Hello ItzMimi, I havnt read the rest of the thread, just incase my comment would sound redundant. Moving is challenging no doubts and all the questions you have are valid. It's a major life changing decision and natural to develop cold feet. One thing I would suggest, cause it worked for my family when we were moving years ago, is to land softly. Come visiting with your hubby to come get a first hand impression of what it looks like;visiting just means an initial short period. If on the other hand, you would like to land ones and for all and not go back, it's best if your husband comes along with you for a duration of time, So you can get the support you would need to settle and make decisions. The first few weeks and month matters and you need all the support to can get to properly get grounded. I.e locate and build a new network of friends/ social support- people find this social network mainly from places like church, there you are linked to people who would give you moral support and information on where to get things, health card, Welcome to Canada- New comer agencies, Professional guidance e.t.c You may not even need to start with a menial job if you get the right support and right information from the Word Go! You wont have to go in circles for years because you didn't get the right information when you first landed. So all in all, please if your hubby would not be settling in Canada with you, It would be great if he can be in Canada with you for at least the first few weeks/ months when you need the most support. Then he can return onces you are settled or beginning to settle down.
