I have done some research on finding (rental) or larger multinational companies (Calgary Area) that specialize or are looking for fully furnished exec. family rentals to foreign workers on 1 or 2 yr leases.
Could t seem to find anything. Is there such a thing?

Hi Martin, those companies do exist. In Calgary I found it was more in demand back in 2008 and 2009, then with the economy shift companies were not sending out employees quite so much.
One of the companies I worked with in Calgary was Welcome Home Relocations http://whrelocations.com/. I found them to be very professional. You could try contacting them to see what sort of homes and areas their clients are looking for.

I will definitely do that and thank you for the advise.
