I moved to Belize in January of 2012, applied for and got my work permit in 5 weeks (which I hear is a bit of a record), got my social security card and now I am working on my residency. I am working as a RE/MAX sales representative, showcasing the Toledo District in Belize. I am also the editor (1 edition under my belt) of the BTIA Toledo tourism paper, The Howler.

Hi, nice to hear that other Canadian's are doing the same thing we are still trying to do. We are just waiting for our house to sell, then we are off to Belize. We don't have a specific location picked yet, cause we've never been there. We are a young Canadian family with 4 children ages 12-11-9 1/2-7 1/2. They are soo very excited about the move. My husband is retired and we would not have to work to begin, but will eventually would like to.

I was wondering if you had moved already and how was your experience, plus, what area did you end up moving?? We dream of being near the ocean, but not on the San Pedro Island, since I feel it would be too dangerous for our family during hurricane season...

Warm Regards,
From Moncton, New Brunswick
Canada

Hello Wendy, well it sounds like you have it all under control now...its been about 6 months now since you went to Belize and I want to know if you still love it??? I am looking to relocate to Belize with my husband Mack in the near future, I will be working for a company already est. there in Belize City and have heard horror stories about crime and so on. I was trying to find someone who could give us an honest answer as what we can expect there... Greatfully I will not have the headache you had with work permits as the company I will be working with will handle all that. please feel free to contact me via email or phone. 352-989-3065 or howey611@gmail.com Good luck

Wendy, I see you've made the move that I so desparately am trying to make. I'm a single mother of 2 and would like to provide my kids a simpler slower paced life. My big concern is finging employment in Belize. Once I have a job secured, I'd feel much more comfortable moving there. Any ideas on how to become employed in Belize. I have a Bachelors of Science and working towards a MBA in Management. Your input is greatly appreciated.
