British Expat, currently residing in Malta with family...moving to Toronto in 2 months....HELP!!

10 years ago

Hello there, never done this before so pls bear with me.
Apart from the whole move and finding somewhere to live, the unknown of it all (even though I moved to Malta from the UK) the main concern I have is my children.

When we moved to Malta I was a single parent and my eldest son was 4. He is now 13 and I have a younger son who is 7 (half Maltese). Firstly, I've googled and googled..but can't seem to find what I need for them to register in school. Secondly, I have been informed that for my younger son, I need a letter from his dad to say he is happy for him t travel with me, but what about my eldest (he has never known his father and his name is not on the birth cert), do I need anything for him.

Also, should I get them into school for the last month of term, or do I wait until the following school year?W If so, what do I do with the boys whilst I'm at work?

We are moving over in just a couple of months as me and my partner have been offered positions, very short notice and an awful lot to do.
