Toronto subway img_2268-1If you’re thinking of immigrating to Toronto, or if you’ve recently arrived, a great resource is the City of Toronto Immigration & Settlement Portal.

It can help you with questions large and small, including:

What’s the cost of living in Toronto?

How can I find a home to buy or rent? How do I learn about different Toronto neighborhoods?

How do I arrange for health care or for temporary health insurance?

How do I find a job in Toronto?

How do I find child care or enroll my child in school?

How do I get around by public transportation or get insurance for my car?

And if this city website doesn’t answer your questions, check out this province-wide resource for newcomers to Ontario: Settlement.org.
