She used to live in Pittsburgh when she first came to the U.S. and kind of misses it. I had been there a few times and actually liked it a lot. [/ QUOTE ] Bob, please go check yourself into a mental institution QUICK! This can be cured if you get treatment for it in its early stages.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] while it would depend on the wife's employment, a 3-month stay would be well within the bounds of an ordinary tourist visa. [/ QUOTE ] Right, but that won't work for trying to live and raise a family there. [/ QUOTE ] well, there are two separate instances here. i suspect that you'll be right for the 3-month visit by virtue of being a tourist, and, if you want to migrate internationally, while it'd obviously take more effort than moving interstate within the US, a tertiary educated couple (as I suspect, by implication, OP is) is not likely to have much difficulty. [/ QUOTE ] It's really not that easy to immigrate to Canada. We turn away a lot of Ameican's seeking immigration. Skilled or not. I'm not going to find a link right now, but will later if wanted.

[/ QUOTE ] It's a really underrated place, especially for single dudes. As I've said here before, any non-offensive looking guy can dominate because guys from there think game consists of 1970's come ons. There are a number of really high-end schools outside of the city proper, and colleges are top notch. The weather sucks a [censored] though. Three sports teams, and a very good cultural district and museum set up. As far as food goes though, you better like Italian.

[/ QUOTE ] Bob, please go check yourself into a mental institution QUICK! This can be cured if you get treatment for it in its early stages. [/ QUOTE ] I don't know my way around the city that terribly well but I have been there a few times and definitely liked it better than a lot of cities I've been to. Squirrel Hill area was very enjoyable and I liked the people there a ton as well. I much prefer the people and feel of the northern and midwestern U.S. Just friendlier in general in my experience. If I had my choice of U.S. places for our tour we would be hitting Seattle, Madison, Chicago, Boston, small-town New England perhaps in NH, VT or ME and Washington DC. Anyway, since we're probably not hitting many of those northern cities I'll take what I can get and Pittsburgh works decently enough for me.

Chicago Charleston SC San Diego Louisville KY FT Myers FL Boulder San Francisco Sedona/Flagstaff AZ [/ QUOTE ] Ft. Myers is not that great unless you like lots of old people and the beach a whole lot. A cute, small downtown area but mostly pretty boring. Louisville? Seriously? Maybe during Derby Week when it's a pretty fun time. But it's really not that great a place overall.

Charelston SC is very nice, but is very hot/humid for a good part of the year.

[ QUOTE ] for people who've lived in vancouver...... isn't it really cold? [/ QUOTE ] Uhh, are you serious? It basically never gets below -5 (celcius), and is usually well above freezing in winter. It rarely has snow that sticks for any substantial period of time. Obviously it isn't Miami, but it's quite a bit warmer than Chicago come winter. [/ QUOTE ] -5 is 23 degrees fahrenheit. thats pretty cold. i'm curious for myself about vancouver, but i moved away from the cold(upstate ny) and don't know if i want to move back to a cold area.
