WHAT IS OUR CHANNEL ABOUT: We hope to be your virtual guide to help smooth your transition to Canada! Newcomers should prioritize securing a place to live by understanding the local rent dynamics and exploring subsidized housing options. While diving into the Canadian workforce, it's crucial to work on obtaining a driver's license (though using the subway and the bus are also great options!). We also walk you through getting a car and home insurance, acquiring an OHIP Card, and pursuing educational financial aid programs like OSAP. Understanding the cost of living is pivotal, influencing choices from phone plans to shopping for clothes. Government assistance programs, like ODSP, child benefits, and daycare ensure a smooth integration into the Canadian way of life. We also discuss Islamic schools, homeschooling, and public schools to help ease your children’s transition. A Little Bit About Us: Since moving to Canada, we have learned A LOT! We only wish there was someone to guide us when we first moved here - it definitely would have saved us a lot of money and time. We hope to be that virtual guide for you! Welcome to The Last Stop!
