Canadians in Switzerland

Hi everyone, I've been in Switzerland for 4 years and still haven't met any other Canadians. I just started a facebook group call Canadians in Switzerland, I thought it might be a good way for Canadians to connect here. Once we get a few members maybe we can get together for a beer!

Great idea, we are not quite there yet, but will arrive around Canada Day.

Ohhhhh, I see, there are REAL Canadians around During the reign of GWB lots of North Americans declared to be "Canadian" but since Barack Obama moved into the White House, most North Americans became Americans again

My boyfriend and I, who are both Canadian, will be there soon too!

I will be there on vacation in August, and hope to be able to move over permanently in November!

Count us in, when and if we make it there!

I live in Flawil, Just outside of St Gallen. are any of you guys in or coming to the area?

Bit of a drive for us. We will be living in Melchnau, near Langenthal.

Anyone have pre-teen kids?

Good idea Tim...! I'm definitely in for some drinks.

From Vancouver but I've lived in Zurich for 13+ years and have a daughter who will be 7 at the end of May.

''Real'' Canadian living in Zürich for a little over two years. Up for stout sometime!

(Struggling to find a job after getting a Master's here. Don't want to hijack the thread, but advice appreciated. Are some Kantons more Canadian-friendly than others?)

We have a few Canadians mixed in with the "southerners" in our Flag Football team. New players always welcome, check out the events calendar for forthcoming dates or send a PM. We meet and play in Zürich.

Umm, what's a "real" Canadian?

Meanwhile, I still have one at home, make me an offer!

Hello! I am a Canadian! Nice to see others popping up here and there. QUestion- Do you think it is easier for us Canadians to assimilate than Americans here in Switzerland? I am not sure but have had so many American friends leave after less than a year stay.

A potential reason is that Americans in Switzerland are getting messed with in terms of banks and taxes. Now most (or all?) banks won't even open an account for an American because of IRS/State Dept. pressure.

Not Canadian myself but my wife is from la belle province!
