Why this blog?

I want to help you.

Because Canada is a great country offering great opportunities, but at the same time you must be careful. You are going to a country different from yours, with other rules and way of life. Until you learn them you may spend some money.

You may pay $50 fine at the bank because you do not know how to set a bank account.
You may pay $500 extra at the phone company because you do not know what services to ask for.
You may pay $1,000 extra when buying furniture because you do not know where to look for affordable items.
You may pay $2,000 extra for a car because you do not know how to discuss with the car dealer or where to find cheap cars.
You may pay $3,000 extra for health because you do not know in advance what you are insured for.

I want to share with you my experience so you can now in advance some things and avoid making mistakes. Furthermore, you may learn how to make legally some extra money which is extremely useful when you are a new immigrant.

Still in order to help you I wrote a book inspired from the experience of many recent immigrants and foreign students in Canada. This book is pocket style and is written in the Internet FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) style and comprises over 350 concrete questions and detailed answers.

You may check details about this UNIQUE book HERE.

Welcome to Canada and best of luck in your new life!
