Hello everyone,

Settling in Canada, like every new environment, can feel like stepping into the unknown and brings many questions: how will it go, how to integrate successfully, etc.
To help smooth this transition, we invite you to share your experience since you landed in Canada, whether recently or a long ago:

What was your first impression when you arrived?

Did you face any challenges while integrating? Any advice on how to overcome them?

Are there any support programs, groups or events to help newcomers settle in?

Do you find it easy to make friends or connections with locals and fellow expats?

What makes Canada a welcoming destination for expats?

Share your insights and experience.

Thank you for your contribution.

Hello

Been in Canada now for 20 years..my response won't please everyone but...in the past 7-10 years, the economy has taken quite a decline. Unfortunately a big part of the decline was blamed on the liberal government and also on immigration. However visible minority immigrants seem to have been unjustly taking the majority of that blame and xenophobic sentiment has been on the rise. To make it short, if you're a bipoc canada is not as welcoming as it used to be
