adamtheha, I guess that makes us neighbours! Do you have improved grass, native grass or crop land? Regardless, you got a good deal. I heard that country had some pretty ugly weather day before yesterday. I hope you fared well.

I see you have to save up alot of money but the site doesn't say, but I assume several thousand to support yourself while there. Seems to be alot to it and takes up to 2 years.



I didn't even know you could eat seal ! How does that taste?

So far it seems that it will definitely be british columbia or alberta. I have a feeling that if a move there does work out I will have to live in one of the large cities to get established then later on move out. I need to save up to visit the areas one day in the future.

seal is an aquired taste but i love it, it has a somewhat strong flavour all its own, i really dont have anything to compare it to. it has a very strong ordor when you cook it but the flavour is well worth it in my opinion. makes me wish for late march early april so i can get some more.

just a note on the immigration issue, the province of Newfoundland and Labrador is actively seeking skilled workers who qualify for immigrant status, thats through the federal guberment to settle in Newfoundland, low crime, low population pressure, one of the lowest personal income tax rates in Canada. and a hunting and fishing paradise.

dean: check out RenieB's ad in real estate. she has some land in Trinity Bay about 18 acres. at one time it was probably 1 parcel. then a road was put through. some of it is on the ocean. i told her you would probably have some idea of prices in that area. i have been gone from nfld too long to be of any help. ...Georgia.

seal meat is a delicacy. just has to be cooked properly.
