Welcome to Canada, Hope you had a
great flight!!!
But now what? What to do after arriving in Canada? Where to
go? If you have many questions and confusion don’t worry here are some tips for Canadian citizenship, which will help you to guide and solve your every
doubt for the same. So what are you waiting let’s see and let’s learn about
the thing to do after arriving the Canada.
Things to do in your first two weeks
1. Apply for your Special Insurance Number:-
It
is needed to work in Canada and for access to government services and
benefits. Also, if someone asks you for SIN ask them why they need it. As an
employer, you play a leading role in protecting your employees’ personal
information and preventing SIN fraud. Your employee's SIN is confidential and
should only be used for income-related information.
2. Apply for government health insurance:-
Through your province or territory’s health ministry as soon as you
arrive in Canada. Depending on where you live, it may take 3 months to get
coverage. Canada provides coverage for approximately 70% of Canada’s
healthcare needs, and the remaining 305 is paid through the private sector.
The 30% typically relates to services not covered or only partially covered by
Medicare like eye care and dentistry. While waiting for the government to
approve your health insurance, it is good to get private medical insurance so
you are covered for any medical needs. Make sure you understand what is covered
as some medical services are not covered.
3. Get your permanent resident card:-
Provide your
Canadian address to Immigration, refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) within 180
Days. Your permanent resident card will arrive at your home in the mail.
Through his card you can work anywhere, you can access universal healthcare and
social services, sponsor your family member to travel and even live in
Canada, get access to free education for your children, can transfer to
Canadian citizenship once you meet the requirements, you can get access to more
expensive rights and freedoms in Canada than temporary residents.
4. Open a
bank account:-
As soon
as you arrive in Canada get a bank account as many specific services are provided
for newcomers. There are 2 main types of bank accounts you can use: Savings
account and Chequing Account. The bank will provide you a debit card to access
your account at the bank and at an ATM. Canada has many different banks where
you can visit or search online to explore the different services that they offer
to their customers.
5. If you have an emergency, call 911:-
This is the national emergency telephone number that connects to local
police, firefighters, and ambulances. Some places in rural or isolated areas may
use a different number. Make sure to verify the local emergency number where
you live.

and you get to know about the basics things to do after arriving but now you
need to do some more hard work. So let’s know what hard work you need to do!!

There are different types of housing in Canada. Housing costs in Canada
are high, especially in large cities, and it can be challenging for you to find affordable rental apartments or housing that meet your needs. So find affordable and suitable accommodation.
2. Register your children in school:-
The school year starts in
late August or early September, and finishes in June. Children attend school from
Monday to Friday, and also schools are closed on public holidays. The
registration process can take several weeks. It is best to enroll your child as
soon as possible. Also during registration, you need to show several legal documents:-
Your
child’s age (such as a passport)
-
Your
legal relationship (as parent or guardian)
-
Where
you live with your child (home address)

You can ask for transportation options for your child to school during the registration process.

Go to your local library or search
online to learn about new neighborhood and public transportation options.
Visit the local community, markets, and restaurants and make new friends who
will help you to get familiar with the city or area you live in. Also in the
starting stage, it might be difficult for the students to survive but nothing to
worry about. You can visit local stores and also in the universities you can
make many friends who will help you in the initial days.
