Your to-do list likely has dozens of tasks (if not more), from opening a Canadian bank account to getting a Canadian driver’s license. You may also need information about enrolling your kids in school and finding housing. Through Advice Matters, we walk you through the banking basics up to the “big deal” financial milestones.
Regardless of how carefully you’ve planned your move to Canada, there are a lot of moving parts — and you probably have more than enough on your plate already. Here’s how the Advice Matters Newcomer Edition can make your transition easier.
