Tips for Moving to Canada
MovingWaldo suggests that those moving to Canada should research the cost of living in each community and consider culture, amenities, parks, housing options, and safe areas.
As well, it suggests looking outside of large cities to small communities.

Burlington’s recognition as one of the top places to live highlights its unique combination of small-town charm and big-city conveniences, making it a standout choice for new residents in Canada.
