Good for you. So are you still going to use the health care system of Canada by returning to Canada every 6 months? Are you going to educate your children there? I've been to the Dominican Republic and the mix of people are very easy on the eyes. Good looking men, women, and transexuals - there is something for everyone. You'd be a catch for anyone you set your sights on. Finally, there IS subtle racism there. DR people dislike Haitians with whom they share the island. Anyone even remotely looking Haitian is not treated well. Lastly, beware of huriccane season which you are in right now. It lasts from May to the end of November every year.
