What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Ottawa. They wrote...

"Expats in Ottawa often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The cold weather and long winters can be a challenge for those who are not used to it. Additionally, the local culture can be quite reserved and formal, which can be difficult for those who are used to more relaxed and informal social interactions. Furthermore, the language barrier can be a challenge for those who do not speak English or French, as these are the two main languages spoken in Ottawa. Finally, the cost of living in Ottawa can be quite high, making it difficult for expats to adjust to the local economy," said another expat in Ottawa, Canada.
