Wondering if there are any areas of Vancouver that are still somewhat affordable to purchase a condo. A standalone freehold is pretty far out of reach but I’d likely have a joint household income of 150-165k.
Potentially looking at the port moody or coquitlam area?
Mount pleasant?
New west?
180-200k down payment.
What brought you to live in the UK? Have you been back to either NZ or Canada to live since? Are you happily settled in the UK?
Having a life crisis about where I should be spending my 30s and 40s.
Where in Canada or NZ are you from?
Canadian salary would be 90k cad
Nz salary would be 130k nzd
Uk salary would be 42k gbp
If you had the option to live in either UK, Canada or NZ in your 30s/40s where would you choose? If immigration wasn’t an issue (all 3 are available to me)
And where specifically in that country?
And why?
Canadian salary 90k cad
Nz salary 130k nzd
Uk salary 42k gbp
Edit: Bulk of family in Canada, but social network in UK.
I was granted settled status for my time in the Uk from Oct 2015 to Feb 2020 (I explained that I would have come back a few months to fulfill 6 months of the 5th year but couldn’t do to Covid and was granted settled status in October 2021 after applying late)
I’ve been out of UK since then.
My partner was granted PSS in Feb 2019 and also has not lived in UK since Feb 2020.
I have returned to UK for visits in 2022, 2024 to reset the 5 year clock. My partner has as well but I don’t know if his timer resets in the same way with PSS. His UkVI account says pss active until Feb 2029. Not sure if this is still applicable though with his absence of 6ish years?
We are considering moving back to the UK next year. Can we still move back with this status? I’m assuming I might be ok with my SS but I don’t think my partner would make it the 30 months living in UK before his PSS expired or before HO potentially curtailed his status.
Wondering what sort of pathway if any we could still safely move back to the UK ? Or maybe this ship has now sailed.
I currently work in New Zealand as a diagnostic radiographer and have a salary of equivalent 58k gbp per year before tax.
Is it nuts to be considering coming back to the UK? Being on Europe’s doorstep again is really calling to me but I might be romanticising what the UK is like and being a radiographer in the NHs.
I’ve been hearing that it’s been increasingly harder to get jobs in the UK as a radiographer. Especially as a new graduate band 5. I’m not currently in the UK. Is the job market as bad as people say. How is it getting a band 6 position. Is the job market just flooded? I have a good few years of experience and some cross sectional experience (10+ years of radiography experience) and just wondering if I’m cooked if I want to venture back to the UK with the current job market?
Wondering if the Eastern Suburbs like Greenridges, Barton, Sandhills, Risinghurst are still considered “dodgy” or whether this is a safe place to live?
Wondering how old you were when you purchased your first home in Oxfordshire, how much it cost and if you like your neighbourhood?
Wondering how old you were when you bought your first home in Edinburgh, what it cost and if you like your neighbourhood?
Where is one area in Edinburgh you’d never live in?
I’m a radiographer currently living abroad who has worked in General, CT, Litho and am currently undertaking some PACs duties.
What sort of PACS roles are there within the NHS? I’ve been searching NHS jobs but don’t see many pop up.
Are these typically called PACS administrator jobs? Or should I be searching another keyword?
