Preparing for your first 3 months in Canada

When you’re moving to Canada, there’s a lot you’ll need to do in your initial three months, even as you settle into your new country. Your financial stability will be of utmost importance, so you’ll need to create a budget, open a bank account, get a credit card, and start building your Canadian credit history. In addition, you’ll need to find a suitable place to live. You also have to get a Social Insurance Number (SIN), figure out your transportation options, register for provincial healthcare, and enrol your children in school.
If you haven’t already, you’ll want to fast-track your job search in Canada. This may involve understanding the job market, creating a Canadian-style resume, networking with professionals in your industry, or preparing for job interviews.
