hey thanks for the update about the winters in canada. Frankly speaking, this is the first time im sending a message on the expats, so help me. Im from chennai and God-willing, move to calgary in the beginning of July 2009. Tell me about the climate during July. From when to when is the summer there in Calgary? What should i buy and come from India when i come for the first time? or should i come there to canada and buy the things? HOw are things compared to things in India--Cheap or Costly? Would you also tell me about the children's admission-- My first son is going to 6th standard and the second one is going to 3rd standard. I heard that the admissions start by September. Now tell me whether i can bring them by January 2010 and get them admitted? is that possible?Kindly let me know. Thanks.
