Finding a place to live is one of the most important steps in the settlement process.  Immigrants should consider looking for a place to stay before they arrive in Canada. Some key things to know are listed on the Settlement Ontario website.

There are many housing options available. Immigrants should choose the one that best meets their needs.  Here are some important questions to ask:

• Is it better to live in the city or the country?
• Is it better to rent or to buy? 
• What can you afford?
• Do you understand your mortgage or rental contract?
