Moving to Canada, what do you have to arrange yourself?
If you’re moving to Canada it will be important to obtain the right visa. The right visa for you depends on the reason you’re moving to Canada, your nationality and how long you intend to stay in Canada.
Most people need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada – not both. Some people may only need their valid passport. So where can I find this information about visas or eTAs in Canada? The best place with the most information is the official website of the Government of Canada.
You don’t need an eTA if you’re from a visa-required country. You will need a visitor visa. A visitor visa (also called a temporary resident visa) is an official travel document. It shows that you meet the requirements needed to enter Canada. You can apply for a visitor visa online or on paper.
If you want to apply for eTA click on this link!

Can I become a Canadian Citizen?
Can I become a Canadian citizen? Yes, there are several ways of acquiring Canadian nationality. You can become a Canadian citizen with all the accompanying rights through either naturalization, marriage, or birth.
You must be over 18 and be living in Canada. If you are an adult, you can acquire Canadian nationality through naturalization. These are the conditions:
- be a permanent resident
- have lived in Canada for at least 3 out of the last 5 years (1,095 days)

On this website you will find an eligibility checklist. This will help you find out if you qualify for Canadian citizenship. For more information on how to become a Canadian national, contact the municipality where you live.

- Old Montreal: Old Montreal, lined with lovely historic buildings, is a place to go for great shopping and fine dining. While Montreal itself is a vibrant modern city, Old Montreal, down by the waterfront, is where you’ll want to go to soak up the atmosphere.

Living in Canada
Moving to Canada is exciting and new. It’s a beautiful country with lots to offer. Living in Canada is easy and the people are outgoing. Canada is an open country, with very lovely people living in it.
In general, Canadians are mostly friendly, unpretentious people who value honesty, sensitivity, empathy and humility in their relationships with friends and strangers. As well as respect for the privacy and individualism of others. This is where the “friendly” Canadian stereotype stems from.
So adapting to Canadian culture will probably not be that difficult. Still there are some differences. These are some of the things expats found different about living in Canada. Luckily there are multiple websites dedicated to make living in Canada easier for expats.
If you want more information about Canadian culture and social etiquette, try this website. You’ll find loads of useful information about Canada.
