Going on my second year here with husband and 2 small kids. Very safe place and for us, life is much easier and slower here than in the US. Don't know how many more years I can stand it here but I wouldn't change anything about us having moved over. I do agree with Charlene that if you have kids - get the school fees covered. Very pricey here. I don't find my household bills much higher than at home and gas is cheap for sure. "Western" items at the groceries are pricey but overall things aren't bad. You should try calling the Qatar Embassy in Canada and asking for more information, specifically a Marhaba(Welcome)book that can give you a very basic idea about everyday things like schools, driver's license, etc. Best wishes.
