My Hubby came out of the interview, as good as saying, the job was giving to him, and just told to wait for the letter he said he would prob be 2 weeks time when he gets his, was your husband the same?

Edmonton has it's own web site which is full of information. We have lived here for 3 years - six months in a rental in Edmonton, which is a great city full of every possible activity you can think of, good schools and parks. We then moved east to a town called Sherwood Park which is really lovely but still no far away from Edmonton so an easy commute for us. Depending on where your hubby is physically working will depend on which side of Edmonton you should live as it will make commuting easier. Once you know look at the map and zoom into the neighbours and research them for homes, schools etc.
Hope this helps.

Hi Orla;

My Husband is a roofer but was let go since last May, We have 1 little boy who will be 6 in July, My husband went back to college to do accounts while he is out, but your so right there is nothing in this country anymore, its so hard. We have done alot of research on Canada, jobs rates renting schools etc & its all good, we will have to work but we will have alot more in our pocket! Our little boy also gets to have a great outdoor life & education.
I have to say Im not looking back at all !!! It will be such a amazing experience for everone too.

Its great to hear that you where a good while waiting for the letter.
Puts us at ease.

I have some sites you might be interested in for renting homes that come fully furnished. One is Apartment and House Rental Classifieds | Home Rent It might be off interest to you
