Any advice would be much appreciated. Where to live, schools, jobs (my husband is a Mechanical Engineer/Construction Project Manager), way of life, standard and cost of living (couldn't be as much as in Dublin) etc.

This would be a huge move for us so negative as well as positive feedback would be great.

Thanks.

The answer of where to live comes down to your personal preferences. The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has a larger population than the Irish Republic, so do you want urban, suburban or rural? All areas have good schools, recreational facilities and transporation. I don't know about the cost of living in Dublin but Toronto is towards the top of Canadian cities. The standard of living is very good with Toronto ranked 15th in the world for quality of life.
