Hello there!
I am currently in the process of obtaining my UK Citizenship, and I have been looking at the possibility of moving to Scotland (where the fam is from).
I'm looking to move to Aberdeen. It's where my family is from and from what I've read, a nice place to live. All cities have their pros and cons. I've lived in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, and Calgary. The only fear I have about Aberdeen is that it might not have the opportunities of another city, etc.
As far as money goes, I'm looking to bring 20k CAD with me (I think that's roughly 11k GBP). I want to bring enough so that I can survive 6 months, if I can't find work right away. If 6 months nears and I am still jobless, then I would consider moving back to Canada.
Anyone have any thoughts, advice, and/or experience they'd like to share? I would very much like some input.
