Commute to downtown will be tough if you stay near the airport. There is only one shuttle bus to the TTC subway, which will further take another 30 minutes to reach downtown. Google Urban Living Suites or Safe Home Stay.

Ontario Weather

Ontario is a large province. Temperatures vary from region to region. The temperature can be different within the same region. Usually, January is the coldest month of the year and July is the warmest. Radio and TV news give temperatures in degrees Celsius (C). Sometimes they also give the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (F).

Ontario has 4 seasons:

Spring: March 20 - June 20

Spring is a rainy season in most of Ontario. Daytime temperatures rise throughout the season, but the nights are cool. The average temperature during the day is about 12°C in March, April and early May.

Summer: June 21 - September 21

Summer begins on June 21 but, to most Ontarians, July and August are the main months of summer. In summer, the weather is very warm in most parts of the province. In southern Ontario, daytime temperatures are usually above 20°C and often rise above 30°C. It can be hot and very humid in the summer. On TV and radio you will hear warnings about health problems caused by heat, sun and smog.

Fall (also called autumn): September 22 - December 20

Fall begins in September. The weather gets cool and the leaves on many trees change colour and fall to the ground. It can also be very rainy at this time of year. In some northern parts of Ontario, it can snow in late October. In these months, the average daytime temperatures are about 10°C - 12°C in most of the province. The temperatures get lower as winter approaches.

Winter: December 21 - March 19

In winter, it is cold and snows often. During the winter months (December, January and February), the temperature in most of the province is usually below 0°C, day and night. Temperatures in some parts of the province can drop below -25°C. In most of Ontario, snow can be on the ground from the middle of December until the middle of March. In the northern parts of Ontario, the winter is longer and colder than in Southern Ontario.


Winters in Ontario can be very cold and snowy. If you come from a warm country, you might be surprised by how cold it can get. Winter is a time for fun in the snow, but it is important to learn about the dangers of the cold and how to stay warm. Here are some of the winter clothes you will need:

 Thick, windproof coat
 Scarf – for around your neck or across your face
 Gloves or mittens
 Warm underwear
 Winter hat that covers your ears
 Warm boots that are lined and/or waterproof

If it is not by choice, go to Vancouver. It's warm compare to most of Canada including Toronto, but mainly cloudy or rain 8)

People work at -40C in Calgary so cold is not a factor. You have to take extra precaution to protect yourself from cold.Staying near Airport is not good if you get job in downtown as you have to wait long time for public transport You should stay nearby to your work place otherwise in case of severe snow you will face difficulty.Last year 2-3 times there was severe snow associated with thunder storm. Always see the apartment you will stay must have good heating system .

Hi Smileforu,

I have never heard about 15 days to land after stamping. Can you please give a little more detail?

As you are planning to land 2 to 3 months later (Oct or Nov), I assume you do not have your visa stamped already?

This is a very good idea, if you are planning to only complete your landing for now. Vancouver does not get very cold. Once you have completed your landing process in Vancouver you can move to the city of your choice for job or setting up business.

You may have to get new health cards and swap your driving licenses later, but other than that you will have no restriction in where you can live.
