When moving to a huge city such as Vancouver, InterNations made it easy for me to find fellow expats and the network that I needed.
Living in Saskatoon
Saskatoon sits in the province of Saskatchewan Canada, and lies south of Saskatchewan river. Overlooking the river is the Bessborough hotel, which many tourists flock to each year for the beautiful views and peaceful environment. Saskatoon is also nicknamed “The City of Bridges”, due to the impressive six bridges that can be found around the city. Expats living in Saskatoon may find the dramatic change in weather between seasons can be both exciting and challenging. You will never have experienced snow quite like the Canadian winter, a winter wonderland lasting months rather than weeks. But don’t let that put you off; the snow stops nothing within the city and the culture built around it is both cozy and welcoming. When the summer rolls around, it brings with it glorious sunshine and dramatic thunderstorms. The climate not only brings new and exciting experiences for expatriates in Saskatoon, but also a variety of photo opportunities quite unlike any you will find elsewhere. The InterNations community is a perfect way to find fellow expats living in your new city, offering expatriates the opportunity to socialize, network and self-organize meet ups in their area. The stereotype of Canadians being the friendliest people you will meet lives up to its reputation in this relatively small city, where you know your neighbors and your face will be remembered around town, making Saskatoon a home away from home for any expat relocating to Saskatoon.
