Jimmy Canada Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Hello Folks Hopefully I can be of assistance to anyone with questions about Davao City. My first trip there was Apr 2008. I have recently married (in Davao) the same lady I had met in 2008. My wife is an architect and we own a small business in the city. I continue to work here in Canada for perhaps another 2-3 yrs before retiring permanently in Davao City. It's a very modern and clean city. Now it's still the Philippines not Toronto or New York. But everything is there. In fact there has been to new very new malls constructed that rival anything here in Canada. It's hot, it's humid but that's all part of it. I can't say enough about what a great city it is. It's very safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to have another Canuck on board, we may soon out number a few of the others and will need to set something up for all the Canucks to meet up!

Alby Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Jimmy and all, I will be visiting (exploring) Davao for a possible retirement here from the US. I am sure I will need some residency in the begining or later so, how should one go about that in Davao? Any websites? Any 'not to do' things? What are the good safe and typhoon resistant areas to rent in? I intend to stay at a hotel at first but I am sure I will to rent down the road then may be own if I get hooked :) Alby.
