Hi all
I am new to this forum so I guess a polite introduction is called for.
My wife and I and our 3 kids are looking to emigrate to Calgary hopefully this time next year. We applied in June last year and, like lots of others, are waiting to hear from CHC for medicals.
We have heard that many Calgarians rent out their basements to newly arrived families. Has anyone tried this and, if so, would you recommend it over simply renting an entire house ?
Thanks in advance for any replies
