Which resource should I use?
We are considering a move but have not chosen a home.
Begin with the Landing Plan and school timetable. The scouting guide helps turn a first visit into useful decisions.
We want a second home rather than a permanent move.
Use Community & Property Intelligence to explore places and available property evidence. Bring the intended use of the home to your immigration, tax and property advisers; a purchase alone does not settle those questions.
Which countries have a dedicated guide?
Thirteen origin countries have a dedicated Le Strand guide: the United Kingdom, Israel, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Mexico, South Africa, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates. Latin America also has a regional guide, and families from other countries start with the Landing Plan.
How current is the information?
Business source checks are scheduled daily. Actual check dates and event dates are shown separately. Reports are dated editions. Live tools show their own source dates and coverage. A source check does not mean a new event occurred.
