Moving to Canada

Post Reply New Topic

Is there anything I should know before I move to Canada? I live in the US.

P.S. I am not moving now—just planning ahead.

Usually, people in Canada are more polite. And they're usually more polite on the roads, too (except around Toronto) LOL.

Many times, British spellings are used, such as "honour" and "colour."

The Metric System is used in the vast majority of cases.

When you drive, keep in mind that the speed limit on highways is frequently 100 kilometres per hour, not 100 miles per hour. It's called "Maximum" in Canada, note "speed limit."

Canada Day is July 1st.

Okay, thanks!

planning to marry anyone in canada?

do you know family there, have dual citizenship? have a job waiting, any work visas, any visas in general, been accepted to any schools there?

basically, how well developed is your plan.

i doubt canada is looking for US immigrants right now.

anyway, at least one province in canada is majority french-speaking, and while i have never been, i'm guessing many places will use both english and french names or spellings, particularly out east.

they use metric more than the americans do, but it probably isn't metricized to the extent mainland europe is, anglos seem to like imperial for perfectly understandable reasons (UK, i'm looking at you...)

They have an express program for skilled workers.

I know an airplane mechanic who moved to Canada.

Its colder here!

Uh, yeah.. you should probably know that Canada is about as diverse as the USA and that the people and cultures vary GREATLY from Province to Province, and even city to city. So, the things you need to know are going to vary IMMENSELY depending on where in Canada you intend to relocate to. Everything has such a variance that it's impossible to give you any advice worth anything without knowing location.. big city? Small rural farm area? Permafrost way up North? 100+F weather desert area in the Summertime? Rainforest climate like I live in? While we do have a national identity, we're just as varied as the USA.

cool.

Don't worry Kiki, living in Canada can be very cool too, I imagine.

I nicely envy those who meet the qualifications to live in Canada.

'Muricans be like, "How do you Canknuckleheads survive in frigid temperatures?" and I be like, "We don't, we all died of hypothermia decades ago, and now the country is haunted by our ghoooooossssts!"

I can just say that moving to Canada with the Autism diagnosis will not be easy at first. Mind that there are so many aspects and points that you have to consider before moving there. If you have an Autism diagnosis like some of this website users do, you need to know about the facilities that will take care of that diagnosis w3hen you move. Also, don’t forget about the money issues. Find out if you will be able to pay for the healthcare facilities in Canada. Find out if you will be able to rent an apartment and take care of somebody with diagnosis at the same time. Most importantly, find out what you will do if you are short of money in Canada. Will you go to one of local banks (find out which online) or use the online payday loans in Canada at North'n'Loans.ca help with that?

Yeah. What goldfish said is exactly true. When I went to visit there a few months ago they gave me grief at the border because they thought, me being homeless, I was looking to add to their homeless population. I wasn't. I was just going for a short ride to Abbotsville then return to Bellingham. They definitely only want productive members of society adding to their ranks.

they rejected me as well.
