Yeah healthcare, rights, access to honest lawyers that will actually fight for you even though you're foreigners, etc.
The money is always the hook... the SUV and schooling, the paid housing is the clincher, but what happens when you violate an obscure law and end up jailed for days/weeks/months and you can't get them to see you?
Personally, and I have a lot of secondhand / anecdotal experience about places around the world because a LOT of people I work with get sent to various international locations (South Africa, Germany, Mongolia, China, Australia, Chile, etc.)... I'd get a lawyer's perspective about all this. What about your Canadian worldly goods? Any left-over legal obligations? Double-check the tax-free status, because their people over there may come after you for taxes or "payments" of some sort.
I do know that a lot of "distant" countries have obscure labour laws or completely a lack thereof and you could be walking a tightrope the entire time you're there.
Enjoy it if you can, Mo. Just make sure it's worth it for you and your fam in the end. :)
Good luck bud.
