It’s really helpful in many ways.

I would like to add that service Canada queues are very long for sin number. If an office opens at 8:30 then be present at 7am if you are anywhere in GTA
Thanks for the great tip! Totally agree, if you arrive early you beat the queue!
Mam... can we book online for the appointment in the Service Canada

Thank you! Cheers!
Very clear information and useful....🤣😂😍
Great to hear!
Thanks a lot❤❤❤❤💓
Welcome!!
Plz do a vdo for Vancouver too
Unfortunately I can only hit the like button once … great videos! I wlll really appreciate if you could shed some light on Vaughan, Ontario ☺️
As always, your videos are amazing and super helpful! The credit history point scares me the most as you have to start over essentially. Do you have a rough idea on how long it takes to establish a good score? Maybe a year or two after settling?
Thank you! Surprisingly, it doesn't take long with the credit history. If you use your credit card(s) correctly, you can get a great credit score pretty fast. I don't remember exactly, but yes, 1-2 years is a good estimate!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
These are very helpful trying to move to Canada. Do you have videos on how to move to Canada?
You can check out my playlist on Permanent Residence, thank you!
cool content
Thanks!
Hi! thanks for your very informative videos...if I may ask, what is the pass card used in Vancouver, BC?
I'm not sure, but I think the transit system in Vancouver, BC is called TransLink and it's just a monthly pass. If anyone living in Vancouver read this, please correct me if I'm wrong, thanks!
Thank you for the video. May I ask where did you acquire the toronto transit map?
You can find it on ttc.ca!
I am from Ecuador, and I working to get the opportunity to move to Toronto. 2024 Will be the year ✨
All the best!
❤
These are so helpful, the presto card for public transportation service is same for Vancouver Canada as well right?
Presto only covers regions in Ontario. I believe Vancouver should have their own system. Cheers!
It’s called a compass card you can get them in London drugs or in the sky train station it’s also 6$ for the compass card
👏👏👏👏👏
Hi. This video is so much helpful especially to newcomers like me. Just want to make a little clarification regarding Presto card. Does that really mean that I can purchase presto card at a Fare vending machine at Pearson airport? TIA.
Thank you, glad to hear that! That's correct, you can buy the physical card at the vending machine at YYZ airport. Just follow the signs that say 'public transportation'. Cheers!
There's a package for the check list for 500 cad
RBC sucks - it has no account that waives monthly fees with a minimum balance. Other 4 major banks are good options.
Thanks for sharing that! I never used RBC before!
Is there any prepaid esim option 10 days, I don't mind paying for the whole month, because I need a local one (roaming or travel esim are so slow)
First thanks much for such informative video
Is presto card worth for one week visit to Ontario?
Please advise as I would be travelling a lot for five days at least
Presto card is just a card to load money or passes on and use for transport. It doesn't have an expiry date, so yes, you can certainly use it for a week and it's worth it. Hope this helps!
Hi! Can you tour in Toronto?
Hi! thanks for the vid, it's very insightful. I'm still confused about the providers tho, is it worth it to buy $60 for an internet provider giving 20gb/month? I am planning to go to canada this august for uni, and seems like finding wifi is pretty hard.
Yes unfortunately internet is pretty expensive here! Try and look for special deals. Or, after you sign up with one provider, you can switch to another. As providers compete with one another sometimes they'll give you special prices just to retain you, or the new one will give you a special offer so you'll switch too them.
@@LivinginCanada Thank you! I'm also Indonesian so kind of a culture shock seeing the prices of internet here. Oh and any recommendations on airbnb for like 3-4 nights near downtown toronto?
I am interested on aquiring both a phone plan and a cellphone when arriving through Rogers newcomer plan. Would you recommend this? Or maybe just change to a new phone before going to Canada?
Roger is very popular here, although it's not the cheapest, but it's fine. I would get the phone here, usually they offer very good packages together with the phone plan!
Thank you so much for the helpful tips. Shall I open a bank account even if I am doing a soft landing and will stay only for one month? Or shall I postpone opening it until I move permanently to Canada?
I'd wait until you permanently move here. It's usually set up within 1-2 days. Also, usually the bank would ask you for documents that you may not have until you move.
@@LivinginCanada Got it, thank you very much.
I know this video is a bit old... but I was wondering if you had any videos on moving to Toronto as a student going into college? Would this information apply to a student moving?
I think it applies, but it's not as detailed, for students' purposes. You can get a lot of information through the college you'll be attending, all the best!
Presto or Conpass??
Hi, please does this include every part of canada? Or Toronto basically
It's a general list, but I made this video with Toronto in mind as that's where I moved to
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have been watching your channel and I 💕 really love 💕 it. First time I shall come to Toronto March 25... please help me for a cheap accommodation...I don't have any relative or Friend.. please help me as because I have some eye problem.
Can I use just apple Pay or google pay or credit cards with NFC support for public transportation without getting presto Card?
From what I read you can use apply pay on certain trains like GO train (but I haven't tried yet!) On buses and streetcars you still need the presto card and ticket though.
I have a friend who wants to come and live here...hes very willing and able to work but it seems very hard to find a job here, from there...would it be better or is it allowed for him to come on a visitor visa and then look for a job and apply for the work one? I know nothing about this and theres lots of info/options but idk which is the best and gives him the best chance of being accepted to become legal.
The employer would first ask your friend for his/her work permit, so that wouldn't work. Your friend could perhaps just try to get to Canada through one of the Express Entry streams.
Is your friend able to finance maybe a diploma or a short degree for himself? One of the best and easiest ways to get a work permit in Canada without existing Canadian work experience is to come as a student first. He can get a post graduate open work permit for 8 months to 3 years depending on the length of his program to find a job and transition into a proper work permit.
Hello
What is your question?
I need your help
Thank you so much. If I'm in Toronto for only a day living near the airport. Then should I get a Presto card or the simple bus ticket?
I depends on how many trips you are planning to make. Transfers within a 2-hour window are free. The card itself costs $5, whereas just buying a single fare is $3.2-something... so if you're only making 1-2 trips I would just go with the single fare.
@@LivinginCanada Thank you so much. I can't simply believe you're giving all this vital information for free. Kudos
Do you know if the TTC buses run all night from Pearson airport to take me to a nearby Airbnb?
I'm actually not familiar with the schedule. A quick google search could help you out! Although I don't think they run all night, perhaps taking an uber might be a better idea!
Don't u back to indonesia
Hi! I'm going to Canada as a tourist and looking for work, do I also need a SIN but I will open an acc for a saving account
You usually need a SIN to open an interest-bearing account
I’m on a visit visa can I can all of this
For many things you need a work/study permit or PR.
I love your content. But your SEO score is really low. This is why I suggest you use tools like Vidiq or keywords everywhere to increase your SEO score. So you can reach a wider audience. Just a suggestion as a fan.😁
keywords everywhere score for this video: 18/100 this is really really low
Vidiq score for this video: 56.9/100 still low
Thank you! You're right, I need to look into that. Have been spending to much time on content and neglecting SEO :)
@@LivinginCanada You are welcome, and wish you all the best.
How did You get into Canada?
With a work permit, if that was your question!
Health card?
Yes, if you're eligible for OHIP you can get that right away too! Thanks for adding.
hi can you apply for scotiabank online?
I believe you eventually need to go to the branch in person.

None of the new comer banks accounts are not worth it unless you've money to begin with.
Your crazy to move to Canada right now. It’s on the verge of total financial collapse
