Thanks Fishy and Tiggy! Both Dartmouth and Cape Brenton were on the lists to explore, so I was happy to hear that and even more happy for more recommendations!
Fishy, I will be heading to my inbox ASAP!
Until recently, we lived directly in Cleveland...a very large, very urban city with some good ethnic neighbourhoods. (We lived in the Irish neighbourhood of WestPark .) In America, we seem to have the OPPOSITE of major Canadian cities; major city equals HORRENDOUS school system. Perhaps it is just the major INDUSTRIAL cities (or former industrial cities with the way the economy is going) with horrible school systems. The husband and I went to private Catholic schools; we were NOT going to subject our kids to that, so we moved right outside of Cleveland's border so we could still be a part of Cleveland but send the kids to a good public school. (Cleveland was just voted the most miserable city by Forbes Magazine BTW.)
We are looking forward to our trip this year and the more suggestions, opinions and information the better! Husband is in banking and finance so he is concerned about work. (We are looking into him taking some courses regarding the Canadian economy, regulations, accounting, that sort of thing, to put him in an even better position.) Ideally, he will be able to transfer to a division out of the country with an International bank. That would be the easiest, but we shall see.
The amount of paperwork is quite overwhelming to apply for permanent residency!
However, I have a degree in culinary arts as well as this computer science degree that I am working on (majoring in web site development and setting up networks) so Nova Scotia finds me desirable.
Perhaps I should pull out some the commercials and print work I was in as a kid and tell them I decided to go back into acting and modeling. LOL! Anything to sped up the paperwork!
