Also any general advice on life in the force and general cost of living as the house prices look more than i first thought they would be?

My grand-daughter is a police officer for Halton/Peel region in southern Ontario , she is content in her job and the pay is adequate .
Housing costs will vary a great deal dependant on where you settle , check towns such as Cayuga as opposed to similar housing in Toronto or Burlington , this will give you an idea of the wide difference that can be found in initial cost . One thing to put into the equation is the yearly taxes etc , these are the 'Extra ' costs that take away from disposable cash on a daily basis
Go back in previous threads , there was a lot of discussion on exactly what you are intending to do . Colin
