if the time zone thing is important to you and you have a warm jacket, canada is a great choice. it wont be a great money saving move and not very exotic, but you wouldnt be the first to move there because of there internet poker freindly laws. one suggestion: western canada is beautiful and probably has some good rates on airfare to vegas and los angeles

One thing about Costa Rica is that the ability to play there in the future, atleast at Party Poker is questionable. Party seems to have very strict regulations demonstrated by pulling out of Asia recently.

Why would they pull out of Costa Rica?

I just emailed Party VIP and you can no longer access real money tables from Costa Rica or have a Costa Rican address.

And nobody knows why?

Does this mean Canada is soon to be banned from Party too? Maybe they are only going to allow countries that specifically have legalized online gaming? Would that just leave the UK?

anyone from canada have a opinion.
im thinkin of moving there from the uk just to get on a decent time zone.

I think Australia would be preferable then, you can play the big MTTs/evening cash games in the day time and have the day off, like a normal person *gasp*.

So Canade is NOT one of the countries where you can earn a living as poker player (online and life) officially? (meaning that online&live poker player is your official profession for any tax and official matters).
BTW which Canadian city has the most and the big action in poker terms?

They wont give anymore details, but I wouldn't be very surprised if Canada is next to go.
