Considering a move away from home is one of the biggest decisions one can make. Whether it be for work or just the experience of trying something new, or rather a new place to live in, it’s all a scary but massive adventure and one that should not be taken lightly.
First off, Canada is considered as one of the most beautiful and safest countries in the world. It is also one of the countries that ranks the highest when it comes to things like salary expectations, the quality of life and healthcare.
There are a few things you need to know before moving to Canada which are all factors that need to be considered. You also must decide whether all the positives, as well as some negatives of this country, make it worth moving to.
Canada is bilingual
Are you comfortable with various cultures and languages all thrown into the same pot? If yes, then this pot is the one for you. Canada has two official, as well as various other popular languages. Their official languages include both English and French. There are about 18% of Canadians that can speak both fluently. If you don’t like French, consider giving Quebec a skip as it is the first language of all who lives there. Hence, who doesn’t like a little, or a lot of French?
Toronto is not the capital of Canada

Canada is the second largest country in the world
Next to Russia, this could possibly be one of the reasons why it is also considered to be one of the most powerful countries in the world. It is also considered to be the 8th least dense country which is rather remarkable if you consider its size.
20% of the globe's freshwater is in Canada
Can I come? Who wouldn't want an abundance of natural water resource when approximately 60% of the world's population is experiencing some sort of current or future water shortage. Due to this fact, ecosystems are regarded as a high priority in the country.
