Yes, It's a great reading!
This book is really very useful. It explains in details everything you need for planning move or visit Canada. There are thousands of tips and how-to's.

Information On Almost Everything
This book touches on just about everything you might think of when you're planning your move to Canada, including buying a car, banks, public transit, temporary accommodations, the health system, different kinds of insurance, finding employment, and more. Note that this book is not for people who want comprehensive instructions on how to obtain a visa, although it has lots of good information about it.

Not recommended for Americans
This is an overlong tome written too obviously by a British gent, complete with quaint British prejudices.

Most of the information contained within may be new to Europeans, but Americans wishing to emigrate to Canada will not find it very useful, other than to confirm that America and Canada have very similar modes of daily life.

A better book is "How to Move to Canada: a Primer for Americans."

Comprehensive
This offers a comprehensive overview of the daily details of living in Canada. It does not provide much information for retiress wishing to move or live there.

A great help to those wishing to live in sunny/freezing Canada
This book has proved to be an invaluable source of information about living in Canada (I split my time between Ontario and London). It covers everything you could wish to know, from the education system to buying a house, and from buying a car to the tax system. There's also stacks of information about Canada's vibrant entertainment scene and the great outdoors (of which there's a huge amount!). I can't quite understand Damian's review - the book's excellent.
