Hi there

I'm Brazilian living in Switzerland (Zürich region) with my family since 2003. The company I'm working for has signalized with a possible transfer to Canada (working place in Mississauga). I'm really interested on any advice related with:
- Education: How is the education level in Canada in comparison with Switzerland? How does the educational system support the English learning process (in Switzerland they got special German classes for free)? Are sports considered in the curriculum or this is extra?
I have 3 kids (13, 6.5 and 3 year-old) and this is a very important topic I'm taking into consideration for my decision.

- Public transportation: In Switzerland I'm using public transportation to commute home-office-home. How is such structure in Toronto/Mississauga region?

- Living: Any advice in regard living places?

- Purchasing power: Does somebody know any figure comparing both countries?

Thx ahead for any input
