Well people go where the jobs are and Canada largely escaped the economic collapse of the us and europe.

And considering Iceland is one of the few countries whose economy imploded even worse than Irelands is it economically stable enough to be welcoming job seekers from ireland?

That would be my only worry, but I do believe I've read their economy is recovering well. It could be just spin though.

:pac:

Very very expensive. Love the way they harness the free naturally heated water to cook and warm the streets. There's never any frost or ice on their roads or pavements.

If you are thinking about moving to Iceland what you should first and foremost remember is that the population is very small. We are 350.000 with the vast majority living in the capital area of Reykjavik. It isn't particularly difficult to get a job but don't expect the jobs on offer to be as varied as in for example Toronto or Dublin.

The advantages of living in Iceland have mostly to do with the nature - there is a lot of it! People are friendly, the food is good, the air is fresh and the swimming pools are great. On the other hand the weather can be horrible, the beer is fairly expensive and we live way, way up in the north. It takes around 3 hours to fly to London and 5 hours to fly to Boston.
