Can you do it? How many points do you have? Leah has more points for moving to Canada than I do.
Also, remember, I know the unemployment rate in the US isn't currently high, but both you and Jen have jobs here, although I know you aren't happy with yours and that's valid. My understanding is that the unemployment rate is higher in Canada. I knew a fair number of teachers who moved to the U.S. to teach here cuz they couldn't find jobs in Canada, back when I was teaching.
I don't know why I say any of this. You and Jen are both smart and extremely responsible. You would weigh all these before doing anything. But, I am just letting you know why I don't feel like Canada is an option for us. (Also, I hate the cold.)
