    Moving soon, Should child finish school year

    Good advice. We're in a similar situation. We're doing a soft landing in April. My wife and kids come back, and join me in July after the kids finish school.

    Hi Shiv, we haven't moved yet. Will only finalise our home once we're there. Thank you for the invite - will connect when in TO. Cheers.

    Thank you. I would be meeting landlords and agents, and looking at the properties when I'm there in April before renting. Which is better - contact landlords directly or go through a realtor? @aircanada I'd rather say we have a cat than get into issues later with the landlord, though I...

    Some apartments in Mimico/ Lakeshore are between $2500-2800. What's the area like in terms of safety, and walk and transit score? Thank you. https://www.realtor.ca/Residential/Single-Family/18914233/4507--2200-LAKESHORE-BLVD-Toronto-Ontario-M8V0C2-Mimico

    Thanks for the heads up! We're only moving to TO in April, so by that time it will be gone. Oh, and we have a cat, who will join us in July. So pet friendly is another requirement o_O

    Thank you both. I really don't think I can afford a $3500 apartment. Even $3k is pushing it. What do you think of this one? https://www.kijiji.ca/v-3-bedroom-apartments-condos/city-of-toronto/live-in-high-parks-bloor-west-village-neighbourhood/1324684826?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true It...

    Thank you all. Much appreciate your help and thank you for taking time out to write. Sorry, I've been been busy scrambling to sell off our household things. So many things to do, so little time... before we fly across continents. @aircanada: would you know or remember the names of the tall 60s...

    Thanks again, scylla. I have been to Toronto once, a few years ago. Didn't quite like the suburbs myself - preferred the city neighbourhoods as they seemed to be more matured and green. Or at least what I saw in a week.

    Ah, good advice. So that's out as well. The more I dig, the more I think we'll have to stretch the budget close to 3K. What you recommend based on these points: My workplace (when I have one) would be in downtown core. My son's college (Humber or Ryerson) is closer to / in downtown. Do we...

    Thank you both. I have two teen kids, a boy and a girl, who are territorial with each other :). Putting them in the same room would mean no peace for us parents. Looks like a 2 plus a den might be better for us. Though the thought of having no windows in a room makes me claustrophobic. A...

    COPR query

    Hello all, Asked this question in another forum, but no answers so far. Sorry for duplicating. We received our COPR recently. Under dependants travelling with you on the COPR, mine has all my family members' names - wife and kids. But on their COPR, under dependants, it's my name. Is this...

    Thank you very much for advice and links. Looks like you're based in TO or have lived there. Could you please recommend other neighbourhoods? From what I have researched, currently I have these in mind: High Park North, Swansea, Windermere, Rosedale, Trinity Bellwoods and Ronceswalles. I do...

    Dependents’ names on COPR

    Hi all, I have a question if anyone can answer: Under dependants travelling with you on the COPR, mine has all my family members - wife and kids. But on their COPR, under dependants, it's my name. Is this a mistake by the embassy or that’s how it is? Thank you in advance.
