Pulling up stakes and moving maybe thousands of kms to a foreign country is a big move ... and it doesn't always work out .... what happens if "it seems like a good idea" turns out to be a disaster .... it's not always a question of being a stranger in a strange land, and even Canada with all its "Englishness" is a foreign country, it's the moving from home, tearing up your roots that is difficult. If you move to Canada for example, you have to change; if you want to live happily in Canada you have to resign yourself to becoming Canadian (which, by the way, is not all that bad). And I suppose it's the same wherever you go.
