Traveling with children: your immigration to Quebec

Thursday, 7 February 2013 10:59 by carmen

 You prepare your immigration to Quebec and you wonder how you go about making the most harmonious way possible with children.

Several sites around the web provide valuable advice to this effect. Here, for example, a few tips that can make your life and those of your children much easier:

  • Adopt a slower pace than you are accustomed to
  •  Prepare your child to their new reality with maps and books (history, geography, and animal and plant life in Quebec)
  •   Etc.

 

Interested in learning more? Have a look on the website of The Guardian newspaper in London. There you will find the "50 top tips for traveling with kids"

One way to save on accommodation, if one plans to stay at the hotel during the first days of arrival in Montreal, is to ask if family discounts are available and if so, enjoy. It is also recommended to book accommodation in advance so as to reduce the stress of the whole family.

Whether you opt for the hotel, or for saving money, for a short term rent during your immigration to Québec, it is important to make your home a child-friendly place, especially if your kids are very young.

So make sure that they can’t reach the locks leading to the outside, that they can’t climb the railings of the balcony, that the small electrical appliances (kettle, coffee maker for example) are not in their scope etc.

If you chose a short term rental, children will quickly feel at home in the furnished apartment. They will have more space than that provided by a hotel room and they will adapt more easily to their new environment. In addition, they will not suffer too much of a radical change of menu.

Ultimately , the arrival will also be easier for the whole family…

When will it be time to buy your apartment in Montreal?

Thursday, 4 October 2012 09:31 by carmen

Will it soon be time to buy an apartment or a house in Montreal area? Maybe. Indeed, Royal LePage, a Canadian real estate agency well known in Canada, published this week a serious study demonstrating that the housing market has slowed down and that we now have a buyer's market. market developments greatly worried the Federal Government over the last year. The excessive debt by buyers could lead to serious financial problems if interest rates resumed an upward curve. The Government therefore terminated mortgages repayable over 30 years, which had the effect of increasing monthly payments and reduce the enthusiasm of buyers. This is where the present slowdown in the Canadian (and Montreal) market comes from.

You should know that

«A drop in the number of homes trading hands typically precedes a period of softening house prices. Where there is reduced demand, those who want to sell their homes adjust their asking price to stimulate interest. »

Keep  your eyes open  because the  deals  are coming!

Let’s talk about your non-furnished apartment in Montreal

Friday, 22 June 2012 05:56 by carmen

You’re a future immigrant to the province of Quebec? You’re trying to figure out how you can rent your future apartment without knowing much about the rental market laws here. For sure, you’ll be interested in this document published by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), a trustworthy Governmental Agency.

«Renting in Quebec» will tell you everything you need to know. For example:

-          What if I sublet an apartment?  Am I protected in some ways?

-          What can happen if I’m late paying my monthly rent? Can I be evicted in a matter of days?

-          Can a landlord enter in my rental unit any time?

-          May a landlord include a no-smoking clause in the lease?

-       Contact information if you need to know more?

The link for a summary of the document is: http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/en/co/reho/yogureho/fash/fash_011.cfm

Good luck with your new home. However, upon your arrival, a short term apartment rented for short term in Montreal or suburbs allows you to take your time to find a neighbourhood you will like, a school appropriate for your children and THE non-furnished apartment that will fit your needs in terms of space and budget.
