A New Chapter in Canada

Hi there! Welcome to Oh Canada Life. I moved to Toronto, Canada, in late 2023 with my husband and our two dogs, and it has been one of the biggest and toughest adventures of my life. As a new immigrant, I know how overwhelming it can feel to start fresh in a new country—figuring out everything from the weather to finding a new community. I started this blog to share my experiences and lessons learned along the way, hoping to help others on a similar journey.

I’m here to share the real side of life in Canada, with all its ups and downs. Let’s make your Canadian experience a little easier and more enjoyable together. Thanks for stopping by!
