Dh, and i have been discussing moving to Canada from the UK for a while now, and we decided to go for it. Dh is a teacher, and just can't take teaching in the UK anymore. I think things are tough in Canada too, but i think overall things should be better than life in the UK. We should be able to afford a house almost mortgage free. We are thinking of Alberta, particularly Calgary area.
Has any teacher made the move to Alberta? I'd like to know your experience, what's it like teaching there, and steps involved to move there. I wouldn't be working as have small DC. Would i be covered for health insurance? Would be able to afford on Dh salary alone if we can pay for house outright?
Also i am not sure how it would all work. We have a mortgage, so would need to sell up, but would need a job lined up before hand. If for example Dh got a job offer in April/May, it would only give us weeks to get us all over there?
Any experience of getting a job, and the practicalities greatly appreciated.
