What will I learn?
Moving to Canada is very exciting!
You are probably spending hours in front of your computer researching about everything related to living in Canada. One of the first things that comes into mind is housing. Where should I live in Canada? Should I rent or buy? How much should I put aside for a down payment? What kind of place would be the best option for me and my family but also within my budget? What are the most trustworthy resources and websites that I can use without worrying about being scammed?
We understand it can be quite stressful to do this without being physically here in Canada, and that’s why we have partnered with Scotiabank to host this webinar to help you find a place to live in Canada.
Webinar overview
In this webinar, we will cover the following topics:
- Understanding your needs and budget
- Resources to help you in the research process
- Costs to keep in mind
- Key things to consider when looking for a home
- Working with Scotiabank Financial Advisors and Home Financing Advisors
