I'm just curious as to whether anyone here has immigrated to Canada and, if so, what were your experiences in doing so.

I moved to London, ON back in the Summer of 2002. It was actually quite easy to do, and it didn't require a lot of time or money. First, you have to get a C9 to sponsor you, but you can find one over the internet. All they are is simply a local person who promises to the government that you have a job waiting on you. Not very hard, as Canada has about 0.9% unemployment, and the average wage is about 25USD an hour. I got a job working as a runner for a local newspaper. All I did was carry wire reports from the central area to the editors and also did minor errands for them around town.

After you are in Canada for two years you can get whats called a NNCC (Non-Native Canadian Citizenship). All you have to do is learn about the Canadian History, and pass a test on the Federal Laws. In some provinces you must also pass a test on local laws, but I didn't for Ontario.

I lived in a duplex apartment that rented out for 250 a month. It was actually fairly new (built in 1987), and the landlord was very good about always fixing anything that broke. I found a beautiful girl there and we were married in 2004. The only problem with my story ended up being that I'm a complete and total liar. Sorry.

With NAFTA you don't even have to become resident or citizen to Canada to gain employment there.

Not that I was hoping that somebody would actually post a useful reply, but one can always try.

Not to be anal but:
I think in the context of your question 'emigrated' is the correct word, but maybe not.
