RELOCATION

A comprehensive site with statistics (demographic profiles, population density, and so on) for Canadian cities, provinces and territories.

A detailed checklist that reminds you of the little tasks that require doing in the eight weeks prior to your move. For example: Notify your doctors in week 3, and ask for referrals. Week 4: Collect empty boxes; check auto insurance rates in your new hometown. Week 5: Throw a party; movers will not move open liquor bottles.

Links to governments, schools, movers and cultural or religious associations. Also: cost-of-living reports available by order, salary surveys and a breakdown of provincial taxes.

Consult this federal government site to organize your taxes prior to and after a move. Includes a link to Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, which lists exemptions on moving expenses.
