Re: Location Location Location
Just off Heritage Way. So it's within a "box" of Bronte Rd to the west, Upper Middle to the North, QEW to the South and Third Line to the east.
I think it's referred to as Glen Abbey, or Glen Abbey West.
It's 3 bedroom, 1 full bathroom, 3 powder rooms, large deck, small garden, driveway for 2 cars, single car garage, fully finished basement. It's what I'd call in the UK a terraced/row house (not sure if townhouse would be a more accurate description, a block of five, we're in the middle. Backs onto woodland.

Re: Location Location Location
I've just done this search on MLS and it came up with a couple of properties.
One thing I should mention is that the house was originally listed at $379, but it dropped to $350.
Yes, not a semi or a detached. You're quite right, if it were fully detached or even a semi it would be a tiny bit more expensive. I think our next place will be a semi or more hopefully a fully detached place. We're very happy where we are though at the moment

Re: Location Location Location
Thats a great shout, we will deffo be renting for the 1st 12months.
The only other issue we have of course is putting the kids in school, dont really want to get them in school, get them settled, then move to the other side of GTA to decrease my commute,
I guess I will just need lady luck on my side..
I can deffo cope with an hour, would rather it be by train of some sort, so at least I can read a book (or the Beano)

No luck, just simple common sense - it'll all work out

Re: Location Location Location
Seriously though have you looked at whats available in jobs in your field yet, contacted any potential employers here (not necessarily Toronto/GTA but other places in Canada)? &
At anytime have you ever visited Canada, or would you be emigrating cold turkey?

Re: Location Location Location
I havnt contacted anyone as of yet, we are at the very beggining of the application.
We have been advised 6-8 months from the london office.
Its kindda strange, As they say there is a shortage of people with my skills, but that doesnt really seem to be the case from looking around(not that i'm complaining of course)
Our plan is to get the PR sorted (fingers crossed, we score in the late 70's and I have a masters degree pending, that I should completed before we move out),
then we have been told we have to live in Canada for 2 out of the first 5 years.
Once we were soted and had done a few scout trips and a little vacation out Banff way (early 2010).
Then I would start contacting perspective employess agencies and so forth.
Of course I am open to any advice on my plan....
