Hi,
New on here and just looking for some advice if you don't mind.
Myself and partner are thinking of moving to Canada in the near future. My partner has Canadian citizenship through her mother. Were not yet married but will be married early next year.
Q1. Will there be any issues with her getting a passport and if im her husband will there be any issue with me getting to stay in the country.
My partner is a Social Worker in the UK and will be doing a degree in counselling next year. I work in IT at present but dont have any qualifications to say so. I worked in aviation all my life and switched to IT recently.
Q2. How much of a demand is there for a Social Worker in Canada at the moment. I know it will depend on location etc.
We know the weather in Canada can be harsh but we both don't mind the snow if we know we will get a good summer (prefer better than the uk's summer)
Q3. Where is likely to give us all 4 seasons like the UK but with a higher temperature in the summer.
Our son will be coming with us and starting High school possibly when we are heading over.
Q4. Where has the best high schools and prospects for our son.
Regarding property we were planning on not selling our house in the UK and renting for the 1st year or 2 and finding out if life in Canada is for us.
Q5. What are the rental prices like in Canada (obviously location dependent). We would more than likely stay away from the big cities as like here in the UK im sure the prices are high. Also what is the sale market like? Similar to the UK i.e will a £250,000 in the UK be the equivalent size etc. in Canada (suburb/out of town locations).
Sorry, think that's quite a lot of questions i've got there but hopefully someone can give us some insight into life in Canada.
Thanks for any help offered.
