My wife got an amazing job offer, so we're packing up and moving to Canada. How different is the insurance industry over there? I'd like to stay in insurance since I'm comfortable in this field but I'm worried it will be a completely different game over there.

There will be some changes, and depending on what field you're in they could be considerable. As you probably know, in Canada the base layer of health coverage is covered by the government, so health insurance is supplemental. I think car insurance can also have some government role. You'll need to look into your licensing, there's reciprocity but you'll need to check the details on that.

I’m not an expert, but I have heard it’s not a huge difference. There are stricter regulations, different distributions, but overall, if you are willing to learn probably won’t be too bad.
