Hello to you all
A century ago immigration was universally accepted and few countries ever thought of using quotas to stop it and actually many countries encouraged it to fill the vast virgin lands they had. Now immigration is a much more complex matter and although many people want to immigrate few ever pack their bags and do so.
So do you want to immigrate? why and where do you want to go to and why?

Likewise I would not want to leave, especially with this financial crisis going on. But if I had to then I would likely pick Canada, I've always had a liking for the cold.

| I would immigrate to Lithuania, because living, food, fuel, housing is cheaper there. Also I would probably learn the language very fast. |

Immigration is freer now then it has ever been in the past. We are seeing mass migration on a global scale.
Nations like Britian, France and Germany used to restrict immigration to token numbers of people deemed to be culturally, linguistically and religously compatible. This has all changed dramatically. Even Greece now admits immigrants who are not of Greek descent. Likewise, Immigration of people with vastly different cultures to the Gulf and other Middle Eastern countries was a totally alien concept until relatively recently.
Australia had an unwritten "whites only" policy for decades and Imperial Russia managed to settle Siberia with out any immigrants at all (except a token number of Germans and Koreans). Mexico usually restricted immigration to only the educated with demonstratible wealth. I would not be surprised if Argentina had the same general policy.

I don't think I would wanna migrate anywhere. ...on a side note those of you who wanna migrate to Australia do it soon cause it seems more and more are wanting migration here cut =/ More people want migration cut: study06:17 AEST Mon Oct 13 2008 9 hours 54 minutes ago The number of people who want Australia's migration intake cut is on the increase, a new university study says. Since 2004, voters who would like a cut in migration have risen from 34 to 46 per cent, the Swinburne University of Technology research shows. And NSW is where that opposition is most keenly felt, academic Katharine Betts has told Fairfax newspapers. In 2006-07, a third of all new migrants chose to make NSW their home, making the effects of population change "more noticeable", she said. "People are aware of the extra traffic on the road, and everyone knows someone that can't find a place to rent," she said. ------------- |

Seeing as I'm Norwegian there aren't that many places to choose from with a comparable standard of living. However, I prefer Denmark and The Netherlands to Norway because of their more liberal government, and the same goes for France to a lesser extent. Or maybe Switzerland, as the standard of living is much the same, if not higher, and I prefer living in mountains to living in flat areas. If I could choose freely though the choice would of course be Japan, as nearly everything I love is made there. Also European men seem to have the easiest time finding girlsfriends there; I have several friends who had trouble finding girls here who found one after a few weeks in Japan. ------------- |

Turkey? From a cultural point of view it's an interesting place to live, but the the average wages are a fraction of what you would've made in the richest countries and I could raise a number of complaints against its internal policies. I don't know if you've been to Turkey, but I've spent some time there myself and I wouldn't want to live there unless I was exceptionally rich. ------------- |

Hello to you all Well, if I had the chance I would go to either Argentina or Chile particularly the latter one. based on stats the standard of living is quite similar between the countries and crime in provincial cities is not that high and both countries are friendly to muslims.

I wouldn't emigrate for three reasons:
-I think the natural medium is healthier in Romania than in any other country, there is a combination of soil, vegetation, latitude, forms of relief that makes the air better -I would not feel good in a non-Romanian society, we have a good balance between Oriental and Occidental in our mentality and way of life and also I would miss our churches, monasteries and culture -the vegetables and fruits in Romania are more tasteful than in other countries and still not irradiated for conservation. But if I would be pressed to emigrate I would choose Russia because of the vaste spaces that, I think, make you feel relaxed. -------------  |

Lancaster County (as everything else) is changing fast. Some areas look much like they did 200 years ago....Amish farms; no electricity or telephone poles; horse & buggy transportation. These are the more rural though.
The city of Lancaster is about 60 miles from Philadelphia, and the east side of the place is starting to look like suburban Philly. The traffic all around there is horrible.
However, you can take the Amtrak and be in downtown Philadelphia in an hour. Great restaurants...center city is nice, AND, since last night, the Phillies won the NL pennant. I do apologize if you are a Detroit fan.

