while it was a big deal to quit my job, sell most of my earthly possessions and leave my loved ones behind, I have to say that already being a Canadian citizen as well as having LeMaudit who is going out of his way to help me settle down is making the transition very smooth.
My perception is that the Canadians as a people are polite, tough and fair. I think you are going to fit in beautifully. Brace yourself for winter though. I have only seen snow twice in my life and it was only about -2 degrees Celsius for a day.

the last flight from Toronto to Quebec was a nightmare, with the plane rerouted to Ottawa because of fog, then back to Toronto, then having to board another flight several hours later and to find that your luggage would arrive on the subsequent flight... any other citizens would have started a riot, but not the Canadian passengers... incredible.

I'll follow you whenever I get the chance
You'd be welcome

I started 2013 in Siberia where temperatures went down to -35 celcius on some nights, so its not a complete surprise, but i admit never having had to start a car in such conditions.
