What do I need to know before retiring in Toronto?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Toronto, they said...

"Before retiring in Toronto, expats should research the cost of living in the city, as it is one of the most expensive cities in the country. They should also familiarize themselves with the Canadian healthcare system, as it is publicly funded and provides universal coverage. Additionally, expats should research the different neighborhoods in Toronto to find the one that best suits their needs. It is also important to research the different visa requirements for expats, as well as the tax implications of living in Canada. Finally, expats should take the time to explore the city and get to know the culture and people of Toronto," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Toronto, Canada.

"I have a relocation company in Toronto helping primarily corporate clients and their families from all over the world with all aspects of their move to Toronto. I also work with an affiliate who has assistants working across Canada. Together we can assist with government cards and forms, school admissions, home finding, city orientation and more. This is a great city, full of cultural resources, picturesque, loads of opportunities and very accepting of all cultures. We are one of the most multicultural cities in the world!!! Language training is abundant, public transportation, continuing education are all available at a reasonable cost. The cost of housing and the overall cost of living is high. In order for me to assist you, you must have your employment in place as there are not many people who will rent to you without this. Once you are working here legally you can get your medical coverage (OHIP) as well. I can direct you to the appropriate immigration lawyers, international movers, etc. as part of my service. Please feel free to drop me a line with your questions here: [email protected] or visit my site at www.gtarelocation.com for more information," commented one expat who made the move to Toronto, Canada.
