Local Essentials

Living in Toronto as a newcomer

Toronto is Canada's largest city and the most common first stop for newcomers. It has the widest choice of jobs, schools, and community services, along with the highest housing costs in the region.

Getting Around

The TTC runs Toronto's subway, streetcar, and bus network, and GO Transit connects the city to the rest of the GTA. A PRESTO card works on both, so set one up in your first week.

Schools

Public schools are run by the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), with French-language boards as well. Your home address decides which school your children attend.

Public Health & Immunization

Toronto Public Health keeps student immunization records. Bring your children's vaccination history from home, translated if needed, to avoid school registration delays.

Neighbourhoods to Research

Many newcomers compare Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, and East York for more space and lower rents than downtown. Commute time to work and school should drive the decision.

Housing Reality

Rents are among the highest in Canada and good units move fast. Have references, proof of income or funds, and a plan for no Canadian credit history ready before viewings.

Settlement Services

Toronto has a dense network of government-funded settlement agencies and libraries offering newcomer programs. We help you decide which services fit your situation and timeline.
