Moving abroad

As has already been said Serco are always looking for people in the Middle East.
Dubai is the place to be for quality of life and job satisfaction. There are opportunities there for the wife to work and schooling is pretty good with some schools following the British curriculum.
But don`t be fooled into thinking it`s all beach, pool and fun. It`s not paradise but very different to the UK. Some people love it and spend the rest of their careers there, some hate it. You find you slip into the "expat lifestyle " very quickly, ie being lazy, racist and having everything done for you. If you want more info on there e-mail me.
As for NavCanada, isn`t it the same as Oz, you need to be a landed immigrant to get a job offer and a job offer almost ensures landed immigrant status. A chicken and egg situation. Having said that people have done it so I guess it`s possible. Just be prepared for a long drawn out process.
As for Gib...no traffic, high tax and nothingto do. Or so I`ve been told.
