How do I meet people in Canada?
When we asked people living in Canada about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"There are lots of social activities in and around where I live. For example, University of Toronto offers all kinds of courses, lectures, classes, etc., which anyone can take," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Toronto, Canada.
"I joined the Newcomers Club in my area. This is not the Welcome Wagon. Every member must be new to Canada within the past 2 years and we all help each other. It's marvelous! This is where those special life-long friendships are formed. Here's a few suggestions that are working for me: Take classes. Learn to play squash; join a running, rowing, or pickleball club. Get a part-time job doing something fun. Join a church, a knitting group, a soccer club. There are a million ways to put yourself out there. Just keep smiling and DO talk to strangers. (Don't listen to your mother.)," commented one expat who made the move to Canada.
