To make the transition to Canada as easy as possible you will need to prepare. This section
provides an overview of how to prepare for your arrival in Ontario. For detailed information, please
check the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) website at
www.cic.gc.ca
or call the CIC Call
Centre toll-free within Canada at 1-888-242-2100. If you are outside Canada, contact a Canadian
embassy, high commission or consulate in your home country.
As you get ready to leave for Ontario, review the Ontario
Day to Day video and this workbook to learn about life
in Ontario. These resources will help you understand
what you can expect when you arrive. If you have
access to the Internet, research the websites given in
this workbook to find useful information and learn about
services for newcomers.
It is most important to gather all the documents you will
need to enter, settle, work and study in Ontario. A list
of documents you should bring is shown on the next
page. If possible, have these documents translated into
English or French. This will make it easier for Canadian
officials to understand.
