Moved to the US in 2012 and got the green card in 2015 IIRC.
We love it here, but it also allowed me to discover how very Canadian I really was.
We spent a few months in Madrid in 2011 - in my case, the thing I liked the most about Spain was leaving it. Not a place for this septentrional soul of mine. I'd probably fare much better in Germany or Austria. But most of the crew absolutely LOVED it.
