Hi all, I am new to this forum and found it very useful. One of my friends got a job offer from a reputed company in Al Ain, UAE and HR applied for the Visa.

HR said they will try again.

I’m going to move to Cyprus, but I don't know which option would be better – buying or renting. I considered Larnaca, as the property market is less expensive, but I’d like to live in Limassol and now I doubt whether I can afford it. Maybe it would be better for me to rent. According to Tranio's online guide, the difference between prices for house in Larnaca and Limassol is not as big as I expected. Can you recommend some options? Who knows property market in Cyprus?

Morning, I am a South Africa citizen looking to immigrate to Canada with my family. We are about 5 (3 adults and 2 teenagers)in our family. With us being in our 45 plus age group we wonder if this is seen as a hindrance to immigrating to another country. My partner is a Police Office and I work as a Project Administrator. We should be able to have ±CAD7500pm independent financial support for 6 months till we are able to find work. Would this be viable? Obviously we will have to be frugal and be very strict in our budget to be able to not be a burden on our host country.
