Hello, any info would be very helpful. Thank you :)

Their immigration lawyer suggests they go (drive with me) across the border to Buffalo and come back the same day in order to get their passport stamped. I’m a little concerned that they might get questioned at immigration. Maybe I’m just being paranoid. I read somewhere in this forum that they...

Thank you. it was not a principal residence, I had rented the apartment out. Haven't sold it yet though, hoping it will sell by next year. In this case, what do you think happens?

Thanks for your reply. The value hasn't increased from what I declared during landing (declared my net worth/assets). It has been pretty stagnant. Does it matter when you bring the money in - whether it's in the first year or two years later after moving to Canada?

Hi all, Hoping to get some advice on this. Thank you in advance. I moved to Toronto in April 2018. I have an apartment in the country I came from, which I have not been able to sell until now as the market is slow there. My question is: how long can I wait until the money from abroad into...

Hi Aswathi, the landing went smooth. Ours had to endure 21 hours - we flew Eva Air as we were coming from SE Asia. They are one of the better airlines when it comes to pets. We had a 2 hour stopover in Taipei which is good as it was short. The process in Pearson was smooth - no questions asked...

Yes, we did. We got it within a month. Good luck.

I was in the same boat until very recently as a newcomer. The big consideration for me was a good high school. Decided to live in Toronto closer the school and for good transit options. Give us more details: How old are your kids? What's your budget for the apartment? How many rooms? Since we...

I'm south of Junction, in between Dundas St W and the Keele St

Hello all, just thought I'd give you an update - it's been a while and my time in TO has been exciting and heady at the same time. I recently secured a 2+1 unit at a condo, on the east end of High Park on Bloor St W, near Keele Station. Moving in soon. I sensed some of the streets there can be...

Ad creative here. Toronto def has more opportunities in media/advertising. I just got here last month and am seeking a job. Landed in TO, but visited Vancouver and had one interview there - the hiring manager confessed there are less ad jobs in Vancouver and salaries are lower than TO. Though I...

Thank you. Was thinking of including him on the list anyway. The priceless idea is great and true :)

Thanks steaky.

Hi all, We're doing a soft landing end of March. We have a cat who we'll bring along later in July. Do we declare him during our soft landing, and how? Thanks very much for your help in advance.

Thank you all for your valuable input. You've helped a lot.

Hi all, We're landing on 28th of March. This may have been asked a few times, but just need to confirm if you don't mind. What exactly do we need to make a list of, besides the funds? I'm talking about personal goods, such as clothes, computers, phones, shoes, small kitchen utensils (if...

Thanks all. Looks like I might go for a condo or a townhouse/ house. I hear a house can a little troublesome and expensive (snow removal, higher utilities, etc) and it's recommended to live in a condo in the first year of moving. What do you all suggest?

What I meant was, is it OK to hire a realtor and approach landlords or apartment management companies at the same time? Just so I get to see more homes. Thanks

Thank you. Saw that one as well - I think it's smaller than 1000sqft, perhaps that's why? Is it OK to approach a realtor for condos/ townhomes, and landlords directly for apartments? As someone mentioned that realtors don't really deal in in apartments? Will that be unprofessional on a house...

What do you guys think of this one, and the neighbourhood? https://condos.ca/toronto/heintzman-place-60-61-heintzman-st/unit-1428-W4034719
