There is the remote chance that I may be facing the opportunity to come occupy visit BC as a long-term resident for work. Possibly a few years (maybe somewhere between 12-36 months, hard to say).
The company is a small place in Vancouver itself, not sure exactly how close to downtown, but I'm assuming it's well in the city core.
I need some insight from folks who can give me an idea about what it would be like for a family of 3 (me, my wife, my 10 year old son) plus two huskies and two cats, to uproot and find a spot within feasible distance of the city. Cost, schools, regulations, legal stuff, things I should watch out for or have in mind that only locals would know, anything like that.
Right now my wife and I are just mulling over how we'd make it work, so we're trying to gather info. We don't have firm details beyond this. Assume we'd be working with a single known income approximately equivalent to a US $60-65k per year.
Obviously the EBRs would be staying at a secure undisclosed location in the States.
