Hello,
I have built my own business here in Canada that works with adults with disabilities - www.enhancedcenter.com - however, my wife is from Trinidad and would like to move back. For those of you that are living in Trinidad, is there a need for programming for individuasl with disabilities? Would it make more sense to set it up in the POS community rather than on the outskirts of the city? Any help would be great as it will probably be within the year before we would move down and i would like to get as much of the paper work done as possible.

Anybody with a medical-related degree or license, who wishes to practice in TT, needs to send a letter of inquiry to the Ministry of Health of TT. Attention to Dr. Fuad Kahn. Dr. K. Is the Minister of Health. He is a very reasonable man who is aggressively recruiting medical providers to TT. If you are a PT, OT, SLP, Ortho-Prosth, RN, LPN, PA, CRNA, NP, MD/DO/MBBS etc...he is the one to contact. Start EARLY because the process is laboriously slow.

I hope that you get a response from someone who is living in Trinidad, I am not in the country presently but I am a Trinidadian. I am sure that there is a need for your type of service in Trinidad because they seem not be focusing so much in areas like these, at least not the type of program that you offer. Somewhere in the outskirts and I mean the POS suburbs or along the east corridor might be the best place. People are pretty mobile in Trinidad now and it depends on where your clientele are coming from. My only thought here is who would need the help that you offer, the rich or the poor, in other words who are the people with the most disabilities who will need your service and willing to pay. Government funding seems to be hard to get for some of the organizations. I will leave this for someone in Trinidad who is more knowledgeable of this situation to answer your questions.

As FlyboyWV mentioned, you have to start early. There is a lot of red tape that you have to deal with in T&T. Then there is the immigration paper problem. They seem to be stuck with all the old English laws. I think that it is much easier to start a business here in Canada.
