Best place to start is the Quick Reference Guide, which will give you a run down on the first articles you should be looking at, then look into the items you should bring with you, then check out the rest of the articles, there's a bunch of them, so do your research and check them all out!

If you can't find the answer you are looking for, put your question up on the Questions & Answers forum, and one or more of our community members will almost certainly provide you with an answer or idea of what to do next.

We've got a new article up: Travel insurance.

When you travel anywhere outside your home country, you need travel insurance. When you move to Canada, you'll be able to apply for MSP eventually, but you'll need TI to see you through, as medical bills can get expensive.

We've also negotiated a discount for CanAussie users on World Nomads travel insurance, so go get it!
