The real experience of immigrating to Canada with permanent residence
Five things I wish I knew before immigrating to Canada as a permanent resident
(Personal experience of an immigrant with permanent residence in Canada)
I at the beginning of 2022 as Permanent Resident I immigrated to Canada.
Permanent residence in Canada has many advantages; including the fact that you can live, work or study anywhere in the country, have access to many of the same social services as Canadian citizens, and, if you have the necessary conditions, in the future for Canadian citizenship take action
However, even with this stability and security, like many expats, I learned some things the hard way and through personal experience. Now that I look back, these There are five things I wish I knew before immigrating to Canada.
1) Canada’s heat can be as intense as its cold
I was fully prepared for the Canadian cold.
I had done a lot of research and spent hours reading about blizzards, freezing, and frostbite. But something I was not quite prepared for, Extreme weather differences in different Canadian cities was
for example, Vancouver It has a milder climate, however Toronto – The city where I live – in January the average temperature is approx 7- degrees Celsius has
In contrast, summers are completely different; The average temperature in July is approx 27 degrees and the days above 30 degrees They are not few.
If I knew Canadian summers would get this hot, I wouldn’t have given away all my summer clothes before I moved!
2) Accommodation services for immigrants in Canada are excellent, free and available
Settlement Services in Canada are a set of free support services for newcomers, mostly funded by Immigration Canada (IRCC) And it is offered through local organizations.
This service helps immigrants in areas such as:
Employment and employment
housing
language learning
Familiarity with daily life in Canada
I only contacted one of these centers after a friend’s recommendation, some time after arriving in Canada, and I was really surprised at the amount of support I received.
This organization helped me:
Adjust my resume according to the standard of the Canadian labor market
Find out exactly what Canadian employers are looking for
Prepare for job interviews and attend workshops
In addition, depending on the place of residence, there are more specialized services; such as special services:
women
The youth
French speakers
Or people who want to improve their English or French
Even some of these services can be Before entering Canada Received through Pre-arrival Programs.

3) Meetup groups and networking events are the best way to meet new people
Many newcomers worry that it will be difficult to find friends or social connections in Canada. In some cities, winter can intensify this feeling; Colder weather, less time for outdoor activities and a general tendency to stay indoors.
But the fact is that Canadians don’t let the weather get in the way of their social life.
In most cities:
Meetup groups
Sports clubs
Groups of interest
and professional and networking events
They are active all year round. Even special groups New immigrants There is also For me, these events not only made me meet new friends, but also played an important role in Building a professional network I had in Canada.

4) Winter essentials are not necessarily expensive
At the beginning of the migration, it is difficult to know exactly what gear you need for the winter, and this is the reason Unnecessary expenses will be
Yes, winter clothing and gear are important, but they don’t have to be very expensive.
If I want to summarize:
Roy A good winter jacket or coat invest
one The perfect pair of winter boots buy
Dress in layers: warm underwear, gloves, thick socks and a winter hat (Toque).
To save:
to Quality and features Note, not just the brand
Waterproofness, proper insulation and light weight are more important than brand name
And most importantly:
You don’t have to buy everything from scratch.
You can shop by knowing the weather of the city where you live.
5) Changes in immigration laws will affect you even after you get permanent residence
Many immigrants think that after getting PR, their immigration path is over; But this notion is not entirely true.
Permanent residence continues:
There are conditions for maintaining the status
and is affected by changes in immigration laws
For example:
Immigration Canada has recently extended the validity of tourist visas from 10 years to 1 to 2 years has reduced
This could affect the travel of your family members or friends to Canada
or program Sponsorship of parents and grandparents which currently only invites applicants who have submitted an interest form in 2020. If your long term goal Family reunification is, constant follow-up of the rules is very vital.
Also: To maintain permanent residency, you must at least 730 days every five years Be present in Canada.
Another very important point is familiarity with the concept Misrepresentation (presenting false or incomplete information) It is in Canada’s immigration laws.
This issue can cause even years later, for example, when applying for citizenship Loss of residency status to be Providing false information, even unintentionally, can have serious consequences.
