Re: Living in Burlington ON 3 months - Happy to help others coming over
Have been following this thread with interest as my job is moving from london to toronto imminently so we (me, wife and kids 11/10) are looking at areas to live, and Oakville and Burlington are the two that keep coming up. We would look to rent at first, but seems like kids move to schools nearest the house. Do you find a school first and then a rental house, hoping that you can buy one near by eventually, or can you stay at the same school? Apologies if this should have been a new topic, but seems like you all are local to the area and can provide local knowledge.

Hi Shed Roof
We are flying out to Toronto on Monday after a long 4 years and are renting in Burlington. I rang the school board and they told me waht shcool the children will be going too. Mine are 9 and 11 years (both girls).
Good luck, you never know they might end up going to the same school!!!

Re: Living in Burlington ON 3 months - Happy to help others coming over
Hi there, new member so some of this may sound silly. Me and my girlfriend both received our IEC visas and were looking to move to Oakville and stay with some friends that were putting us up for several weeks. This would have help us find our feet. Unfortunatly that plan has fallen through and we are struggling to find somewhere to live. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on short term places to live in and around the Burlington area? I have been looking for furnished apartments for a while but most people are looking for a 12 month lease and thats something I cant guarantee. Any information or tips would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
