Moving to Canada – Things No One Warned You About

May 2, 2016 By itravelnet.com

The only things that we know about Canada are that it is the birthplace of Justin Bieber and a good looking prime minister. Yeah, it has some good steakhouses too. But this is not enough for you to start a life in this country. When moving into a new country, you need to learn everything that there is about the place. This will enable you to blend in easily without looking like an outsider. In this case, here is some information that you need to digest before you book your ticket.

The Weather

If you have always been torn between sun and the snow, then you will find Canada to be your ideal destination. Apart from the BC coast, all states of Canada go through transitional seasons. This means that you get to experience hot summers as well as chilly winters. Although the natives might be indifferent to the -25 degree climate, you will require the appropriate clothing to survive the climate.

Cost of Living

It is highly important to figure out the cost of living before you move into a country. If you have no idea about the basic expenses of the city, you will be dumbstruck every time you make a purchase. When you move into Canada, one of your first expenses would be the payment for the moving company. Therefore, you need to do your research and find a company that will offer you a reasonable price as well as quality service. It is safer to select a reliable and recognized company such as calgarymovers.net since you will be able to learn about the company and its services through the website before you make the purchase. The customer testimonies on the site will be of great help too.

The Job Hunt

Do not think that you will get employed as soon as you land. In Canada, applying for the job itself is quite a lengthy process. It can take months or years for you to secure a professional position that will suit your qualifications. Until then, you must be prepared to do a part-time job or a get employed in a field that it not related to your career. It is best to save some money to ensure your survival till you secure a job.

Tipping

Although you might come from a place where you can get away without tipping, Canada is different. This is only fair considering the fact that bartenders and other service professionals earn minimum wage which is generally about $10 per hour. So, when hiring a Calgary mover, do not forget to tip the employees who are working so hard to make sure that your belongings are transported safely. Of course, there is no need to tip if the moving company you choose fails to meet your expectations. By adhering to such values of the country, you will be able to create a good impression on the natives.

Apart from these, you need know that smoking in prohibited in public places and that Canadian maple syrup is worth dying for. Moreover, you might also want to polish up your French since Canada is a bilingual nation.
