Does anyone know, where is it better to echange Euros into Canadian Dollars, in France or in Canada?

The thing is, at this point I have to decide which neighborhod to move in, hence was trying to find one with the best options.

Thank you, Steaky. I've got more questions though... Does it last the whole day or something like 9-12 only? Does it exist in every elementary school? Does it cost anything?

What are the options for a 4 years old child? I've heard of preschool, kindergarten... what is the difference? What are the usual working hours? Will they keep the child busy during the whole day so that parents could go to work 9-5? How expensive is this?

Thanks a lot!

Would the banks in Canada accept (cash) Travelers Cheques from American Express in EURO currency? I mean it should be converted in CAD of course, but will they accept those cheques or they only like seing those in USD?

Ok, I made a map with areas that I am potentially interested in. The thing is that those are arease where schools have the newly introduced Early Education System (ESL) for preschool age children. Areas marked with green pins have schools with the best raitings, so I would prefer information...

Thank you both for the informaiton. However, one issue is still not clear: Personal property, price is lower than $100K. As far as I understood, making profit between the day of lending and the day of selling the property means that the market price has increased. Which is quite possible, but...

Scarborough, is it a good neighborhood for a newcomer? How safe is it?

Thanks! World income after lending is good. No child benefit is bad, but I am not going to lie about my previous income, even though no one could check it...

Thanks! I guess, number 2 is the best since I would need to have money on my Canadian bank account on the very first day, otherwise I don't be able to rent an apartment... And good that this transfer won't be taxed.

What if a newcomer has a real estate in his country of origin? Should it be declared at landing? Will I have to pay taxes from this property once I become a Canadian resident? My guess it that if I don't declare it, I would need to pay taxes on case I sell it and get the money to Canada. But if...

How should a potential newcomer transfer his savings to Canada? At the moment I can see three ways of doing so: 1. Cash/travelers cheques, declaring upon arrival 2. Opening a Canadian bank account in advance, transferring all the money there before landing 3. Opening a Canadian bank account...

Hi All, The question is, a newcomer landed in Canada in the end of 2010 must declare 2010 incomes by April 2011. Should it be the income after landing (only in Canada) or the income prior to landing in other countries must be also included in the first declaration? Another question related to...
