Hi all,

we invite you to share your experience about moving to Canada.

Here is a list of questions which might help the ones preparing their move to Canada:

What would you bring and what would you leave behind?

Is it a good idea to bring furniture or domestic appliances?

Any foodstuffs that are banned in Canada?

Is it better to bring a car or to buy one once settled in Canada?

Any advice for the ones who are moving to Canada?

Thank you in advance for your participation

Hi, from my own experience i didnt bring that much when i moved to Canada except for cash because the prices for furniture and cars and pretty much the same as in Europe if not more expensive plus when taking a plane you dont have that much allowence when it comes to luggage so i basically brought the bare minimum i.e clothes, laptop, camera. no food as there are many restrictions imposed by customs.
i got all my furniture from Ikea, you can also buy 2nd hand from classified sites like kijiji (bought my car on this site) and craigslist.
hope this helps.
