soon-to-be-expat...

Hi! I'm in my early thirties, and a writer (technical by day, not-yet-published fiction by night) Currently USan but looking to immigrate to Vancouver (Canada) within the year. I've got most of the legal stuff sorted out, at least as far as the first step ('permanent resident' / 'skilled worker') goes, and it'll be awhile before I can start pushing for 'citizen' status. And Canada's only barely a foreign country from here anyway, even the language is mostly the same.

So mostly I'm watching for other people's experiences, and seeing what I can translate into useful things I might not have even known I needed. Standard new-city stuff, finding people and a place to live, but also things like staying in contact with folks back home, all that good stuff.

Cheers!
