Have you gathered all of your essential and important documents? Have you had
them translated into English or French?
* Have you considered buying health insurance for the time you are travelling
and for the short period before you become eligible for Canada's medicare
system?
* Do you know what you can and cannot bring into Canada?
* Have you prepared yourself for finding work in Canada?
* Have you researched Canada's labour market in general? Have you used the
Internet to learn about finding work in Canada?
* Have you considered living in one of Canada's smaller or medium-sized
cities, or in a rural community? Have you used the Internet to learn about
these choices?
* Have you considered the season and climate you will find when you arrive,
and the clothing that you will need?
* Have you considered contacting an immigrant-serving organization soon after
you arrive in Canada?
* Have you considered taking English or French lessons through the LINC
(Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada) program?
The best way to adjust to your new home will be to get involved! Try to speak
English or French as much as possible, even if you make mistakes. Ask
questions when you need help. Most people are pleased to help and will
understand your needs. With time, you will feel more and more at home. Canada
and Canadians will welcome you and your family into the larger Canadian
family. Good luck on your journey! visit:
