Moving to Regina

Regina is served by Regina International Airport, with daily flights to numerous major North American cities - something many expatriates in Regina take advantage of for business purposes. Regina’s public transport is efficient and affordable, and it sits on the Trans Canadian highway - making it easily reachable by road as well as air. Train service, however, is somewhat lacking. Expats thinking of moving to Regina should know that the sports and leisure amenities are excellent and the shopping scene is local and eclectic, with plenty of choice. Many expatriates living in Regina are keen to remind us that the city is also known for its huge selection of restaurants, and is hospitably close to Moose Jaw, Regina Beach, Fort Qu’Appelle, and Rouleau.

Working in Regina

Regina is the commerce and cultural center of Saskatchewan, which is the second largest province in Canada. Many expats come here because the city has a below average unemployment rate, well-educated citizens, and is home to a good university. Expatriates are also attracted to Regina as it is situated in a part of Canada where English is chiefly spoken. The oil and natural gas industries do particularly well here and bolster a large part of Regina's economy, although there are a good variety of other large and successful businesses that call Regina home and employ a number of locals and expatriates working in Regina.