I'm from Canada too, but it's the summers I hate. Here in Ontario we get extremes in summer and winter - cold winter, and hot, hazy summers that are *very* humid. I think if I had to move anywhere and I could pick, it would probably be somewhere with similar temperatures but alot drier atmosphere. A nice crisp, cold winter with not enough dampness for the cold to penetrate, and a warm summer but dry heat. Alternatively, somewhere with only two seasons: spring and fall. |

| Well, I will definitely leave France one day to settle in an English-speaking country depending on job opportunities, I would definitely go for Australia, the US, the UK or Canada. Practically speaking, I would choose either the US or the UK, from a climate point of view, I would go for Canada (I like the cold). Another reason is my distrust of France's culture, which I believe to be rather socialistic, I would like to find more open mentalities, that is. |

I almost did, but their winter was HORRIBLE. It RAINED. Rain in winter is just a nightmare abomination of all that is good and right. It wasn't that cold, but there can't be anything possibly worse than getting soaked in near freezing temperatures. -20F with dry clothes is a heck of alot better. Wasn't there for the fall, but spring and summer were great though. Just the English winter, please God no! |

I would want Toronto summer at any price. I live in country where you have 5 months of the year with avg highs of 40C+ while the avg Toronto summer highs are in the mid 20sC. What you call Ontarian summer is actually most of our winter with some parts of Onatrio even having colder summers.
I have several dream places that I might choose, Canada is one of them. My only problem however is winters, I hate the cold. I hate our warm if not hot winters (its typical to get 25C+ during a normal winter) and I doubt that the -20C Canadian winters will be to my liking.

I wanted to teach in Greece for a few years but even as an ethnic Greek that is hard to get work there. Limited immigration to Greece from other countries is good, as long as they come there to assimilate. I do not believe in multi-culturalism.You can constibute parts of your culture but assimilate. BORDERS, LANGUAGE AND CULTURE!! Greece needs to also protect its enviroment and limited natural resources, although, they should never close their borders altogether. I still believe people of Greek heritage should have priority but that is my opinion as a Greek American.
I have immigrated from one part of my country to another- Washington State to Arizona state. Now I can work on my Spanish again and for a change learn it!!! Now whenever I drive back from Sierra Vista or any border town I have to pull over for the border patrol check north of the city. I do have family in Arizona and a great great Uncle, father's side, buried in Tombstone, he was murdered over his mining claim. In many ways there are cultural differences in my new area from living in Eastern Washington (state). I need to wear jeans more and change my look a little according to my older brother.

I absolutely love NY and cant imagine living anywhere else. For me its a city like no other, I have every culture at the tip of my finger. Middle Eastern food, various cuisines from Asia, European, Balkan, African, south American... the types of ideas that mix for various bar or club locations are fantastic and people are cool as hell... A few days ago i went to a Turkish hookah bar in Astoria and was talking to some guys and found out one was actually from a part of my native Albania which was very very near to my region and moved to Turkey at the turn of the century. Great chatting experience. And cool thing is run ins of this nature are common if you just look, whatever the topic. The sign of just how mixed my area is is shown by the fact that with 6 block radius there is: - a Mosque - Russian Orthodox Church - Greek Orthodox Church - A Buddhist temple - Catholic Church ... etc. etc. One thing I despise though is the horrid prices of the city, which has made me consider moving. If I did consider immigrating somewhere I guess it would be in a more Med environment. I always considered working in some American University abroad after I finish my PhD in classics. |

If money was not a problem, and my wife died, etc., then I would probably like to go to Costa Rica! If I could swing a good reliable source of solar or wind power or both, then I would find a place upon some mountain, where in the summer the temperature would not much exceed 80 degrees F. and in the winter it would not much go too much below 55 degrees F. With a chance that most of Costa Rica will stay violence free, and with a well armed compound to insure such, I could easily spend what years are available to me in such a condition. Assuming food was readily available, and booze, and an internet connection, and TV, etc., as well as a goodly supply of books, then I might well be OK. Oh, I would need a couple of good guard dogs, and a couple of good 20 year olds (female of course), etc.! Laugh!
Except for food and booze, etc., living would well be cheap! And if the solar and or wind power proved reliable, and spare parts, and instructions were available, then I could probably count upon 15 to 25 years of good life! Even without power, but with a reliant food and water supply, it would still be a good life! Now, if I only spoke Spanish, and had two good 20 year old girls, and a lot of money, and a large supply of cigaretts and booze, and, and etc. Regards, ------------- http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/history/ |
