I do really appreciate your help.
I assume that if we get admission in school in Canada on 11TH Sept onwards ---He will be in year 6 (Grade 6)
And if we get admission in school in Canada on or before 10th Sept (DOB -10TH SEPT) -----he will be in year 5 (Grade 5)
Much appreciated.

Currently it's not an issue at all... I don't find any in my kid's school - neither my friends reported any with their children. Here is what the stats say:Spree said:Hi Qorax, thanks for this informative piece. Actually I have a young teen (14 yrs) and we are hoping to eventually get our PR visa while he is still able to benefit from secondary education. My biggest fear however is that of bullying. In my country we do not have this problem but I am aware that in many north American schools it is a major problem. I will not be able to live with myself if my son is being bullied in our new land to the point of his getting suicidal. Is bullying a big problem in Canadian schools? Are there provinces where children are more subjected to bullying than others?
Thanks for your input.
