OK im english my girlfriend is finnish, we are sitting in a hotel in ottawa right now, we are in canada becaus?

I know somebody who lived in a cottage in BC. You can do this if you have the type of work you can do anywhere, otherwise you are forced to live close to a place you can work. If you want to buy land and rent out cottages, you have to have the start up capital to get it going. If you want to do this in Canada, you have to figure out how you immigrate. There are business cles for immigration but you have to have a lot of money to start up to get accepted. If you just want to live in the middle of nowhere and don't really have the cash to get started, you can look into getting a job, maybe in Finland manning a remote lighthouse or a weather station.
