This section of CanAussie is all about information, and what we think you need to know when you're thinking about coming and working in Canada.

It's divided into sections which will hopefully make it easy to use and understand, and also don't forget to check out the Quick Reference Guides, as they're a more consice version and let you know where to go to get the information you need.

If you think of an article that you would like (where the best shoe shops are in Vancouver could be an example... a silly one at that, but I'm sure that Nat can help you out with that...) then let us know through the forum.  If you have written something up, don't hesitate to either send it through or post it up in the forum as well - we need all the help we can get to make this THE place to go for information for Aussies (and other folks!) coming to Canada.

So go on, check out the articles - here's the categories to get you started:

Work Permits & Getting to Canada

Accommodation & Work

Banking & Communications
