MOVING INTO A FOREING COUNTRY

I have been working for an  international electronic company since 2005  here in Mexico and my salary is $2,000 per month. They have promoted me to work in Montreal or Toronto. I am married and we have 2 children.  They are 8 and 10 years old. They are studying in a bilingual school and my wife and I both speak English and French so we are not  afraid of living abroad.

I must  decide in 2 weeks in which city I’d like to work. So we are  analyzing the features of each one of the cities  such as cost of living, crime rate, public transportation, healthcare, climate, neighborhoods and schools. The company is going to provide me an apartment, a car and my salary will be $3,000 per month.

Toronto is considered one of the best cities to live due to the low crime rate, the high quality life and the environmental care . Montreal has the world’s best educated people and has the biggest North American college student population.

Montreal

Toronto is the biggest city and the financial center in Canada even though it has a high homeless rate. Montreal is the second most populated Canadian city and it’s one of the main North American trade, industrial and  cultural  centers. Nevertheless the climate is hard, it  annually  snows about  2.4 meters  and it rains abundantly during the year.

Toronto has  427 public schools and also has 80 catholic schools, English is the dominant language but Montreal has two public systems school and also has a catholic teaching system that is subsidized by the city, French is the dominant language  though  English is spoken by many people too.

After we analyzed the information about Toronto and Montreal, we decided to live in Toronto because Toronto has the right schools, the language, the high quality life, the low crime rate and the climate is much better than Montreal  even though Toronto  does not has an International Jazz Festival  and we both love jazz.
