What were you planning do in Canada? I'm only lucky to be where I am thanks to a lot of generational wealth and family connections which gave me an edge over most people.

Most newcomers to Canada really struggle and often don't make it.

Sorry to hear about your ex bro. Going through a divorce myself right now, thankfully no kids.

I'm a datacenter system administrator and I often ponder moving to the US actually. I really want to buy a house but even in my situation I can't afford one.
