Welcome to Our Community of Expats in Toronto

Welcome to our expat community here in Toronto, here to help you make your way in this city of hot summers and freezing winters. InterNations is the world's largest network for expats and global minds. We have a comprehensive library of guides, advice, and insider tips created especially to support expats with their relocations. Read through our essential information on both Toronto and Canada to find the answers to questions like, "what type of work visa do I need?" and "which neighborhood should I choose?". If you have concerns, uncertainties or everyday questions, visit our excellent forum where friendly fellow expats are ready to share their experiences, from navigating public transportation to finding hockey coaching for your children. Your InterNations account provides reassurance that help is always available.

An Active Lifestyle in Toronto

Fill your new life with culture at the many theaters, watch one of the 50 dance companies, or explore the many museums, from the visually striking Art Gallery of Ontario to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Nature lovers will surely want to visit the extensive Toronto Zoo, and of course the city boasts over 300 parks for picnics, cycling, or just romantic strolls during the surprisingly warm summers. Sports enthusiasts will also find plenty to occupy your time, with baseball, basketball, football, and of course, hockey all being played regularly. Choose to soak up the atmosphere or get active at the city's many sports facilities with the InterNations Toronto Sports Group. Career opportunities in Toronto cover a wide range of industries; financial services, IT, and communications are major employers in addition to life sciences, media, and green energy. For expats with an open mind just hoping to be a part of the job market, there are plenty opportunities on the busy city streets.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger.
