This is a helpful collection of the important items for any new immigrant.
Keep it up with more of your real time experiences and learnings if time permits.

+1 for your efforts.

A very helpful initiative - well done :)!!

Just a couple of points:

There are some inaccuracies in your post about income tax (basic allowance; sales tax % can vary by province; there are both refundable & non-refundable tax credits & they can be a lot more than 500 - 600$ ;) ).

Also, the post about driving licences is Ontario-specific: perhaps add a line at the start to mention that DLs are provincially regulated & procedures differ?

Otherwise excellent, thank you for doing this!

Once you arrive in Canada and open your bank account..get a credit card that earns cash back without the annual fee so you receive returns from your purchases..
