18. We, too, are considering a move to the North, but still a lot of

research to do. Can't quite afford to retire yet, so employment possiblities (I'm a software engineer and my wife is an artist) need to be explored. Hate to leave behind Oregon, though, it's ideal in terms of climate and elbow room (for now anyway) IMHO.

I'm wondering what the odds of being accepted are relative to your immigration "score"? If you're over the threshold, and all other factors being "average" are you a shoo-in eventually, or do they prioritize above the score threshold?

How's the mapping of SS benefits to their national retirement plan? I know SS is exchangeable into the Canadian system, but I wonder how the level of benefits compare?

How are the schools funded there? Many more questions...
