Hello everyone
I have doing research for about a year now and am considering moving to Bermuda as long as I can get a job. I am a designated accountant in Canada. I will be coming alone so I was hoping for any comments/advice. I know this is kind of an open ended question, but any comments are appreciated! Thank you

I live in Bermuda,

If you find a job here, there are relocation companies that can help you with your move. But you can also look on Emoo Bermuda for apartments for rent, so you can see what is out there.

There are no taxes when shopping on the island, but everything is more expensive than back home in Canada. If you have specific questions, just ask and I will see what I can do to help out

I lived and bought in Bermuda for two years.
Bermuda is full of Canadian accountants. Make sure you have lots of info about your job. It needs to be secure and you need a work permit before you arrive.
Bermuda is an extremely expensive place to live and sometimes living on one salary there is tough.
Go and visit first. Just remember that the way that you are treated as a visitor is very far from the way that you will be treated as an expat living there. There are lots of challenges and a thick is required.
