[QUOTE="snake67, post: 979966, member: 17764"] While I am about to give you opinion and not fact, these are things you need to look out for "just in case" North of the "Peg"? LOL - you are a booger for punishment aren't you!!?? LOL Ever been there in the winter? Pick your worst winter in the US of A and muliply that by two or three. You will love it!! Lots of black spruce for firewood though - and you will need it to keep warm. First and foremost - best you pick a Canadian lawyer close to the area you are talking about getting in to. This is the first thing you will need to do. You will be feeding for at least six months and maybe more like seven and a bit if the weather goes south and the grass does not grow on you. The black flies and mosquitoes will stop and ask you if they can give you a lift. Frost and snow can happen in every month of the year and the temps can become unbearably hot in the summer time - it is a real challenge at times - but if you are there you will adjust - others did - so no reason you cannot. Think great pastures - surrounded by muskeg and wolves! LOL Awesome country though. Well and truly wild and free. Well sort of. Be sure there are no indian land claim issues that could affect you. Leasing can be an issue for foreign folks in some provinces - and so can immigration (especially immigration - do not even think to ignore this - it can cost you big time!) - and there may also be rules on foreign ownership of land - as there is in Saskatchewan - and work permits may be required and so on. Leasing in some places, you control the land only for the grazing period - once the cattle are off you have to open the gates - or that used to be the case where I was in 100 Mile House - so get your ducks in a row there first. This one is really important as hunting is an issue - and unless you become permanent residents or are under a guide you will not likely be legal to hunt anyways - and there are guiding territories that may indeed take in portions of your leased land - and that takes you back to immigration. Unless you plan to hire someone to run the place in your absence. Transfer of leases might be an issue - and might not. But be ready for this to jump up and bite you in the azz. You might find it tough to move cattle across borders unless vaccination protocols are in place. Blue tongue comes to mind - and sometimes those borders can be a problem even when you have all the ducks in a row - but we do ship them south and we do get them coming north - so it can be done. There are people more knowledgeable than me on that one. In fact, I think you will find there is a pretty good swack of bureauracry involved. Remember - that realtor might not be working for you as much as he is the commission - it is not really as simple as you might like to think because you ARE dealing with a totally different type of government - both federally and provincially in this case - from what you might be used to dealing with. And finally - if you are serious, I have a Manitoba rancher phone number and possibly more than one who might be willing to chat with you - that you might like to use for upfront and personal info. Good luck in this Bez [/QUOTE]
