My sons loved the city I impulsively moved to. It was a city that had lots of opportunity IF you were bilingual with your original language being French. If you were originally English and fluently bilingual with french but did not have a french last name....good luck getting the career jobs. I was mostly english with only a smattering of french so I wasn't even bilingual. I Should have known I wouldn't go far without the french but I went there anyway and blew whatever savings we had with little career prospects. My sons enjoyed Ottawa though.

We had to move back to this tiny little place with no career paths to financially start over. One son is now moving to Texas in April and the other is trying to figure out what he wants to do. Hopefully, it involves getting out of here.
