Re: Renting an apartment/House in GTA
I live in the country now but spent most of my time in Canada living in the Beach. I always like the building on the south of Queen by the library, halfway into the park and so I wondered if it was that one. There are very often "Apartment for Rent" signs in the neighbourhood, it's more a walk up kind of place than an advertisement one.
)) Are we neighbours? Not sure about the name of this park nearby. It might well be. I'll let you know later

They are lovley pictures of where you are living. As I sit looking at them I am praying that this is me, this time next year. The apartment block looks nice. Keep us updated the photos make it all the more real.

Yes, I'm aware that it's a school bus - I was just surprised to see the same First logo which also adorns buses and trains here!

Re: Renting an apartment/House in GTA
Moved to Toronto a couple of weeks ago. Spending the first little while in a hotel.
Looked at 4 or 5 modern condos. 2 of them weren't quite finished yet, they were that new. Ended up choosing one on a very high floor with an absolutely stunning view of downtown.
The leasing agent took a copy of my letter of employment, scratched out the bit in the contract about needing a credit check and that was that. Gave her a cashiers check for first and last month's rent and she was happy.
(I get paid well, but not ridiculously so, you know?)
None of the leasing agents I spoke to seemed concerned about my lack of Canadian credit history, etc.

First Student Canada school buses are run by a Canadian part of the same company that owns First bus companies in the UK.
FirstGroup
I'm guessing that if you get a job with the UK side you could conceivably do an intra-company transfer to Canada at some point in the future if you meet the rules.
