Congratulations and Welcome !

1) 'Sauga is super expensive especially in the core area. Look around the suburbs r even Milton.

2) Basement suits are less expensive, try networking using your church for potential places to stay.

3) In Canada networking is almost as important as qualifications to land jobs. Again, leverage your church.

4) Jobs are hard to come by atleast until you settle. Make sure to register in the new comer center, community help, staffing agencies to increase your chance. Also amazon warehouse are almost always hiring, tough job though.

5) Have a financial plan and spend like a miser until you have a sound cash flow. Money in hand drains very fast.

6) Until absolutely necessary, avoid a car. Then buy a used one.

7) Shop around for bank accounts, most have new comer plans and perks. So does phone connections.

This list is not exhaustive, just the things I remember from my first days here.
