This is a good read for new comers who are single and tell how you should approach living in a new culture and  making friends. It suggests to learn Canadian English even if you know this language well to make network. It gives tips about managing your money, goal management and keeping high motivational levels. It encourages to ask for help, celebrate the new culture, holidays and to enjoy weather.

I have posted this web series before.  It is a group of New Canadians sharing their experiences and offering advice for people coming to Canada.  I believe the videos on Finding Work, The Language Barrier, and Advice for New Canadians offers some great insights.
