She has no excuse, she's a native! At least you can claim that you're foreign and don't understand French numbers.

A consultant I went over with a few years ago, stayed. He was 50 then. If you are determined and good at what you do it certainly can't hurt to try. It will be easier than the land of frogs legs and garlic as they speak English. You could always try French Caneda if your Mrs feels home sick

I have both visited and got family living there.
I have an aunt/uncle with a farm near Ontario. They are a bit hippy and have their own wind turbine and well so they don't have mains power or water.
