Hi fellows.
We,ll be landing in September 2011 .
My husband will go back in a month to middle east and me and my 3 kids will be living in Canada.
I want to know which is a better place to live i.e thorncliff park in Toronto or Mississauga near Square 1 mall,where all the amenities,shopping centres,schools,clinic,public transport etc are nearby.
I am basically concern about kids schools.I,ve read Thorncliff school is quite congested .
Appreciate any suggestions.

Welcome to Canada.

Without going much into details, Square One area would be a better choice.
The quality of housing, schools etc.., are way better if you could move to one of the better condos there.

I would rather suggest a nicer area than the ones you mentioned.
Thorncliff is a big NOOOOooo...please try Yonge and Eglinton if you want to have easy access to this area

Thanks

Area around Mississauga's square one, webb drive, elm street, condos near Cooksville GO, these are all very convenient

Thanks guys for the replies...
Glad to find this forum...Actually I was surfing net for quite a time but can,t decide
where to live...
Is the area around square 1 is safe?like for living alone with kids....
Is there asian community around?
regards.

Indeed a great place to live in! Safe and candid! (unless a sheer bad luck haunts)

Like you - a Canadian .. but still DESI

Rida,
Thorncliffe is called either mini India or mini Pakistan. 75% people are hindi, Gujarati or urdu speaking. This is such a great helpful neighbourhood. Library, Schools, Mosque, madrasa, day care centre, park, mall, and grocery stores, halal meat shops, restaurants, doctors & dentists, pharmcies and saloons are just at walking distance. 24hrs TTC buses. In short, as a mom with 3 kids, you will be able to manage day to day life very easily even without a car and in husband's absent.
****Thorncliffe Park Public School is the largest elementary school in North America. Regardless of higher # of students per class, school is doing great and results are competetive.
Hope this info will help you to make decision.
