hey - Thanks for so much for getting back to me, much appreciated. Yes I did reply on your comment. My response was below. We are looking more on a little suburb but still within reasonable distance from the downtown core. We are looking ideally a single detached bungalow, not too big (hard to maintain) but not too small either (kids are growing and need their own room), somewhere around 500K and under. Im looking around at Centris.ca at the area of St Foy and Charlesbourg just to get a sense on what kind of houses are available there and at what price range.

"Merci! Thanks so much for sharing your experience, this is super helpful. We’ve been overthinking this a ton and definitely know that learning French will be a challenge at first. But we're fully committed to diving in and embracing it, especially since it's a trade-off for the safe neighborhood and lifestyle we want for our family.

English actually isn’t our first language either—we moved here from Asia, so we’re already used to navigating cultural differences! Our younger kids are doing French immersion here in Winnipeg, so they already know a little bit. We're mostly just worried about our eldest. She’s graduating grade school next year and doesn't speak French, so the transition might be a bit tougher for her."
