Thinking about living in Toronto? Read our Toronto Expat Guide to find out all you need to know about the city and moving there.
Our guide was written by Jim Taylor and last published on Saturday 18th December 2010, it's the 2nd edition.
Welcome to Toronto! Anyone relocating to Canada's most populated city will find themselves at the heart of the country's entertainment, financial and cultural offerings. Expatriates living in Toronto will find their new home to be a progressive, cosmopolitan jewel in the "Golden Horseshoe", a region that almost one quarter of all Canadians call home. Despite its dense population, Toronto still has much to offer in lush green spaces, quiet getaways, and a progressive balance between urban living and environmental ownership. With so much to offer to so many, it's no wonder that, in addition to being a major tourist destination, it is the new home of millions of new Canadians from all over the world.
