.

    The US has all that and more. Why would anyone choose Canada over the United states?

    Cause you can't get a visa for the states.

    Surely they'd be happy to take English speaking Europeans with third level degrees?

    Canada would be my first choice, I was there before, it was brill, I'd did only go for a holiday, so not too sure what it would be like long term.

    Home And Away has led me to believe that Australia is indeed a very dangerous place to live what with all the killings, natural disasters and all.


    And that's just a little bayside village.


    Imagine the scene in Sydney, Perth et al.

    :eek:
    Good surf though.

    And if there ever is a natural disaster Alf throws on the Orange jumpsuit and everythings grand in the morning!

    Australia seems like its full or sun loving arseholes and Canadians are.. boring. Only boring people or arseholes will beg to differ as you're immune from noticing :pac:

    Now I'm sure that's probably a bit like saying we are all drunkards so take no notice but anywho I would opt for Canada I would not travel many times further for the sun and there are a lot of folk stuck in hostels there and that is why I wouldn't like to be in the US anywhere interesting seems too expensive to survive in adequately. Not sayin that doesnt happen in Canada but there seems to be more benefits although I'd never have a skill in demand but then again I don't have a skill that is in demand here either so :~|
