As a new immigrant arriving in Canada, one of the most important things that you can deal with is where you will be staying. It’s unlikely that you’ll have the sums of money require to outright buy a property or take on a mortgage, so it’s a good idea to start looking at what other kinds of housing are going to be available to you at the beginning of your new Canadian adventure.
Relatives
I’ve noticed that many people often choose to immigrate to a country where they have friends and/or family. This way they have a secure place to be until they find out about other living arrangements. This is also a low cost alternative to the other options listed below. As a matter of fact, it has been stated that 40% of people immigrating will have family in the country which will help them get settled in. However,
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t plan ahead and not find out about housing and other alternatives. It’s always great to be able to plan ahead than get stuck in a uncomfortable situation.
Hotels as Temporary Accommodation
One of the most common options for people arriving in Canada is temporary accommodation; this will be either a hotel or a hostel, depending on what you can afford. The majority of hotels in Canada provide private rooms that come with bathrooms, telecommunications, the internet and entertainment such as a TV for you to make use of. Some even have small kitchens so you can cook for yourself instead of having to use the restaurant each day.
Of course, this can be quite a costly venture for you but if you have some money or have found a job that can help you afford this, then hotels can be the best choice when it comes to temporary accommodation for new immigrants in Canada. The best thing to do is look for the best hotels in the area that provide you with this service; it’s really common in Canada, so you should have no problem locating this kind of service for a price that you can afford.
Hostels as Temporary Accommodation
This is another big part of getting yourself ready to live in Canada, and can be the more cost-effective alternative if you have limited funds or are struggling with cash flow problems. You’ll get a private room usually, but some hostels can only offer a bed in a shared room with others. You’ll have washrooms and a kitchen that will let you prepare your meals, albeit these are all shared with other people.
Hostels can be quite cheap to find, but the quality does vary so you need to do a bit of research to find a good balance between cost and quality. You want to give yourself the best living conditions possible when you arrive in a new country, so a bit of due diligence on any hostels you are thinking of using will go a long way to securing this.
You should always check out the official website for a hostel or hotel; this should answer all of your pertinent questions.
