Some overseas guidance!

First and foremost, you need to make sure that your Visa or Temporary Resident Card is squared away.  There is no sense in making plans without it.

If I were you, I would look into the Phu My Hung area.  The living arrangements there are good for small expat families, with a lot of western foods and extra security.  If you want a little more space, as in a single family home, then you should look into the District 3, An Phu area.  They have very good houses and international schools there.

there are many nice houses and apartments in an phu d2 to live in, schools for children ..you should be there!

Hey, I meant District 2, just across the river.

I am currently living in District 2, there are so many nice new apartments that you can rent it easily. Also many international schools around. District 7 can offer more reasonable apartment and the international school in Phu My Hung is also a good choice.

The two areas mentioned are good for what you need, I would be looking at those and making a decision.

That's so exciting, I'm moving there next month and I'm excited to meet other Canadians!
