Hey Canadian girl!
I married for the love of a Swiss lady... We spoke for months over internet and phone before we made the plunge. We got married because we knew it was what we wanted. Now have 3 boys, house, cars and a great life. That all started in '99.
One thing for you to remember, you can come and stay for 3 months at a time, must leave for a few weeks, then can come and stay again for 3 months. (how it was in '99).
It may take quite some time to find a job anyhow, so come, check it out, check him out very well, and use time in you favour. Don't rush into the Swiss life since it seems so great until you've spent time here. The way of life is very different and if you love the Canadian laughter and smiles you get when you go to the Kwiki Mart, Switzerland is not for you. Smiling with a stranger is a sign of unprofessionalism. (so it seems).
good luck
