A Guide that will help you plan your move to Canada

Immigrating to Canada is a big decision and along with it comes the important paperwork too.  You should carefully keep these documents practical and within your reach, prior to your planning to immigrate to Canada. You need to have these documents beforehand because after moving the difficulties to obtain these documents will increase.   

The documents required consist of a Birth certificate, passport, marriage or divorce paperwork, educational certificates that includes college diplomas and school leaving documents, and some additional papers.   

If you have got children or siblings who are still in school, you must acquire their current school records (this helps your child to get into the right grade while transferring schools).  

This is very crucial if you wish to travel to Canada. Canada is known to have a free health care system. But it is only accessible to the citizens of Canada. You will need travel health insurance that will cover you for any medical emergency in the initial weeks after you arrive in Canada.   

Having health coverage is important as health emergencies could turn out to be extremely expensive. You must look through the trusted organizations that help you cover these costs at a reasonable price. You can seek help online and find out the quote to compare to various websites too.  

These include vaccination records and certificates, radiographs, dental prescriptions, and other medical records you arrive in Canada. Vaccination records for children are necessary while enrolling in a Canadian School.  

Driver’s License duplicate copy- You will be permitted to drive in Canada instantly after landing with a driver’s license issued by your country too. If you are thinking of buying a car in Canada that will grant you an excessive discount too. You should have a good driving record in your home country. We will also suggest you bring along your document of insurance history with you.

There is a Monetary Instrument Report that needs to be filled and a Cross-Border Currency Form.   

If you do not do so, as a penalty, all the amount above $10,000 will be confiscated from you. The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) holds the authority to do so. If not that, then you will be asked to pay a penalty fee as a fine for encroaching this law by the federal government of Canada.  

Canada has extreme winters. If you have decided to move to a country like Canada you must be aware of the climate that it has. Canada overall has very pleasant weather but there are certain provinces and territories where the cold is frosting and unpredictable.

A warm pair of gloves, hat, snowshoes/ boots, thermals, a jacket could go a long way to keep you warm in the biting winter of the country. Your wardrobe essentials also depend upon your time of arrival. Whether it’s summer or winter you should be ready to be dressed accordingly.
