Im a Canadian that moved from Toronto to London, and I love England( i love Canada too-but biased). I think if your use to your family being near by and having an auntie popping around every aftenoon you will miss it immensely. Canada can be quite secluded when it comes to your friends and family and is very formal. Alot of the Desi's are very "Goray". You can quite easily find the sharabi paki there too. People try so hard to fit the part. In England it is still looked down upon if you see a guy/girl with a non pak/ind or even muslim in Canada its the norm. Though Canadian love to say they are multicultural but the only thing multicultural about Canada are pple skin colour. I moved back to Canada for a few years but as I had children i noticed my kids were loosing their roots and ther deen. Its very easy to lose who and what you are living in Canada. We decided to move back as my kids can be British and stll go to Juma prayers without feeling they are missing out on there lunch. My whole family lives in Markham, and well we are quite islamic compared to the average paki in T.O. but as the third generation of kids are growing up we can see how much they are losing their own culture to keep up with this so called multicultural society. Jobs are not there, salary is not good when compared to the UK and housing is cheaper than the UK but i think cost of living (rent- bills taxes) is higher. I hope you love Canada but remember sometimes the grass is greener on the other side. Sorry if I have offended any lovely Canadians, I still absolutely love Canada. The air is cleaner the water is sweeter but there are some flaws...
