GUIDE FOR
Welcome to Canada, the land of diversity and endless opportunities. As an expat, you are about to embark on a new journey filled with exciting adventures and experiences. Whether you are moving for work, education or just seeking a change of scenery, one thing is for sure: Canada has something in store for you. From its breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cities to its welcoming people and strong economy, this country has proven time and time again to be an ideal destination for expats from all over the world. In this guide, we will take you through everything you need to know before making your big move, from obtaining necessary documents to cultural nuances and tips on settling in seamlessly. So pack your bags and get ready for a life-changing adventure in the great white north!
Research the immigration process and requirements
Moving to Canada is a big adventure and it's important to know beforehand about the things you'll need to do. For instance, you'll need to apply for a Canadian Immigrant Visa, which can take up to six months. You're also going to need to apply for a permanent residence. This is something that the Canadian government's immigration program can help you with, particularly if you're a skilled worker. That's because Canada is often on the lookout for people who have good skills that can help their economy. Keep in mind that your language skills will also be important. If you can speak English or French well, you'll find it easier to fit in once you reach the Canada Border Services Agency.
Determine which city/province is best for you based on job opportunities and cost of living
When you're looking to move to Canada, thinking about where you can find work is important. And if you're a skilled worker, you might have more options. Also, you need to think about how much it costs to live in different places. Think about how you're going to get around, how much it costs to rent or buy a house in certain areas, and what there is to do for fun. Once you get your valid passport and use the express entry system, you can start your journey. You might want to open a bank account in Canada and Relocately can help you with this!
The importance of having Canadian work experience and how to obtain it
There are many ways to obtain Canadian work experience. Some popular options include volunteering, internships, and co-op programs. Networking is also an effective way to connect with potential employers. Moreover, staying informed about job market trends and developing new skills can further enhance one's chances of securing employment. Regardless of the method chosen, obtaining Canadian work experience is a great way to kickstart your Canadian career journey.
Tips on adapting to Canadian culture and climate
Canada is renowned for its cold winters, so investing in warm, waterproof clothing and footwear is a must. As for cultural adaptation, make sure to show up on time for appointments and be reliable. Canadians value punctuality and dependability. Interact with locals and learn about their customs, traditions, and norms. Don't be afraid to ask questions and share your own experiences with them. By being proactive and taking a genuine interest in the Canadian way of life, you'll find it much easier to settle in and thrive.

Our life is full of metaphors; sometimes we don’t even notice them. However, if you look at today’s world through such a metaphorical lens, you understand why it can be compared to the river. It is dynamic, it is fast moving, every day it gets filled with new streams of ideas, tendencies, and innovations. Then, we can consider different organizations as banks of that river. They all have their traditions, cultural colors, and shades. That’s why there must be something to connect these banks, to make them united by common desires, ideas, business, strategies, language, etc. Therefore, our company come to serve as the bridge for that; we can build a connection between people, business organizations and various establishments.
