7 Essential Things To Do After Arriving in Canada


✍️ Post Content:

Moving to a new country can feel overwhelming, especially in the first days. Here’s a quick and simple checklist of the most important things you should do after landing in Canada as a newcomer:


1. Apply for your SIN (Social Insurance Number)
You’ll need it to work and access government services. You can apply online or in person at a Service Canada office.


2. Open a bank account
Banks like CIBC, Scotiabank, RBC, and TD offer newcomer packages with no-fee accounts and credit card options.


3. Get a Canadian SIM card
Stay connected with local mobile providers like Fido, Freedom Mobile, Koodo, or Public Mobile.


4. Find housing
Look for temporary or long-term accommodation. Useful sites: Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, Padmapper, and Zumper.


5. Visit a local immigrant support center
They help with everything from job search to language classes. In BC, try ISSofBC or Success.


6. Apply for health insurance (MSP in British Columbia)
Most provinces offer public healthcare, but registration takes time β€” do this as soon as possible.


7. Learn the public transport system
Download transit apps like Transit App or Google Maps to get around efficiently.
