Potential Relocation from Indiana & Ontario Canada

Hi all!

I’m Canadian, husband is American. We lived in Indiana, where my husband is from (a tiny farm town) but, due to in law issues, we’d really love to be closer to my family in the Toronto area. Plus, I really enjoy the convenience of the city. I absolutely love walking places. Especially with my kid! My husband currently does work in a huge steel mill. Our politics tend to lean to the right more, but we’re also indifferent at the same time lol.

We were going to move my husband to Canada, but I already did the Permanent Residence process to USA and I do not want to do it again here for Canada and be apart, especially for the sake of our son and baby on the way. Additionally, we cannot swallow the prices of homes here in Ontario. It’s just insane.

What are the best / safest areas for growing families? With great schools? We’re due with our second in May.

Obviously, we’re reaching out to some realtors too, to explore the area more. I have travelled tons to Pittsburgh due to hockey.

Anyways, I would love to hear some perspective!

Husband is in the national guard too, so it’s quite easy to transfer from state to state, plus he’s training for firefighting. Any tips about getting a job in firefighting? That’s his end goal- getting out of the steel mills and into firefighting.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
