About Toronto
Canada's largest city feels familiar to Americans — 46% of residents are foreign-born, and the cultural transition is minimal. Housing rivals NYC and SF prices (1-bedroom averages C$2,200+/month), and groceries cost more than in the US. The upside is universal healthcare, excellent public transit, world-class food diversity, and a genuinely multicultural city where you'll fit in immediately.

What American expats need to know about Canada
Visa
Express Entry (Federal Skilled Worker) — points-based system scoring age, education, language, and work experience. Processing takes ~11 months, costs CA$1,525. Leads directly to permanent residency. Provincial Nominee Programs offer alternative pathways with lower requirements if you target a specific province.
Cost of Living
Excluding rent, a single person needs ~$950 USD/mo; a family of four ~$3,400 USD/mo. Rent (1-bed, city center): Toronto ~$2,100, Vancouver ~$2,200, Montreal ~$1,300, Calgary ~$1,400. Groceries run C$12-18/day per person. Overall similar to US; Toronto/Vancouver rival SF, Montreal/Calgary 20-30% cheaper.
Key Fact
Canada has universal healthcare, but wait times for specialists can be months. Having French language skills dramatically improves your Express Entry score and opens up Quebec programs.
Life in Canada
Hockey-night camaraderie, vast wilderness an hour from any city, and a multicultural mosaic where poutine shops sit next to dim sum restaurants and everyone apologizes for everything.
