I would double check that the move will benefit you financially, by the time you've paid to move your family over and get set up, and given the cost of living in Canada. Maybe start a new thread with info about his salary and your anticipated budget, and those in ON can tell you if it's realistic or not?

Also if your OH is a trucker (you've not confirmed that but just going on your previous threads) you wouldn't be able to work so you'd definitely have to rely on his income only. Your teenager wouldn't be able to work either - just in case that's important to him/her and they wanted a part-time job.

I'd check out tuition fees in Canada, particularly if you wouldn't have PR by then and you have to pay international tuition rates for your eldest.

+1. It'll cost a lot more than 'several thousand' (figures around £20-25k seem to be the average for a family), and to move somewhere where you can't even apply for PR (again, assuming he is getting a trucking job) , and with a teenager presumably at a fairly crucial point in their education, is a heck of a risk.

AdynLucyC, you're obviously planning a long term move as you're talking about uni etc, but if you move on a TWP to ON, then you can't stay beyond the max of 4 years for any foreign worker. I know a move to BC is the plan, but that's very risky - what if the employer changes their mind, or the PNP removes their stream for truckers etc?? Would it not be better to move to a province where you know you can apply for PR such as MB or SK?

Just my thoughts anyway, best of luck with whatever you decide.
