Hi again Collette,

Your question about my wife's qualifications is a bit convoluted as she is certified by the French government and teaches here in Portland, Oregon at the French American School. So the BC college of teachers (the regulating body in BC) gave her a provisonal certificate right off the bat. then they required her to take English Comp & Lit classes which she's done. After that she's now certified to teach in French in BC schools; either in the "francophone" schools where they teach in French or in French immersion programs within regular schools. In order to get fully certified she still needs to take a couple Canadian history or Geography classes. I have a feeling it's going fairly easy for use because of the dual language requirements in Canada, because of her experience I'd imagine she'll be in demand.

We're planning on moving to Vancouver Island. We both love outdoor activities like kayaking (which is excellent there) and skiing, which until you've been there and seen the mountains, seems like a crazy notion. Also my brother in law lives in Victoria, so we'll be close to family also.
