Congratulations to you both!
Here in CR we will have an ‘online party’ [img]http://www.network54.com/Realm/Bobky/rainbow.gif [/img] … without you![i]If[/i][b][/b] you find a school willing to employ you, they …not you … must apply for a [url=http://www.costaricalaw.com/can-i-legally-work-in-costa-rica.html]work permit,[/url] but you are required to have temporary resident status, but getting a work permit is fraught with problems and in the long run, is it financially worth it?
Read the article on today’s [url=http://insidecostarica.com/2013/03/05/cost-of-living-in-costa-rica-increases-at-fastest-rate-in-eight-years/]Insidecostarica[/url] regarding the increase of the cost of living in Costa Rica, at the fastest rate in eight years.
While you [i]may[/i] get an account, you will [u]not[/u] be able to do SINPE, internet banking between different banks. [url=http://insidecostarica.com/2012/10/05/the-dinex-card-you-probably-already-have-one/]Additional DIMEX info[/url]
Read this informational website regarding being a [url=http://travel.gc.ca/travelling/living-abroad/taxation]non-residents of Canada for income tax purposes[/url]
Reading more info on this resort, it says it is located on 250 acres, which leaves it very susceptible to anyone going being able to go over the fences…
If the guard was located at the gate at the entrance, this doesn’t offer much ‘protection’ to either hotel guests or the houses there, just someone to sign people in and out.
Unfortunately not only those are involved with [i]’narcos'[/i] are affected by robberies.It is very difficult to get paid for any claim, of items stolen in the course of any robbery, as you have to prove that the building was broken into. Was the garage also insured? Or just the house? We had many tools taken from an adjoining garage and also the motor from a cement mixer, plus other ‘large construction items’ taken from a building site in a separate robbery. They wouldn’t pay.
I would recommend [url=http://www.solutionscostarica.com/relocating/]Charles Zeller,[/url]
Toll free from USA and Canada: 1-866-245-6923When we immigrated to Canada from Britain, many years ago it required the country’s need for a specific trade and a family member taking/accepting responsibility for us… which may have be required in immigrating /relocating to Australia. Not having to put out $60K+ …and then they can’t work for 4-5 years.
The are beautiful places all over the world, promising the possibility of greener pastures…A [i]Tico [/i]family provides their child’s school with a copy of their earnings signed by the employer, which in turn helps determine the cost of schooling.
There is also another special fund which is applied to families, but I cannot remember what it is called, but which may soon be changed, much to the disapproval/disappointment of many Costa Ricans.
In every country where school uniforms are required, they are handed down and shared between friends and families as the children outgrow them and keep costs down, so in the long run, it is much cheaper for families.
This is one reason, most public elementary schools in CR have navy blue pants and blue shirts.
I, for one, think [u]every school child[/u] should wear a uniform.
I operated a preschool and day care for over 20+ years in Canada and provided many stimulating games and puzzles for babies from a very early age. I brought with me, many variations of matching games like dominoes and jigsaw puzzles for children, and when I have visitors with little ones, they love to ‘raid my boxes’ for a new task to try. I have found that some of the puzzles ‘my’ 2 year olds could do, it is a struggle for many in first graders to be able to accomplish, at least until they have visited for a few times.
I have shown many parents just what a child can ‘do’ with one very inexpensive pack of playing cards…
In our town there is a man who teaches some of the local kids to make Robots with all sorts of ‘junk’ that would usually be thrown in the trash. Kudos to him!!Victoria, haven’t you read of the proposed ‘new rules’ regarding keeping/trapping [url=http://amcostaricaarchives.com/2012/10/higher-fines-for-trapping-wild-birds-may-not-stand-up-in-court/]’wild’ birds?[/url]
There was even talk of making it illegal to feed any wild bird or animal including hummingbird feeders…
I understand that many keep homing pigeons in other countries, although whether this is so in Costa Rica, I don’t know, but as an [i]extranjero[/i] you need to watch out…Indian accents are like American or even British accents, sometimes unintelligible to one but perfectly clear to another person.
In Canada we hosted an Indian student and met many others, and they were all very well educated and spoke very good English.
Hey…some folk don’t understand what I say, as a Scot!Agree with Les, the public schools here leave a lot to be desired. There will be a few that may be considered outstanding, but for the most part, I would never advise anyone moving here to put their children into this system.
