Things You Should Know Before You Move to Canada

It's difficult not to be enthralled by Canada. The scenery is stunning, and the locals are known for their friendliness. You start the day with a bowl of maple syrup, ski to work, and apologize to everyone along the way. Just make sure you don't run into any wolves and get ‘Ontario Immigration’ (also known as ‘安大略省移民’)from professionals only. From ice hockey and double-doubles to bagged milk, we'd like to teach you everything you need to know about living in the Great White North. Continue reading!

  1. Canada is enormous: For those who like the outdoors, Canada is ideal and there is so much of it. With nearly ten million square kilometers, it is the world's second largest nation (behind Russia). If that doesn't make sense to you, consider this: the United Kingdom could fit into Canada 40 times. If you just feel like walking the beaches, it will take you about four years. The east coast city of St John's in Newfoundland is actually closer to London than Vancouver (west coast). The size of Wood Buffalo National Park is comparable to that of the Netherlands. Canada is divided into thirteen sections (ten "provinces" and three "territories") to make it easier to administer. Take it one step at a time, one country at a time.

  2. The cities are world Class: The bee's knees of urban life in Canada is the bee's knees. Three Canadian cities were among the top ten most liveable cities in the Economist's 2017 list of the world's most liveable cities. Vancouver was third, Toronto was fourth, and Calgary was sixth (fifth). Healthcare, education, the climate, technology, and prosperity were the five reasons. That's right, these cities virtually beg to be inhabited. The Canucks simply ca-knock the ball out of the park when it comes to the important things. Oh, and Ottawa, not Toronto, is Canada's capital.

  3. It is very multicultural: People adore coming to Canada, and Canada adores hosting them. More than 20% of Canadians were born outside of the region, and this number is projected to rise to nearly 50% by 2031. That's an insane rate of immigration, but there's plenty of room for everybody. There are nearly 200 nationalities (and over 250 ethnic origins) represented in the world, including many Aboriginal people. Canada, we suppose, is just a huge, glorious rainbow.

  4. The curriculum is excellent: School in Canada is enjoyable. When it comes to educating their children, Canadians are serious. Canada ranked first with 56.27 percent in the OECD's 2017 list of countries' adult education rate (based on the number of 25-64 year olds with a degree). Maple syrup can be harmful for your teeth, but it seems to be good for your brain. If you find yourself in a pub quiz with a bunch of Canadians, it's probably best to leave before things get too awkward.

  5. The landscapes are lovely: Towns are lovely, but the spaces between them are much more so. 90% of Canadians remain within 100 miles of the American border, implying that there is plenty of space for exploration in the north. If you want to get away from other people for a bit (or even forever), this is your chance. Aside from scorching deserts and lush tropical rainforests, Canada has just about every kind of landscape imaginable.
