Hi 

My family is thinking of moving to Montreal, and I was wondering what the school options are like there. My youngest son would probably be okay going to a bilingual school, but my daughter is too old to start schooling in another language.

If anyone has any advice, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks!

Hi there

So, my husband and I are moving to South Korea and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for things to do (especially if I don't get my business off the ground). We're going to be living in Seoul, if that makes any difference, and I am really keen for any pointers or suggestions.

Thank you!

Hi 

So, I'm considering starting a Western bakery when we move to South Korea while my husband works at a university. I was wondering about how easy it is to get around and whether we would need to get a car, not only for business purposes but I was wondering whether it would be worth it for us to get around with in general.

Any insight would be appreciated.

I have been researching suitable accommodation for my family as my husband has a new job in AD.

We are currently in the UK.

Is it really true that most landlords will ask for a year's rent upfront!? How can most people manage this? I have been given to expect a monthly rental of around £4,000 (UK Sterling) so would need almost £50k to start us off.

Employer will be paying an accommodation allowance but I presume that is paid monthly....what do people do in these situations?

Best regards

My husband is currently negotiating package and a good indication of housing cost will be a great help. with thanks!

Hello there

I'm going to study at McGill University and will probably need to have a side job, and heck I may end up staying. What are the chances of getting a job in Montreal if I don't speak French?

Hi there we are a family from yorkshire moving to muscat in the summer.

We are coming out at half term to look at schools; we have three daughters aged 5,3 and 18 months. All the schools are over subscribed and the older two are on waiting lists at british school, aba, royal flight and tlc.

There are places at gulf international and muscat international so it's likely we will have to accept one of these places. Tlc may have spaces but I've read some bad reviews.

Moving to Angola soon with my three kids. My wife and I have been researching schools in Angola and there don't seem to be that many international schools in Luanda - certainly seems very few for a destination that has become such a popular expat destination. Anyone got any insights or suggestions for international schools in Angola? We're not too concerned about which curriculum the school follows, as long as it's international and offers a good standard or schooling and facilities.
