Do you know where the job is? What company? Toronto is a large metro area. Just saying in Toronto isnt enough. If its downtown or in certain areas you could get around without a car....there are other areas you need a car...it will be difficult to get around on just oublic transportation.

Cost of living is high in Toronto....hopefully the company isnt low balling him with a cheaper offer only for him to find out he could barely survive there.

As for the real estate/credit Im not familiar with that. I have a friend who lives in Toronto who is in the real estate area.

With him being on a work Vida I wouldnt even entertain the though of purchasing real estate...only look to rent an apartment.

Does he know how to drive? Canada like the USA is a right side of the road driving country.
