Moving to Canada is a major life decision that is exciting, full of opportunity, and, let’s be honest, a little overwhelming. Whether you’re immigrating alone, with a partner, or your entire family, there’s a lot to plan before boarding your flight.
That’s why we created the Canadian Pre-Arrival Checklist Guide. It’s your step-by-step companion to prepare for life in Canada. From organizing your documents and opening a bank account to packing smart and finding a place to live, we’ve laid it all out clearly by timeline: 3 months, 2 months, and 1 month before your move.
Because getting ready to land should feel empowering, not stressful.
This isn’t just another list, it’s a roadmap designed with your journey in mind.
