Hey all, my partner and I have decided to tie the knot, so I’m going to be on my way from the US to Canada.
I’ve been looking all around the .gov websites, but I am looking for other helpful sites, or maybe even ‘baby’s guide to Canadian stuff’. I’ve been up there a lot so I know how every day life feels, but have no realistic idea about taxes or insurance or voting, etc etc. So yeah, any help would be appreciated.
Huzzah, thank you for the full breakdown, I really appreciate it!
Hmmm, I’ve been looking at jobs in the hope I can make my transition easier, but it sounds like I’ll need the social insurance number before I can really be hired. Catch 22.
But still, thanks a bunch!
Happy to help!
Assuming you already have your PR documents, you should be able to apply for a Social Insurance Number in advance online: https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/sin/apply.html
