I am not even sure how to go about this, but, I need to start getting my ducks in a row if moving to the DR can actually become a reality...
I need to start looking for a job, first and foremost.
Also, how do I find out about what the interest rates in the banks are? If I move to the Dominican with a substantial amount of savings, what do I do to invest it? i've heard that the interest rates are really good, but I can't seem to find any info anywhere???
Thanks Mountainannie! Do you have any idea how I can find out more info on this from Canada? Or do I have to be in the Dominican and go talk to a bank?

There are parts of DR with substantial French speaking communities. Suits many people from Canada as many Canadians can get by in French.

UMMMM... I think that the "parts" you're talking about is ONE part ... las Terrenas. And the MANY Canadians that get by in French are those French Canadians from Quebec. Yea.. I guess there are "many" of them, but I don't know what the percentage of Canadians are "French" Canadians. NOT TO MENTION that it's totally irrelevant unless the OP is French Canadian.
well we do have Scotia Bank here and I believe that they are affiliated with yours in Canada. There may be some Canadians on the Board who can help you.
Others can help a bit. what you are looking for are certificates of deposit that are available in large denominations but have a fairly short roll over time, say six months to a year. Then you are assured of an income for a year and if you do not like it, you can bail out.
Now note that $1k a month or so.. I think it yields about that.. is not a fortune here and it will cost to get set up. But if you are very clever
