Get a job in Toronto

You can move to Toronto by yourself, with a friend or as a couple. There are pros and cons to all of the situations. If you consider moving abroad with any kind of friend it can be a really good idea to sit down and talk through practical and everyday stuff such as economy, bills, cleaning, grocery shopping, cooking vs ordering, going out/staying in, how you deal with potentially going out without each other as well as having friends and family visiting (from near and far and extended visits). Apart from the practical arrangements, life is fun when you can share your new core memories with other people – so it is very recommendable to move abroad together. Moving with a friend can cause you to interact less with new people compared to if you move abroad by yourself. But if this is a good or a bad thing entirely depends on your personal goals and wishes as well as your personality.

Conclusion: communication is key if you and your friend decide to move abroad together

There are many options on how to get around in Toronto. If you want to save money and be eco-friendly you can choose the TTC, Toronto’s public transportation with trains, streetcars, and buses. It can get crowded during rush hour and take a while, but it’s cheap. You can also use ride-sharing apps like Uber or Lyft to take you right where you need to be. Just remember, these can cost more, especially when it’s busy. Taxis are always there, especially at night but they’re the priciest option. Toronto is becoming a bike-friendly city with dedicated bikelanes. Finally, you can also explore downtown on foot. It’s free, healthy, and you’ll see the city close-up.

Most people live in apartments, which come in all shapes and sizes. There are fancy high-rises with pools and gyms, or smaller, more affordable places. Houses are tougher to find in the centre, but they’re more common in suburbs and some neighbourhoods. You can also ind basement apartments, which are basically little homes inside a bigger house, which is a good way to save money on rent.

You can search online on websites like Kijiji or Craigslist, or check with big rental companies that have their own listings. Social media groups for renters in Toronto can also be a good way to find a place. Before you start searching, you should consider how much you can afford to spend on rent. Toronto rent can vary a lot depending on where you live and how big the place is.  Also, research different neighbourhoods to find one that suits your vibe and think about how long you’re willing to travel to get to work. It’s also worth considering what amenities are important to you, like having laundry in the building or a parking spot. Also, the key to landing your perfect spot is to be quick, because Toronto apartments get snatched up fast, so be ready to apply as soon as you find something you like. Have all your important documents ready, like references and proof of your job, and be polite and professional when you meet the landlord. 

Summers are warm and humid with an average of 25°C, perfect for soaking up the sun or catching a free outdoor concert. Fall is colourful and mild, with cooler days and beautiful changing leaves. Winter is cold and snowy and it can drop to -6°C. But the city is great at clearing paths, and there’s a cosy charm to winter nights. Spring is all about renewal, with flowers blooming and people heading back outside.
