Hello, I am planning to move to the North West Territories, hoping to
find employment there. Can anyone give me any survival tips, weather
information as well as info on the culture?

You need to narrow down your choices. Yellowknife is just another city
(albeit a cold and remote one), while many of the communities are very
unique. Finding a job depends on your skills - you'll find several NWT
job-hunting information sites linked from
http://www.explorenorth.com/library/canadafarnorth/bl-jobs2.htm but bear in
mind that employers are often reluctant to hire newly-arrived people because
they often leave quickly. This is an area of extremes, and that includes
people's attitudes towards the country - you either love it or hate it
(while many Northerners came on holidays and never left, most people hate
it). You'll find an enormous amount of information and photos on my site.

That's awful...I'm trying to prove my relationship to my father (who
is deceased) and the Ontario gov't wants to see my birth certificate
with his signature in order to release WWII naval records I wanted to
see, yet it requires this Canadian guarantor

I don't know what to do to satisfy this silly requirement

for a birth certificate as well.

I'm going to assume that the original poster was born in Ontario,
since I do know that Ontario has adopted a requirement for guar-
antors on birth certificate applications, and I'm not currently
aware of any other province that has done this same thing yet.

Unfortunately, AFAIK, Ontario law does =NOT= provide for a
"statutory declaration in lieu of guarantor" in order to apply
for a birth certificate.

I agree that it ought to, but apparently the Ontario government
forgot to (or, out of shortsighted stupidity, intentionally
chose not to) include such a provision in the legislation and
regulations.

(I'd love to hear from an authoritative source that I'm wrong,
BTW.)

Well, that's bizzarre. Since you usually go to military
shitheads to get birth certificates, rather than
them asking you for one.

I don't know about Canada, but at least in the US you could
sue the idiots under the Freedom of Information Act, to
personnel files if that's what's you're looking for.

Where were you born?

Why don't you order a copy of your long form birth registration?
That would include the name of your mother, and father, etc.

The form is here, http://www.cbs.gov.on.ca/pdf/org/11076_e.pdf, but
perhaps you've already seen it. Are there any Canadians about where you
are who fits the criteria of a guarantor? Conversely, might you have a
sufficiently distant relative (e.g. brother- or sister-in-law) in Canada
who fits the bill?

Well that's what I *am* doing (long form BC request) but it requires a
Canadian Guarantor...

If you read the form carefully you would see a sentance that says
something like "if you are unable to find a guarantor please call our
office for further instructions". I suggest you do this as there is an
alternative process for people in your position, you have to get
multiple letters from Canadians you know (like your Aunt) and get
them notarized and so on, it's more work than finding a guarantor
but for people like you not living in Canada it's often the only way.

Hello Karen,
I do not live in Toronto but I know what cold weather is!

I can tell you that in March, you will most probably encounter weather
similar to Britain. The temperature will probably be between 10-18 Celcius.
Some days with lots of sunshine others with a little more rain. It is very
unpredictable!

Take a look at the following site:
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/cities/can/pages/CAON0696.htm

And have a nice trip!

Hi,
We are planning a trip over to Toronto from the Uk in March next year, I
was
just a bit worried about just how cold it will be?
Also can anyone who has done the journey let me know what a long haul
flight
is like? A bigger plane and more leg room I expect but BA don't tell u
anything about their planes really on their site.

Thanks,
Karen

March can be somewhat unpredictable. It can winter (-10C - 0C) snow, or it
can be warmer (up to 12C mabe more). I think the average temp is close to 0C
for March. (Slightly cooler at start of March and warmer towards the end of
March.)

There are two BA flights between London(LHR) & Toronto(YYZ). Currently, it
looks like BA93/92 is usually a 747-400 and and BA99/98 is a 777.

To find the real info about BA's Aircraft, you need to go to www.bashares.com
and select the 'fact book' in the right hand menu at top of page. You will
notice that the 747 has two variants on the same page. One has more World
Traveler (economy) seats and the other, "Hi" has more Club World (Business
Class) seats. The 777 has three variants on seperate pages.

As your departure date nears, a call to BA should tell you which aircraft will
be used on your flight.

Hi Karen,

I'm in Ottawa - about an hour by plane from Toronto.

Go here http://www.weather.ca/weather/stats/pages/C02017.htm?CAON0696

and you will see that on average, it could be rather chilly. Prior to your
departure, be sure to check the current conditions. Weather is really
unpredictable. I remember times here in Ottawa when there were flowers
popping up mid March and others when the snow didn't stop until April.

I've flown on several airlines and have to say that it one is flying in the
cheap seats that it really doesn't matter which airline one flies. From my
experience, a bigger plane doesn't mean more leg room. Just means more
people can be crammed in. Fortunately the majority of my flights I've found
myself in an empty row or found one that was so that when I wanted to
stretch out, I could at least to so sideways. he he

Best wishes and have a great time in Toronto!

Judy in Ottawa.

Thanks to you all for your help, I am a little worried that my son who is 11
will be bored stiff for the 8 hours, he still has to lay his head on my lap
for takeoff as he's scared - I keep telling him that i'm sure the sight of
Niagara falls will be worth it all, he'll be ok as long as there is in
flight entertainment, but the return flight is to be over-night so does that
mean no tv and no meals either? I don't think he'd actually be able to sleep
all the way back. The longest flight we have done is 4 hours and apart from
take off he was fine once we were up, just cramped and bored like the rest
of the passengers lol
